6 Month Old Stops Growing/Brumation?

[Emily]

My juvenile is 6 months old, and he's 16.5 inches long, nose to tail. He's been this length for over a month, but he's as healthy and active as ever.
He used to eat a TON of food, but now he only wants 4-5 crickets a day and a little vegetables. His temps are 100 for basking, 85 for cool side. Most of the time he's always "digging" trying to find a place to hide and sleep during the day.
Could he be in an early brumation period and his growth is stunted? I know that's unlikely since he's not sexually matured just yet, but I can't find any solution.

6 Mnths is a bit too early for brumation or even semi brumation, they start around 10 Mnths (The ones that do early and are exceptions) and most only after 1 year of age.

Have you had a fecal done recently?
And try upping your basking temps, for beardies between 0-12 months 105-110 is more suitable. If higher temps doesnt do the trick, Id get a vet checkup done to rule out parasites

I agree with what P said

Okay, yeah I figured he's too young for Brumation. I have medicine for parasites since when he was a baby he had a few problems. I'll start giving him meds. Hopefully that'll do the trick for him. Thank you And @drgnfly2265: Your beardies are freakin adorable.

Be carefull, the meds you have was for a specific parasite and for when he was smaller. Meds are given according to weight so i recon the dosage will have to be adjusted. If youre not sure on his weight or dosage you can easilly over or even UNDDER dose. Both arent a god idea

I would still have a fecal done, most vets will do it without you having to take the beardie in for a checkup which saves money.
Also get the temps right, im sure this will have a positive effect also
