Hey everyone. I have a male bearded dragon who has just recently come out of brumation. He has lost weight during his brumation period. I took him to a reptile vet to have a physical and a fecal done just prior to his brumation period. The vet gave him a clean bill of health both physically and internally (was parasite free). Since his emergence from his long sleep I have been offering him everything, crickets, mealworms, superworms, hornworms and he is showing zero interest in all of them. He is set up in a 4 foot by 2 foot enclosure. His bask stays at a constant of 110 degrees (measured with a temp gun), warm end is 80 degrees and cool end is 75. My subsrate is a mixture of top soil, sand and vermiculate which i keep moistened (50% humidity). He is very alert, and moving around his enclosure, I have taken him out once to observe him and he ran around and even bobbed his head a few times. I feel like my husbandry is good, however he is not eating. I guess my question is...will bearded dragons not eat right away after brumation? does it take a week or two before they will get back into good eating habits? I'm very concerned about him...should i get another fecal done?...any suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
