I have two bearded dragons, Max who is coming up to around 2 now. Ive had him since he is 8 weeks old. He is a citrus x german giant.
And I also have his dad, Reggie. Who is around 3+ but I cant be sure of that. Reggie is a german giant.
This is Reggie;
He is on...well the rather large side. He was that size when I got him. I got him from the major reptile shop in my area.
The prob is...well...he doesnt do anything. When I get him out the viv he runs round around the floor explores etc. But when inside he sleeps for about 22 hours a day :-\
He is in a 4 foot viv, with a 30W UVB and a ceramic heater. These are what came in the set up from the reptile shop. He gets about 12 hours of light a day and I turn the UVB off during the night. The temp in there is around 87-90.
He goes absolute crazy for meal worms and locusts. I know they shouldnt have mealworms but without these he doesnt seem to want to get up, the give him alot of energy.
He will only eat his green if I pick him up and put him in front of them. He has a varied green diet of kale, romain, watercress and others.
All im thinking is that its too hot in there? and maybe a change of enviroment in his tank to keep him occupied? as at the moment all he does is sleep in like a cave which is a bit of cork bark laying down.
Any help is appreciated!
