bearded dragon? They go through MASSIVE phases of not eating. Mine will go for like a week without even sniffing his food. But then one day *womf* all mealies gone in 5 seconds :P

Might be too hot, may just not be hungry, may be starting to shed, any number of rreasons.

If you're realyl worried, weigh him. If he looses more than 30% of his body weight, take him to the vets . Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much.

What do you use as a staple?

hey sparrowhawk. im assuming bowser is on crickets. if so and he aint eating try hoppers. mine wont eat crickets for some stranger reason but wolfs down the hoppers.
also you can try waxworm. i dont use them as main diet but they are quite fatty so even if 1 or 2 or eaten should put a bit of wait on. hope this helps

lol. I wouldnt worry too much, mines goes through phases of not eating so i wouldnt worry till you find him dead...then still dont worry because its too late then. But dont worry that WONT happen!! You could try some vegetables and bright fruit if he also eats that kind of stuff for a while, i tend to do that. Or as Brookestar said hoppers and the likes of that.
