So i have had my bearded dragon for about two months now and ive been so happy with him. He ate properly (greens daily, crickets every other day unless he found the cricket box and was trying to eat them from outside the box). I pout him to bask after every time he ate, made sure he was getting 10-12 hrs of sleep, bathing once a week. Recently, his appetite has dropped drastically. It has been three days without food other than today. He hasnt been eating any greens for a week, almost two. I am becoming very concerned with him because he head pods have been shrinking and i woke up one day with them flat. I have bathed him daily for 4 days attempting to raise them but it is barely working. He is pooping a little amount and he starts a poop in his age but will only finish the poop if he is water (assuming bc he becomes more relaxed). It seems like he has had trouble pooping within the past two weeks. He really seems to force or push it out. 5 days ago he pooped a very large amount. he pushed for 30-45 seconds and produced a 2x2 space of poop. Today was the most he has eaten with about 13-15 crickets. He used to be very active with his hunting of crickets but when i take him out to actually hunt them, he either looks at them and does nothing or just runs and tries to sleep. Im becoming very worried because he is my first lizard and i made sure to do extensive research before buying one. I will answer any questions regarding my setup or him in general, thank you.
