Do you feed your bearded dragon with the light on?
If your bearded dragons lights are turned off, then he/she will think its night time, and begin to shut down and go to sleep. Put a few (about 4-5) locusts or crickets into his/hers vivarium EVERY OTHER morning (with the light on) and they will catch them by evening, unless they aren't hungry, and that will be fine for them. On the mornings where you aren't giving your beardie any live food, give them some suitable vegetables dusted with a calcium supplement, or some specially certified beardie food (that isn't alive). if you need any tips or some advice on your bearded dragons lighting/heating, just contact me. :D
