Is the basking spot warmer than 30 degrees?

 

[SteveNT]

from your last line... I'd say it's hot and horny.

get the basking spot up to 40+.

does it have uv light? and do you use calcium to dust it's food?

View attachment 238423 definately up the temps.. i'd also change the diet. Peas/corn and brocolil shouldn't be fed all the time. Try changing to dandelion greens and flowers, endive,button squash, nusturtium flowers and leaves, rose petals, capsicum, rosemary, lavander, rocket, basil

Basking spot needs to be 40 give or take 1-2 degrees! A healthy beardie should be pooing every day. Try soaking it in a warm bath at about 33-34 degrees for at least 10-15 minutes or more if it can be calm enough. Bath it every 2 days, too often can dry out their natural oils. ajandj's list of greens is spot on just peel the capsicum and do not give seeds. My 2 youngens love rocket, endive and sweet potatoe(grated), they just about knock me out of the way to get at it. Make sure it is getting calcium dust on one feed of crickets a day about 4-5 time a week and vitamins on at least one feed a week and propper UVB is a must, try getting it out in the sun for 20 mins a day ensuring that it does not over heat and things will improve.
