    Bearded dragon not eating. Is it normal?

    Hey, my bearded dragon, Freddie, just woke up from a brumation that lasted for around 4 months (it was his first). He was eating for about week and a half now, even did a poop. But all of the sudden he stopped three days ago and is avoiding the basking spot again. Is it normal? Should I be worried?

Not interested in her Dubia roaches (staple bug), meal worms (treats), OR her greens (collard + mustard), which she used to enjoy! The ONLY thing she seems to go after now are hornworms...

    Weird Behavior

    My beardie has been acting a little weird lately. About a month ago he had a huge shed, which we all know changes their hunger level and their behavior. After that he has been in his cave for long times each day. From about the morning to 3-5 (when I feed him and bring him outside). He also...
