Hello everyone, I have a one year old dragon about two weeks ago he stopped eating, I mean he eats a few crickets here and there, but not his veggies. Should I be concerned?
I know a few weeks ago it was really cold here in Fl but it's warming up know so I don't know if the cold weather has something to do with this behavior
Oh and by the way he look good as far as weight goes
At that age, though late in the year, he could be going through brumation. Brumation is the equivalent of a bear’s winter hibernation, but the dragon’s body doesn’t shut down as completely as the bear’s and only becomes dormant. Are there any other symptoms? Is he still basking?
Yeah it could be an issue with shedding to lighting or possibly brumation. It's good that his weight seems stable. I would weigh him regularly and keep a log so you can track that for sure. Is he otherwise alert and active? Or is he sleepy and hiding?

Yes he's alert and active, it's just the eating part I'm concerned about. I still put food daily even if I have to throw it out at the end of the day. I also but his crickets to
