Too young for that. How is their poo? Smelly? different consistency?

Have you ever had a fecal done?
Have you soaked them? Dehydrated?

first off, at that age, brumation is probably not the reason. They do slow down during the winter but baby beardies usually don't brumate.

Second, the reptiglo uvb tube is part of your problem. That uvb has caused problems. Turn it off and go to petmountain.com and get a reptiSUN 10 tube. Don't get any coil or compact uvb bulbs as they aren't really good. Some have improved but aren't long enough to give the beardies uvb over their entire bodies.

Third, you said your basking spot temps is 90? What are you taking the temps with? The basking spot should be at 95 to 110, closer to 110 for babies. If you are taking the temps with a stick on, the basking spot could be way to hot. I use the accurite digital thermometer with probe and that does good as it measures the cool side where the thermometer is and the probe, you put on the basking spot and the second temp measures where the probe is. The one I have also gives you a humidity reading, unless your humidity is under 20, it only says "lo" at that point. You could also use a temp gun.

i will take your advice and replace with the reptiSUN ...
nice to see them pick up and after thinking things over, their basking bulb broke the other day and i couldnt get hold of one til the next morning so maybe that caused them to go downhill ?!?!? thanks for your help ! :)

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.
