Hi I am new to both the forums and bearded dragons! I adopted a 2 year old female bearded dragon, because her owners were moving to an apartment that would not allow reptiles.
I have had her since thursday and she has not eaten anything. Her previous owners fed her romaine lettuce, dubia roaches, and superworms. I have offered all of those, but she does not want to eat, even after 5 days of settling in. The previous owners did not have a UVB bulb with her tank,so I immediately bought one of those. She is currently in loose reptisand, although I wish to change that to a reptile matt or something similar. Currently she is in a small tank (30"Lx12"Wx12"H) and I am in the process of looking for a larger tank. The temps on the hot side are 100F (though she never goes to bask on that side) and 85 or 90 on the cool side.
I threw a large dubia roach in her tank, and it either escaped somehow, or she ate it. She is very lethargic and moves once every 4 hours, is this normal?
