I have a baby or juvenile (Not sure ><) Bearded Dragon for about a month now, he hasn't shed yet and was eating about 10-20 crickets at day with a couple bites out of his veggies (Collard Greens) For 3 days now he has just been sleeping only basking for about 30 minutes? Then sleeps the rest of the day. Basking Temp is 115 Hot side is 90 Cool Side is 80. Today he just stopped eating so now I'm a bit worried. Should I take him to the vet or what? D:

5.ReptiGLO 10.0 the tubes (I can't find Reptisun anywhere and my mom doesn't like buying off the internet.) I hope the ReptiGLO 10.0 will work then, the one I distrust the most is a Zilla UV source. Personally I would also recommend a Powersun 160 watt but, your enclosure is far to small to be pumping in that much UV also using a MVB has to be in agreement to the dragon as well. Meaning some dragon react poorly to the MVB where some do well.
6.2weeks
7.10 inches. Proper distance from a Reptisun 10.0 would be 6-8 inches I am supposing this should be the same for the ReptiGLO.

When was the last poop?

Today when I put the new carpet in, and thanks for all the info! But could it perhaps be that I wake him up to early? I turn the lights on at 7 am(When I go to school) and then turn them off at 9 pm. Usually I'll feed him at 2 pm, but he is sleeping at that time. Then I tried again at 4 pm today and he ate like a beast. So could it be that I am turning the lights on to early or turning them off to late?

I turn my dragons lights on about 4:45 am Monday - Thursday and as early as I can on my days off from work usually about 7am on the weekends. Lights out for my little ones is around 7pm on the days I work and 8pm on my days off. I have never had a choice but, to feed my dragons at about 5:30am on the days I work. I figured this was gonna be a better alternative then to leave them hungry through out the day. I have never had a lizard just not eat without something else being the reason. Ifrit had his parasite issue which is better now. The rest have never had any issues what so ever. I would still like an answer to the question of when the last poop was? About how many crickets does your little eat in a days time?
