My beardie is about 4 months old, he is about 9 inches from he tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. His basking light ranges from 105 - 115 farenheit. His uv lamp is on about 12 hours a day, so everything is pretty normal. The bottom of the tank is lined with artificial grass because I heard ingesting sand is bad for his tummy. Eli hasn't eaten crickets for close to 2 weeks, hasn't shed for about 6 weeks at least . He eats veggies so I was thinking maybe he is a vegetarian. I bought some baby food (squash and carrot flavoured) but he doesn't seem to care for it much. I have a second bearded dragon (Cliff) and he is almost 3 times the size of poor Eli. I was thinking it was maybe parasites, but he hasn't decreased in size, just hasn't grown. Should we take him to the vet? Can anyone help me?

Having the same issues with both of mine....
Starting to get worried because I think they are too young for brumation.

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!
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.
