We have 4 central bearded dragon juveniles in 2 enclosures which are both approx 900hx600w. 40 deg basking, 10 uvb light, feeding crickets daily dusted with calc powder, crickets are fed beardie pellets and veges. We always offer veges too. We had some feeding issues with the smallest guy so we swapped the pairs around and now he's doing well but his cage mate, the biggest guy is off his food and was suffering from the runs. He is shedding a bit but its been about a week now and I am starting to have concerns. He is moving around ok and is alert but looks like he has lost weight. I have started to syringe feed him with mashed pellets in apple juice as he won't even take a cricket hand fed. Time for the vet or any other ideas?
 
I would be taking him to a vet to get checked out.
I had a similar situation with a 6 mth old female that went off her food and i found her dead 1 morning in the enclosure. She had been about 2 weeks off her food.
 
Ok I would feel pretty bad if that happened. I will take it in ASAP
