Hello, just this morning when i awoke my bearded dragon i noticed his eyes were droopy and he was lethargic. He is moving his head slower than normal and hasn't moved an inch from the spot he woke up on. He was completely normal yesterday and also pooped yesterday. Any advice? :(

Hello,

Sorry your dragon is not doing well today.
Do you have any pictures of him? Is his beard black in color?
Has he been brumating?

Please review your tank setup with us such as your UVB lighting, heating & diet. What is his age?

I dont really have any pictures of him in the current state as i had to turn my phone into AT&T for a repair, but his beard looks normal. I have reptisun 10.0 UVB, dome heating, 8-10 crickets a day and occasional veggies. He is around 10 months old. He shouldnt be brumating yet because its still in the 70s here.

My youngest dragon was born on Oct 1, 2012. Shi is trying to brumate, and it is in the 90's + every day. She seems to be healthy in every other way, with a fresh fecal check to make double sure. Sometimes they just decide to brumate when everything is perfect. Its a natural thing, and I have been told to allow her to do it.
Good Luck

Hello,

How far is the Reptisun 10 tube bulb from him & is there any screen or plastic in between him & the light?
Is he losing weight or maintaining weight right now?
What are the basking temperatures for him?

We have one who brumated at 6 months & was fine when he came out.
I would get a fecal done to be sure he doesn't have worms or parasites first, then at his age, he could safely brumate as long as he doesn't have any health issues that need to be addressed.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
