Hi everyone,

I am a new bearded dragon mom. I’ve had Irene for about a week and a half. She has been eating lots and seems to be adjusting and adapting well and looking more and more comfortable every day. Yesterday I noticed her shedding a lot which I didn’t think anything of it because it’s normal. However today I noticed she can’t open one eye. It almost looks like she’s sleeping. Her legs are completely shut. It almost could look like she has a piece of shedding in her eye. Is that normal? Petsmart said to put a warm compress on her eye but she is still getting used to me and still a little bit skittish so I don’t know how that would work… She ate all her crickets today so nothing out of the normal.

How can I help her?

Hi there, probably got a piece of shed in there which may work itself out but you can get plain saline to gently try to wash it out.

Thank you! That’s what I was wondering. How long is it not a to be in there? I did try saline but she didn’t like it. It’s probably been in there for 4 days now.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
