My Bearded dragon is lazy and wont eat unless I hand feed hi

[kpvadasz]

Hi,
I have a bearded dragon who is a year old and his name is Ike. He seems to be very lazy. When we first got him he was great at eating crickets. Then to larger crickets. I always had the bearded food in the cage with him as well but he never ate that food. Now that he is much larger he use to eat super worms about every 3 days. Now he has stopped eating them and now only eats fruits and veggies and that is only if I hand feed him. I put the fresh greens in with him but he will not eat them. I say he is stubborn. He is in a very large tank and is able to get around very easy but he usually finds his spot and just lays there. I bought him a large tree for him to climb up to go into his net and unless i put him on this tree he wont climb up it. He seems to be very healthy. He loves his baths and I get him out everyday. He is extremely friendly but I just don't know if this is normal or what else I should do. Any info would be great.
Thanks
Kim

I don't have suggestions as I am new to Bd's but I sure was hoping for more replies to this post, especially from Brandon!

I do bath Ike quite a bit. He loves his baths and his fruits and veggies but he has no interest in and bugs anymore. He is very friendly and does not act sick but he won't climb up his tree. I have to put him on his net and he won't climb down so I move him down. So either he is very spoiled or just lazy. I'm not sure. I swear all my animals are not normal. Maybe it's just me. I have new things coming for him. I will update when it gets here.
