Oscar isn't acting normal

[BeardedOscar]

My little baby bearded dragon oscar has not been eating anything for 3 days. He is always tired and only opens his eyes if i give him a bath or spray water on him. his temperatures were low so we are going to get a new light tommorow. any advice would be helpful please. he is under 6 inches and just a baby so i doubt it would be brumation :dontknow: He is also shedding, so is that part of the problem? I read somewhere that barometric changes in the weather can make them like this. Is that true? Also he is very limp and every time i pick him up and set him back down, he just saggs. He doesn't hold up his head and doesn't move around that much. When i set him down in his bath, he doesn't hold his head out of the water so i have to scoot him up to where he can breath. Do i need to take him to the vet or can i do something?

Get him into a vet, babies are not as hardened as adults

Thanks. Tomorrow we will go get his new lights and see if that fixes it. If not, then we will go see a vet. Do you have any advice on the not opening eyes thing? do u think its because of the uvb bulb im using? :dontknow: It is a exo terra reptiglo 10.0 uvb. if it is then i will go get new uvb bulb tomorrow too.
