For the past four weeks, my 1 year old male dragon has been eating less and less. Lately, he's been refusing any sort of food at all and just wants to burrow under his paper towels and sleep. He's active if he's taken out of his tank and occasionally will bask on his branches.
Husbandry:
Warm spot: 95-100F
Cool side: usually 85-90F
UVB: changed in early August. It's a reptisun 10.0
Tank: 40 gallon breeder
Temperatures checked with a probe and a temp gun.
His greens are usually mustard, turnip, and collard. He gets endives and basil switched off for every other day. His insects are roaches, superworms, and hornworms.
He's weighed weekly and he's been losing about 5-7 grams a week. He was 400 grams when this all started and his fat reserves are still nice and full.
He was taken to the vet not long ago and given a clean bill of health, including a poop check for parasites.
His last stool was on the 17th and it appeared very healthy. He gets baths every other day for at least 15 minutes.
We are going through an unusual period of cold right now, so I'm wondering if it might have set off his brumation instincts early. What should I do? Should I just leave him alone? Should I continue offering food daily?
