Beardy Behaviour/Health Issues

[emski]

Hi Guys

My bearded dragon Ruski is 1 years old and ive noticed lately she isnt showing much interest in food.

She will eat salad (dusted with vites) and she eats mealworms no worries which i usually only give to her as a treat due to the fat on them.

Anyway she usually eats 2 -3 punnets of crickets per week to herself and lately shes lucky to get through one?

Her temps of the enclosure is hot end 35 - 38 degrees and the cool end 26 -30 degrees.

Has correct uv globes and also gets direct sunlight every 2nd day for 15 minutes.

Her fat storage in tail is good she seems healthy and happy?

I tried to offer her a pinky but she showed no interest at all in it.

What else can i do?

She may be going through brumation. There is a good article on it under "Care Sheets and Articles" at the top of the page.

I was told by a local breeder that the older a BD gets, the less it's interested in live food. I'm still new at having one, so I could always be wrong. :dontknow:

That is true too. IF she's eating a substantial amount of salad with vitamins you should be okay.

If she slows down on the salad she may be going through brumation.
