Hello everyone,
I have two bearded dragons, one is 7 months old and the other is about 2 months old. The baby (Token) is perfectly fine, eating 20-30 crickets a day and veggies once or twice a week. The juvenile (Butters) however has started to slow down drastically on his appetite. I have been charting both of their weights since I got them. Exactly 2 weeks ago Butters weighed 57 grams and was eating fine. Since about then he has barely eaten anything (a few pieces of kale every couple days), and today he weighed in at 51 grams. I thought he might be dehydrated, so I filled up the sink about a half inch and put him in there, and he drank a decent amount of water. I then tried to feed him, and he wouldn't eat anything. I'm getting worried, however his behavior hasn't changed. He still stays alert in his basking spot most of the day and runs around a decent bit. Should I be worried, and is there anything I should be doing?
Also I wanted to mention they are in separate enclosures, both basking spots are between 90 and 95 degrees, and I mist them once a day.
Thanks in advance!
