my beardie not ate proper for about 2 weeks now ,, im getting a bit worried , ive been giving spike regular baths and hes been doin his business in the bath as usual but hes just not interested in any food even his favourite super morios ,, hes been a little inactive to seems to be in his hide alot sleeping , ive asked about brumation but apparantley they dont do this till winter and hes to young at 10mnths...
ive been told to buy this powder stuff for £10 that dissolves in a bath and stimulates feeding and gives him a bit of a boost...
hes been a little more avtive today though hes out an about but still not eating proper...

I once had a dragon start brumating mid summer, so there are always exceptions to they only brumate in the winter. 

Your dragon may also just be getting bored with his food, try picking up some crickets, a different worm, if you have a friend with roaches try that too.  My boy Duke used to go on hunger strikes so i would have to switch around a bit.

And get a fecal done if you haven't.

Ive now changed my UVB to a reptisun 10.0 as i was told he wasn't eating and acting lathargic because o a lack of UVB ,,
I have seen a big improvement in his behaviour , he's not started eating yet but he is a lot more active and starting to be his usual nosy self , so fingers crossed he will start eating soon i will keep you up to date ..

thanks  Smiley
