[Dookiefresh21]

So a bit of info on the eclosure reptile carpet climbing log 100-105 degree basking log 80-75 degree cool zone a hide 40 galon tank. Anyways my bearded dragon is around 8 months old i got him when he was 6 months he used to be eating a 10+ crickets daily and salad every other day salad had calcium dust bathe once a week and 2 sprays a day but within the last week his eating habit changed he will eat a tiny bit of salad and he doesnt seem interested in crickets he doesnt go and chase them liek he used to and when he does eat its more like 4-5 crickets. Im a new bearded dragon owner and i just want the best for my little guy.

They go through phases like that when their appetite decreases for a bit. It can be related to their growth cycle, perhaps a shed has them irritated, or it could just be a mood. Is he still active and alert? If so, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just keep offering food on a regular schedule and let him take what he wants. If his weight is stable and he's active then he's probably fine.
