My dragon, Puff, for the past few weeks doesnt get up, bask, eat his salads (he still eats worms) or poop on his own.
He will stay wrapped up in his towel all day, I have to take him out or he will just stay in there literally all day, and even when I do pull him out of his towel he doesn't bask anymore... he either goes into his hide and sleeps or sits up on his log in the same place without moving for sometimes over 24 hours.
He just usually lays there flat on the bottom of his tank with his eyes closed or cracked... when I come near he opens them and looks at me.
He hasn't eaten his vegetables in about 2 1/2 weeks, but if I put worms in his tank, when he sees them he perks up rusn to the bowl and eats them all.
He doesn't poop normally anymore either, he used to poop everyday in the afternoon, but now he wont do it in his tank. Everytime I give him a bath he will poop, he went 3 days until I gave him a bath.
When I take him out and put him on the floor he runs around for a few minutes but then goes into the corner and sleeps.
Im really not too worried about him sleeping more because he is 11 years old, but considering his age I am worried he could be getting sick... but I think he might be brumating (I have already read the article), I guess the good thing is that he does still eat worms and poops when in the bath.
He went to the vet about 2 months ago and she said he looked great but needed to gain some weight which he has since then. He did have worms but has already been treated for that.
Some info about his set up:
basking temp is 103-106
cool side is 85 (a little high I know, Ive been trying to get my bf to fix it)
Using a megaray mvb bulb he gets within 16 in
no heat pad
He is on non adhesive shelf liner
temps taken with a digital probe thermometer
he gets worms dusted with repcal w/o d3 2x a week ~ 30-50 worms a week (5-10 a day)
he is offered a salad of squash, collard greens, bell pepper, carrots, raisins, apple (mainly squash and greens)everyday in the morning
he gets a bath every few days
he is 10-11 years old
I have had him since the beginning of July
he is 16 inches long
At the beginning of August he weighed 13 oz = 368 g (according to the vet)
I weighed him about a month ago and he weighed some where around 420 grams, cant remember exactly
he gets a bath every few days
Any suggestions?
