Bearded won’t eat

[Happymule]

My dragon is 8 months old He had good appetite until about month ago. Vet X-rayed and did blood work. CBC. Was good. She said rest of blood work was good. She checked virus. He didn’t have any No parasites He is still not eating. We have him in 75 gallon zen tank. Basking 95 to 101. Cool side 85. We have u v light. Still don’t know what we doing wrong

What have you tried feeding him? Exactly how long have he gone without eating? I know mines get tired of eating the same things so I switch the greens up weekly. I also add bee pollen to the greens which helped tremendously.

How are you getting the basking temp? It should be taken w/ a digital probe thermometer- and it should be a surface basking temp - uvb are you using a coil or long tube fixture - they will quit eating w/ incorrect surface basking temps and uvb -

It’s been about a month. We feed him spring mix. Arugula. Crickets and Dubia roaches I will try the bee pollen. We also tried kale turnip greens. Thank you for your help

The u v bulb is a long tube. And we are using a digital gun thermometer. What should the surface basking temp be

Digital probe thermometer- needs to be used - they are the most accurate - temp gun is good but will not read off of certain materials like hammocks- temp should be 95-100 -- your uvb is a T 5 or T 8 and where in the tank is it? How old is the bulb?

 

[Happymule]

Have t 8 bulb for about 4 months. I’m looking for a digital probe thermometer. U v bulb inside tank

Ok please upgrade your uvb zoo med 24" fixture T 5 bulb or Arcadia pro T 5 w/ a 12% bulb - PetSmart has started carrying them if you have one there check see if it's in stock - the T 8 needs to be lowered to 6-8 inches-

Ok I will definitely try that Thank you for the help
