I have been reading other peoples problems like mine and i sounds like brumation but am not sure? Only had him for 5 months now.Hes a male and hes 2 years old.

hmm, it might be brumation, but they usually eat.
what type of lights do you have?
if you have, what type of UVB do you have?
what are the temps?
what type of veggies do you give him?
do you give him calcium and supplements?
do you give him baths?
when was the last time he pooped?
what size enclosure?

i hope hes feeling better soon!!!

My temps are 95f - 100f through the day adn 65f-70f at night time.
He dosent eat any veg or fruit? Last owner had same problem with him??
Dust my food 2-3 times a week with calcium and multivitiamin.
He popped last saturday.
Usally give him baths but havent for abt 3 weeks now.

i think i may know the problem.
as for uvb lights, there are few that provide the right lighting that beardies need. i recommend switching it with ReptiSun 10.0, which you can get on pet mountain.com, or repti glo 8.0 or 10.0
also, they do need veggies. heres a site that shows the appropriate foods that are good- http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html foods highlighted green are the best.
hope that helps^^

ok....A got told that the arcadia D3 12% is slightly better than the reptisun10.0? A had repti glo coil bulb before a switched to the arcadia. A Cant get a reptisun as a live in the UK,Pet mountain dosent to deliveres to UK. A tryed to get a reptisun before a got the arcadia. When a was asking peolple on the website about lighting they suggested arcadia.
My beardie eat the day 7 waxworms and 1 cricket. That was the 1st time hes eat since last monday.
Dont know what 2 do???

Thanks for help..cavey
