Bearded dragon not eating.

[Brilynnpearson]

Hi. I've had my beardie for about four months now (he's older than four months) but he won't eat. I woke up yesterday morning to feed him and he didn't go after the crickets. I figured he was just not hungry yet, so I left the crickets in his cage and went to school. My lizard usually always eats as soon as I put crickets in his cage. It's now 4:00 the next day and he still hasn't eaten. He won't eat his greens, crickets or superworms. Why is he not eating?

I wouldn't worry if it's only been one day, but just in case, what are your temps at, what type of thermometer do you have and what uvb do you have? Those are common causes of smaller appetites. Also, you really shouldn't leave crickets in with your beardie, they can be dangerous for him.

Sometimes my bearded dragon will not eat right away. My bearded dragon will eat applesauce from a syringe when she isn't eating her crickets or kale. I hope your beardie starts eating again.

what time of year is it there? and what uvb bulb do you have, if its coiled, get it out IMMEDIATELY.
