Um, my beardie is a male named Jake and he is about a foot to 14 inches long. He has been very lethargic lately and he has been loosing a lot of weight and isn't eating very much. He is about 9 months old. He runs into walls a lot and when he is on my arm he likes to try and run off, like he doesn't see that its the end of my arm (luckily I have caught him every time he has tried.) He eats maybe 10-12 large crickets a day, refuses to eat his greens, but LOVES baby food and wax worms. He'll eat about 12-15 wax worms in a sitting and will eat a lot of baby food. I have lost a beardie before, and don't want to go back. He DOES have a UVB light, but my other didn't. He is showing the same signs now, besides the running into random things and running off my arm. My old beardie, Mushu, had bone disease, and lack of a UVB source and calcium deficiency. Mushu lost a lot of weight, started closing his eyes more, and was very lethargic. He poops regularly (it smells HORRIBLE!) and sheds a lot more than Mushu ever did. Since I've had him (three months) he has shed 3 times, but Mushu only shed once in the 4 months I had him. Right now he's cuddled up next to my pudding container right next to me (he had run into that too and decided that he was comfy enough to take a nap)
Please guys, I need help. I don't know whats happening!
