Hey everyone,
our bearded dragon is about 1,5 years old and become extremely lethargic. First of all, he has never been a good eater - ever. We have always included tomatoes, apples, kale, lettuce in his diet with superworms and crickets. He used to rampage through those worms and eat 10 + big ones per meal. Now, however, he doesn't eat anything and just lies in the corner. When we try to make him eat, it seems as if his tongue cannot shoot out anymore. He tries to grab the worm/cricket with his tongue, but fails and then doesn't want to anymore.

Any recommendations? We will have to look for a vet if he doesn't turn around soon.

His cage is big - 75 gallons. Temperatures are great, and we just replaced a the uvb light a month ago. It really seems to be his tongue I wonder if a superworm bit him right there..

Find a vet now. There is no turning a corner at this point.
When a reptile shows itself to be this ill or out of it, things are way worse than they appear.

Tomatoes arent good to feed regularly, they have a very high acidic content which is harmfull to beardies.
Also Apple is a known appetite suppresant for beardies. Which can be why he doesnt have a big appetite.
Kale binds calcium, thus is not a good staple green to feed.

Try replacing his greens with mustard, collards, endive, turnip greens. You can add bell peppers and butternut is a good staple veggie.
Have you ever checked out this site for good greens and veggies?

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. 😔
