I have a five to six month old beardie who has been very stubborn with me for awhile now and refuses to eat. I got him when he was two to three months old. He used to eat very well when I first got him but then something snapped and now he refuses to eat. He went off of food for a month and even started to brumate. I have since gotten him out of brumation and I've increased his humidity to 35-40% and I've added a secondary red heat lamp that's on constantly plus his sun bulb that provides heat uva and uvb it's 100w. I have a heat gun and his basking spot reaches 99 degrees and his other side stays at about 80 degrees. I try to feed him everyday and he flat out refuses. I've noticed he gets freaked out very easily. Me even opening the top of his cage freaks him out and his beard turns black. I got him to eat two superworms on Wednesday of this week and that was the first food in a month. He refuses to eat his vegetables or fruit. He only sparingly eats here or there. I've reached a breaking point. I don't know what else to do. I can see his poor little hip bones and I am so frustrated I want to help him so badly but I can't figure out how. His spot lamp stays on for 10-12 hours a day as well. Please help me!
