My baby beardie Peanut hasn't eaten in the past 3 days. It looks like he picks at his greens but doesn't eat them like he used to. Hes getting to be around the 3 month age; but 3 days ago (the last time he ate) he had alot more crickets than he normally has. He is still pooping and peeing but not as much as he normally does. One of his poops looked like there was almost an undigested cricket in it but it might just be over exaggerating it because I'm worried. If you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated, thank you
 
Have you had a poo sample tested by a vet? I mean i guess it could very well be that he had more crickets so he isn't as hungry but a beardie not going for food would worry me. What are the temps like in your habitat? I know if the temp was too low they won't eat.
The only reason i ask about the poo is because my vet wanted me to bring a sample in from my beardie to test. I guess worms and such can be pretty common in beardies and too many can case problems.

Were you able to replace the Zilla UVB?

Would be a good idea if you fill us in on the tank temps and the type of thermometer you're using.

When he last ate, were the crickets all no bigger than the space between his eyes? How is he doing now?

I really appreciate everyone's concern. I'm happy to tell you my baby is doing great! I believe the crickets were a little too big for him and as soon as I bought smaller ones eats been eating normally, even eating more of his greens! Thanks everyone :)

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
