Stitch, my 6-month-old Beardie, has been slowly decreasing his appetite and I'm not sure what to do!

At first, he was ravenous, and ate everything. But he was never really interested in his salads, only live prey.

Then he stopped eating worms, and would only eat crickets.

Then he slowed down on his crickets, but was obsessed with Dubia roaches.

Now he will only eat a couple roaches every time I feed him.

What do I do???

Busy sleeping more? Both of mine are in brumation. All they do is sleep. I usually wake them once every week or two tosee if they want any water. other than that they're down for the winter. I miss them.

It would be strange if a 6 month old was brumating, but not unheard of. Can you check your temperatures again and tell us what they are? Do you provide night time heating? Also, what lighting do you have and how old is it?

The basking temperature is around 100, the rest of the tank is around 80 something. And yes, I have a ceramic light for heat during the night.

I have the two fixtures for heating, the ceramic and basking spot, as well as a long UV-B light across the tank.
