Question
I have 2 bearded dragons male and female.  the male has a loss of appetite.  i have gotten all kinds of advice as to the reason, such as poor lighting, temperature not high enough, winter shut down, and also different advice on what to feed them.  can u help?

Answer
Hello, th one thing you haven't mentioned is if they are house together or not. If they are, separate them. If not, give your vet a call and make an appointment. If bearded dragons are together it can cause stress with the two and may cause the loss of appetite.

Expertise

I can answer every question towards the bearded dragon except for questions that deal with sickness and disease. I can answer questions on heating and UV rays, the questions pertaining to food, habitat, bedding, breeding, egg/hatchling care, nature, and attitude are my best. Last, I cannot help you with at home sickness meds, always find a vet within your area. I can answer questions regarding body language and movement. I will try to help you to the best of my ability.

Experience

I have owned 7 bearded dragons. For 6 straight years, I have had my first male and female that i have been raising. Raising my male and female have been such an experience! Breeding them was also a great experience! After my male passed, it made me realize that raising them was one of the best experiences of my life and still currently is.

Education/Credentials
I have no educational cedentials, but i have constant history of bearded dragon research.
