Hello everyone,
I got my second bearded dragon on November 28th of 2014. When i got him/her they were about 4 1/2 inches long, and currently they are a little under 8 inches long. When i first got the little one they were very very active and always running around the cage with a lot of energy. from day one i have had issues getting them to eat more than 2 or 3 crickets a day. A couple weeks ago he started to dull due to shedding and it seemed as though they had a rough shed because it took a "shed bath" formula to get it off. So, i'm assuming stress from that plays a huge part in the lack of appetite, but i can't seem to get his appetite back and it has been 3 days since he quit shedding. He is a little lethargic but not to the point where he isn't able to keep his head up or anything like that, just looks skinny from not eating and i don't know if he is sick or what?? His basking side since i got him was at about 85-95, but i today i bought a heat emitter that bumped it up to about 100-105, i don't know if that will help or if anyone thinks that is the reason that maybe he isn't eating? any advice on how to get him to eat or if i am doing something wrong would be wonderful, any further questions please let me know. It has been about 2 weeks and all he has ate was 1 meal worm, and 1 wax worm
