Beardie not eating...

[clearlyjoyful]

Sorry mods, I posted this first in health, but I'm getting more and more worried about it, so I posted it here too. Here's where I'd prefer it anyway...

Hey guys.
So Itchy, my 4-5 year old beardie is suddenly not eating. It's only started today, but I'm still kind of concerned because it's not like him.
I gave him kale this morning and I had to go out for most of the day. I came back about 5:00 and it didn't look touched. I gave him a couple crickets which he still hasn't pursued and I have a feeling I'll be scooping them outta there at the end of the night. He didn't even touch carrots when I went to give him some of those.

He is acting pretty lethargic too, but he doesn't really look ill at all. He's pooping still. I put him in the bath, to get him to poop because he prefers pooping in there, and usually he'll run around, have a drink, that kinda thing. He didn't move. After his bath, he usually gets to run around the floor of my apartment, and he did that. He ran a bit but was definitely more low-key than usual.

At first I suspected maybe brumation, but I think typically when they brumate, they lie on the cooler side of the tank. He's just been lying on his basking spot (which is sitting at around 96-97*). The crickets were able to even walk on his head, or his front legs, without him flinching. He'll watch them, but he won't go after them. I tried dangling one in front of his face, but he didn't go for that either.

Any ideas?

Is it possible he just gorged yesterday and is not hungry today ?

Your dragon is an adult, so hopefully others will have ideas. I've read that adults typically don't have live feeders every day ? (mine is only 7 months old, so I haven't gotten to adult stage yet)

It's possible, I suppose, for him to have eaten lots of veggies yesterday and simply not be hungry today. He hasn't had crickets for a number of days, so that's why it's strange. He doesn't get live feeders everyday and it's been an unusually long time since he's had them, so I expected him to go nuts over them instead of, well... this.

He's acting very lethargic today. Not extremely, but compared to normal, pretty lethargic. Normally when he comes out, he scrambles everywhere looking for stuff to lick and stuff to explore. Today he just sat on me. He just cuddled into me. Now he's back in his cage lying flat on his log.
