Hi all, I'm new so still trying to navigate this site. Please bear with me.
So my Western/dwarf bearded dragon is 9 months old and this week he's been eating less and irregularly. He's not shedding as far as I'm aware and seems alert and active.
Monday- 14 (BSFL, black soldier flies)
Tuesday- 7 (crickets, BSFL)
Wednesday- 23 (Wood cockroaches, crickets, BSFL)
Thursday- 22 (BSFL, Black soldier flies)
Friday- 4 (crickets, BSFL).
Also he doesn't bask for very long. Maybe 5 minutes at a time and he goes elsewhere. He probably basks around 5 times a day.
My basking info:
Exo terra 100W bulb distance from basking: 18.5cm (7.28 inches)
Basking platform:
- famidoc temperature gun: 40°c - 43°c (104°f - 109.4°f)
- iPetz digital thermometer: 43°c (109 4°f)
Arcadia desert t5 UVB 24W 21.65 inches; distance from basking: 18.5cm (7.28 inches).
Ceramic heat emitter 100W: used nighttime when temperature drops below 21°c (69.8°f)
Temperature in middle: 26°c (78.8°f)
Tenperature at cool end: 25°c (77°c)
Enclosure size: 120x60x60cm (4x2x2 feet)
Is there a problem with the eating or basking?
I have pictures and more info on my profile. Please help me if you can. Thank you very much
