Please help my dragon is acting unusual
Our male dragon has not been himself lately when we looked into it we found out that he wants to mate with our female dragon... The trouble is now he hasnt eaten properly for nearly 2 weeks, some days he eats 2 or 3 crickets other days he eats nothing not even salad anymore.... When I put the food next to him he turns away and often just runs off... because of this he isnt pooping anymore either, he is still weeing a little but that has a slight orange/yellow colour to it....
Has he stopped eating because he wants to mate?? If so how long will it go on for?
What can I do to get some food in him? im worried he is not getting enough calcium and vitamins as he is not eating his crickets
Could it be brumation?
Ive not been through a mating season with a dragon before and dont know what the normal behaviour is like and how long it will last
and im really worried
He is about 8/9 months old
There is uvb tube lighting
A basking spot light
Temps are 100-105f hottest, 75f coolest
The humidity level is good
The flooring is lino
Please help!!
Thank you
