My bearded dragon is sluggish and sleeping. Is he sick or brumating?

Question

I have a bearded dragon and yesterday he was very sluggish until I fed him and today he's sleeping and when he woke up I fed him crickets but now he is going back to sleep. Could he be going into brumation or is he sick? Pet's info: Reptile | Bearded Dragon

Thanks for reaching out about Stitch. If your environmental temperatures are consistent, brumation is not the cause. Bearded dragons need to kept in temperatures of 80-100 degrees during the day, but night temperatures should not drop below 60. A diet limited in crickets can lead to dietary deficiencies such as low protein, low calcium and other minerals lacking. A sick reptile should be examined by a reptile-wavy veterinarian for a diagnosis and treatment plan. Good luck.
