so i said in my other thread that my bearded dragon hasnt eaten anything in about a month. i read both articles on brumation behavior and thought it was that, but now im thinking not. He is coming out to bask but still ignores his food, and he is starting to lose weight. his fecal is clear, no bugs in there, and no sign of any other illness. He just looks at his roaches and after a minute walks away. same with greens. ive tried multiple different insects but he is not interested in any of them. so, with him starting to lose weigh I come to you, the experts. any advice on getting him to eat?

as always, cage parameters....... 75 gallon, tile substrate, reptisun 10.0 over whole cage, screen cut, 95-100 basking 80-90 ambient, oh, and he is an adult, i didnt raise him from a baby, but he is around 2 years of age. i have had him about 8 months now

the bulb is pretty new, two months old. he doesnt have a traditional hide but he has several areas he can shelter under if he wants out of the light

Can you post a picture of your dragon?
A picture of the enclosure?
Feeding routines, what feeders, what salads?
Bathing?
ETC...

i can get pics up a little later today but his schedule is greens in the morning, usually mustard, collard, dandelion, some squash occasionally. few hours later he gets dubia roaches. before this "fast" he would eat a tiny bit of greens, then eat around 10-15 mid size dubia. I feed him in a bowl in his cage. he gets a bath every two to three days. supplements a few times a week. I usually hold him everyday, let him run around but now he just sits in my lap, not wanting to explore. ive tried superworms and crickets to see if he will eat something else, he aet one cricket, then walked away. I did add a Blue tongue skink to the room about 6 weeks ago which changed the room around a bit but according to my records he was still eating then so, im not sure that is the cause. anyway, thats his schedule

Can you check the dragons stomach for content. Gently feel both the left and right sides, let us know if there is any thing in there?
What is the debris on the enclosure floor?
Can you get Bene-Bac? Have you tried Bene-bac or any other pro-biotic?

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
