Hi there, I have a six month old beardie...we've had him for 6 weeks(ish)... he used to eat savagely...I'd put the clear container with the crickets inside his terrarium and he'd go nuts...he'd eat crazy amounts of meal worms and a lot of greens.... several days ago I noticed his appetite significantly decreased...he had just finished shedding his hands and tail.
His terrarium was kept around 90...(couldn't get it to go higher)...I just invested in a higher wattage bulb to bring it closer to 100 degrees.... he was getting calcium through the crickets (fed them with calcium laced food) and sprinkled it on his greens each day.
He's had one loose stool (four days ago, but has had several normal ones since)...his urine output is good (the white stuff).....
He's been more agitated recently (chasing his shadow and scratching at the glass)...I covered the back (from the inside) and put more fake plants on the sides....it's reduced his anxiousness a bit but not entirely.
I'm trying to avoid a vet so soon....any ideas? Am I missing something? Why is his appetite almost nil?
