Help! Doesnt want to bask!

[Madie]

Hi guys. I'm really getting concerned about Soc now and would really appreciate some help. He's roughly 8 or 9 months old and bout 15" nose to tip of tail. He's baksing temps (measured with a probe) is roughly 102 and cool side bout 80. He's got a Arcadia D3 UVB light thats about 5 months old. Nothing has been changed in his viv for a good few months, however over the last two weeks his appitite has decreased loads not eating his salad and only eating about 5 feeders a day. He's also only been pooping every other day. He's also become lethagic not wanting to bask as much and he keeps going to lie in the cooler side on the floor. I dont knoe what to do Can someone please help i'm really getting worried bout my baby now

Sorry just to mention i am taking a sample to the vet but this will only be next week

kind of sounds like brumation.....

I would have to agree with Kaitlyn, sounds like your Soc wants to brumate. I know they say bd's rarely brumate in their first year of life, but that's not to say it couldn't happen. Please still do get that stool sample to the vet to be safe. If if comes back ok I would say your baby is growing up and wants to brumate. Good luck...hope your beardie is ok !!

Thanks guys. I'll defo get the sample to the vets next week, just to be safe He's still the same today, just kinda hanging around the cooler side. I'm giving him warm baths every other day to keep him hydrated as his not eating as much. Cant believe his growing up so fast!
