We first off you should check the cage temperature should range from 75 to 105, 105 being the hottest under the basking light: and the coldest at the other end of the tank. This allows the baby to escape the heat when it鈥檚 to hot. Also keep the night red light on at night, babies need a night-time temperature of around 70-75. I would take the house out and replace with a place he can be perched at. Babies love to climb and feel most safe when their above the ground. That should solve the problem. Another thing to think about is the diet and proper water amounts. Babies should have 10-12 pinheads daily with 2-3 full body sprays. Keep water readily available and easy to see. Change up the diet every other day or so, 2 days crickets and 1 day veggies ect.. Make sure that the crickets and veggies are dust with vitamins. Back to the light if should be a UV/ bulb a least 100watts for his size. He should be able to come within 6-8 inches of the bulb. He shouldn鈥檛 be sick at that age depending on the care you鈥檙e giving him. Spraying him should bring him back around. It sounds like it me be to hot in or to cold in the cage. Try to keep the temperatures I mentioned and he should become more active. Remember one end hot the other slightly colder and a place to bask. Good luck if the problem seems to continue ask another question or contact me and ill resolve the problem

When he acts in a way that is no normal for him. or he has an abnormal physical appearance
I don't have a specific answer for you but I'm going to a reptile show this weekend and if you look on this website there are numerous links for vendors of Bearded Dragons and they might be able to help you. I know my bearded isn't very active but he runs around like mad when he's chasing crickets.

Your temperatures need to be checked.
105F in the hot spot is needed to help your dragon digest it's meals. Proper UVB light is needed for utilizing it's nutrients.
Bearded dragons are light sensitive. No lights at night. That can disturb the sleeping pattern. Think about nature. Do they have lights on at night? As long as your temperatures don't fall under 65F you are fine. It is normal for temperatures to fall at night, and healthy.
Make sure you have a digital probe thermometer to accurately measure your temperatures. You can even find them cheap.
I have a beared dragon and this did happen with mine. She would just lay there all day and all night not doing anything but eating. I think it was just a phase but this is how I pulled her out of it. A: put in a black heat light at night. B: Feed it vegtables and fruits. C: Make sure it is full. D: I had thought mine was just bored so I would hold her every day and that also seemed to help. Good luck.
