Bearded dragon problem?

Most reptiles like other animals get to a feeding timetable. Once they are used to being fed at a certain time they expect it everyday. My dog always asks me at 8am and 5pm to feed him, everyday without fail. Any other time and he is not interested unless he actually feels hungry.

Reptiles will eat when they are hungry providing the food is there. I wouldn't worry about it this time because he will probably eat them when he gets hungry again but if this continues and he doesn't eat for a few days tell a vet or phone a reptile shop who will be able to help.

Another reason which someone else highlighted on is if the temperature is correct and other factors like that. It is also possible that it has gone into 'hibernation' where it thinks there is a low amount of food available and to conserve energy it effective 'shuts down' the body. This can also happens when the tank is too cold. Don't worry it will wake up from it once it is warm enough etc.

As for the waxworms i wouldnt chance feeding them when it is soo young. Don't worry though just make sure you follow advice given to you from where-ever you got it.

For clipping nails of a bearded dragon...just clip them like normal making sure you don't catch the quick (blood vessel in nail - if you didn't know). Just hold him (or another person) and cut it with a normal nail clipper. Simple as.

*If you catch the quick then just dab with a tissue or something wet to stem the bleeding.

Whatever you do, do NOT use wax worms. They have a very poor calcium to phosphorus ratio (more phosphorus than calcium), which can contribute to metabolic bone disease. This isn't very likely to happen to your beardie, as she's older, but if she isn't full-grown, it can happen. Silkworms are excellent, and you can always feed her giant meal worms (you may need to cut off their heads to prevent impaction if she's REALLY undersized), but you should also dust everything with calcium powder (RepCal's is excellent, and make sure it contains vitamin D3). You should also use RepCal's Herptivite (a multivitamin). UVA lighting is also critical, as it stimulates appetite, and you should have a full-spectrum UVA/UVB setup anyway. There really isn't a way to tame her without stressing her out. You basically just have to grab her (gently but firmly) around her midsection, so she can't bite you, and pet her tail every day for about a month. She may never LIKE being petted, but at least she shouldn't be aggressive towards you after that.

If he is otherwise healthy, I would say he may just not be hungry. As long as he is warm and happy, I wouldnt worry about it. Now, if he is still not eating tomorrow I would call a vet to get their opinion.

As for the nails, I use an emery board (nail file) on my Water Dragon. You can also place his food dish on a brick, as he climbs in and out he is dulling the claws. I have also purchased some perch covers for birds with the sand paper on them for him to climb on (I slit them and place them over his branches and secure with some duct tape)

Works like a charm.

Waxworms are fatty, so he might have just been full on those. Or you spoiled him with the waxies and he don't want nasty ole crickets any more! lol

Just a side note, don't leave crix in his enclosure with him, as they will chew on him and cause sores and stress him out.

another thing is, waxworms are a real treat to beardies. if you feed them too many they'll get used to the taste of them and not want crickets.

well u dont neccesarially clip beardies nails and he is probably nervous or maybe does not want to eat. and what size crickets are they also he should not be eating waxworms yet.

Is he staying warm enough? Is there a cold draft? Is he wheezing or any mucus discard from his nose? He could have a cold.

I am not an expert in reptile illness. But I would defiantly make sure he is keeping warm enough. They don't eat when its cold, as they cannot digest their food.

well do u have a heat lamp and/or a heat pad he just mite be cold and you should also feed him baby mice

have you been giving him fruit and veg as well?

do you spray him with water?

does he have water to lay in?

Does he have a light?

do you only have the one?
