So over the weekend my bearded dragon Nova has been looking very tired. He ate one his full meal on Friday, only one cricket on Saturday and nothing today. He gets a full 10-11 hours of nighttime and sometimes falls asleep when i handle him but still looks very tired. Any idea whats wrong with him?

Is he eating regularly? Do you have uvb and uva light? Cause if you dont i believe that could be a reason for it being so tired cause its not getting enough energy to move much.

Nova's cage stays at around 96-103 degrees. He has a UVB light and a 100 watt basking light. I feed him whatever amount of crickets he wants dusted with calcium everyday and multivitamins once a week and i give him vegetables every 2-3 days. I spray him everyday and give a bath once a week and i handle him at least an hour a day. He also never leaves his basking spot which is sort of the problem cause he won't get down to hunt his crickets.

When is the last time you replaced the uvb bulb? You could also try switching his food up, he might just be bored with the crickets? Mine is lazy like that too and stopped eating her phoenix worms until I switched to dubia roaches ^^

ty drache for moving this. I'm also glad to say that Nova looks a lot better now. I think he just didn't get good sleep because i was at home so much over the weekend. I came back home to the crickets i had put for him earlier gone and him looking much more healthy and active. Ty guys for your help

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
