Hey guys! Looking for some advice on my little man.
He's 8.5 months old, we got him back in April and recently he's been a bit off!
He used to be very active, up with his lights, rampaging around the living room and a very active hunter. The past month he's been hanging out in his sleepy spot, not keen on hunting at all and nowhere near the appetite he used to have. He won't touch crickets any more and will eat maybe 3-5 locust if we hand feed! He used to chase his locusts eagerly and eat around 14 at a time. He's still eating his greens but again not as much as before.
I know his age will have a factor in his decrease in appetite bur what's concerning me more is that he's going to bed early & getting up late.
I had a fecal test done around a month ago which showed 'a negligible amount' of pinworm ova abd no treatment was advised. Could this be the issue?
He weighs around 300g and looks a healthy weight. He is alert and not what I would call lethargic, maybe just a bit more prone to hiding & less active. He has a good set up 12% arcadia t5 basking spot is around 30 but he's an open door dragon so his vivarium isn't shut & he's free to roam the living room as he pleases, he's very good at going home to recharge & warm up.
I'm just worried that he's feeling poorly? And sad that he seems like he's enjoying life less!
Here's some recent photos of him for attention
any advice/ opinions greatly received!
