Should I go to the vet??

[MushuDaBeardie]

My bearded dragon Mushu just woke up from brumation about 1 month ago. And he still isn’t eating properly. I can tell he’s hungry but he just acts lazy to get it. I really have to try and try to get him to eat... and even then he runs away trying to crawl on his rocks. I don’t know how much longer to let this go on before I take him to the vet. Hoping for some advice on this. He barely eats!

Mine also woke up about a month ago. Same thing, did not want to eat. Finally he snapped out of it, once there were a few nice days to get him outside. He can still sleep through a few days & fall back into the not eating thing. Last night he was dying to get out & run around. Everyday is different, maybe it’s time for a bath & new bulbs.

Hello,

They can sometimes take awhile to snap out of their slown down states. Have you changed
his UVB lighting to be sure it is optimal & double checked his temperatures for him?
You could try giving some oral fluids to be sure he is hydrated. Has he gone to the bathroom
since he came out of brumation?
How is his body weight, is he maintaining or losing weight?

His body weight has stayed at 375 and he was 385 when he went into brumation. He poops sometimes irregularly sometimes missing days. I give him fluids and he is hydrated. His heat bulb is brand new! and his UVB is maybe 2 months old as I turned it off during his brumation so I didn't waste its life. I just don't know what a deciding factor will be to go to the vet or not. I am really worried about him as he won't even eat veggies at all and barely bugs and he's 1 year old!
