Wont eat !

[LovableBeardie23]

My beardie hasnt ate for two days now i always leave him a fresh bowl of salad and he hasnt touched that he also hasnt ate any insects which is my main worry because he is still growing.He looks hungry because he licks his tank. His beard is also black which is unusual because it is never normally like this. He is also doing alot of glass dancing and hasnt properly basked for about two days either. When i take him out because i thought maybe he is bored he just runs straight back to his tank. Please help i am worried that he is going to get ill.

Black beard means stress or pain are you feeding him lettuce? that's bad and are the insects meal worms? also bad i don't know what glass dancing is mine does it i just take him out for a while, also are the temps good in his tank cool side warm side good?

 

[LovableBeardie23]

No i never give him lettuce asi know its no good for them he does have mealworms but his main insects are locust. Why wont he eat them ? The temps are fine its 105 at the hot end and at the cool it is 75.

 

[Speedy01]

cool side should be 75 to 85 so you got that right if he is above 12 months he need mostly plants below 12 months it mostly bugs i cant think of anything else

Yes he's below 12 months.I'll see what he's like tomorrow. Thanks.

My Beardie is doing the same thing! He is a little over a year now but he stays in his hide all day hasn't been basking and won't eat roaches, crickets, or his greens. Been this way for about 3 weeks. He has always been an excellant eater so I don't know what the problem is? Brumation should be over shouldn't it. We did get a new baby beardie so I know it will change his behavior somewhat but not to the point where he wont eat at all. No they aren't housed together.
