I plan to get an adult bearded dragon soon, but I have a few questions about feeding. I've looked at lots of bearded dragon care sites and all of them say different things about diet, some say to feed insects to adult dragons daily others say to offer insects only 2 or 3 times a week and I'm not sure which to follow. My other question is, how much plant matter should I be giving the dragon per feeding?

For an adult, you can offer bugs daily or every other day. In general it just kind of depends on how much he is eating and what your schedule is. Adult dragons should be eating mostly veges, about 80% or so of their diet. Offer a fresh salad daily with 2-3 items from this list http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html and offer staple feeders like dubia roaches or crickets to account for the remaining 20% or so of the diet.

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!
