[QUOTE="J4ckdaw-, post: 2030133, member: 117954"] Hello, First of all, what type of UVB fixture do you have? Coil bulbs of any brand do not provide near enough UVB for a beardie and most other reptiles. What you need is a tube lamp fixture, either 24w or 39w depending on placement. 24w if it is inside the tank and 39w if it is outside, preferably 12-14% depending on the mesh. What are your temps? Basking spot for a juvenile should be 95-100f with a cool side of 70-80f. How do you measure these temps? Stick-one and thermo guns can be incorrect. Preferably, you’d read these with a digital probe thermometer. They provide the most correct readings. What is your humidity? Should be around 29-48%. After reviewing his diet… I do have some concerns, you said you feed him random bugs you find around? He could have eaten something toxic, what have you fed him? Also, mealworms should not be fed as a staple bug! They have hard eco-skeletons that are difficult to digest! Has he pooped recently? He may be impacted… Have you taken him in for a checkup yet? You should do that yearly, most importantly soon after your first purchase to ensure he is in good health! Pet stores such as Petsmart or Petco may sell sickly bearded dragons. Have a fecal done asap, petstore beardies frequently come parasite ridden (at least, that was my experience). Overall, a vet visit is needed. A young dragon not eating is quite the concern. Good luck, keep us posted with new updates please! [/QUOTE]
