Bearded dragon not eating

[Furmeses]

i have a ten to 11 month old bearded dragon who has recently stopped eating. He lives in a 4ft viarnuim with 10.0 uvb tube with a basking spot that gets to 40 degress cel. Becuase hes a bit older now ussually he would eat 12-15 larger crickets eats day with some greens such as collard and rocket. However for the past two days he seems to have gone off his food only eating a few crickets ussualy late at night and only a few pecices of veg. I still mist him 3 to 4 times a day and he also pooed to today that was normal with the normal amount of urine so hes not dehytraded, im just wondering what should i do or if i should be worried? His behaviour is still normal tho and he still is very active and walks about

I'm no expert but if he just pooed and is as active as usual he sounds good and I wouldn't worry for now. Maybe try some of his favourite foods tomorrow and let us know how he gets on.

Is he still using his original UVB tube ?

They decay over time it's usually recommended that you replace them about every 6 months, else the levels of UVA and UVB will be much too low ( more like that from a 5% UVB or even a 2% UVB tube ) this might be the reason for the loss in apetite ( he's getting insufficient UVA ).

And it's common for a hatchling to become more laid back about his eating at about the same age , preteen blues (moodines) or they simply know the next meal of bugs wont be far away so they are no longer eating like this might be the last meal they'll see.
