Hi everyone,
my bearded dragon Sherbert has stopped eating for 5 days now. He's done this before when we were off on vacation and he wouldn't eat with his sitter, but since I've returned he's been eating fine. But the past 5 days he's stopped eating entirely.
Setup:
50 Gallon Tank
Heat lamp: bright white 70 watt flood light (heats up surface 100-110 degrees Fahrenheit)
UVB: Reptisun 10.0 T5 florescent tube
Both lights 10 inches away from basking spot
Cool side 80-85 degrees and hot side 85-90
Substrate: non-adhesive shelf liner
I feed him roaches and what I usually do is let them run in a straight line in front of him and he'll go catch it and eat it. He sometimes skips a day eating which is normal, he's about a year and 2 months now, but no matter how many roaches walk in front of him, he won't look at it even if I lower his head. He's still active but just not hungry, no signs of parasites either.
Thanks for any input
