Baby beardie sudden eye problem

Not open for further replies.
Up until yesterday, my baby (2.5 months) was doing well after a rough start with food. She has been loving her roaches and grew 1.25 inches and has now started her very first shed since I got her 4 weeks ago! Last night, she was fine. A friend got her out to hold her and the hold seemed ok....maybe a bit of pressure on the belly, but couldn't quite tell. Today, my beardie has barely opened her eyes. One she will open more, but one remains closed almost permanently. When she has opened it, it looked normal from what I could tell. She ate breakfast and just ate dinner (roaches) but has been lethargic today. Is this possibly due to shedding? Something else? What should I do?? Thanks!

No , that's not related to shedding.

I'd have reptile vet examine your little hatchling is she's still like this and not behaving normally today.
May have been injured internally by being squeezed too hard. The little ones are incredibly delicate and very easy injure.

No more friends handling her from now until she's bigger and more robust.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
