I got my beardie on Friday, 4 days ago he's about 3-4months. The first 2 days I brought him home he ate like a champ & I was impressed. Going after tons of crickets, eating salad on his own & drinking standing water.
Then on Sunday he stopped eating crickets. I have been putting him in a separate bin to feed & he's just not interested. He just looks at me & tries to climb out. He's still eating salad & drinking water.
Tank:40 gallon (36x18x18)
Basking: zoo med 100w basking bulb (95-110)
Temps: hot side mid 80s cool mid 70s
UVB: reptisun 10.0 24" tube

Have you tried offering the crickets in his home? Some dragons get too upset about being in a strange feeding tub and won't eat.

Yeah I tried that. He just looks at them & ignores them. Also tried putting them in his salad that didn't work either

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.
