Hi, My beardie is over 9 years old. I have had him since he was a baby. I currently live in Arizona where I moved a year and a half ago. About 2 months ago my Beardie made it down here by my parents driving down. He acted somewhat normal for a couple weeks but in the last month and a half he hasn't been eating a whole lot and he hasn't been pooping at all. He has been shedding in this amount of time and have noticed in the past that when he does he doesn't eat as much but normally still poops. What do you think could be wrong. I read something about a semi hibernation stage and he does show a lot of the effects of that, staying in the cooler side of the cage, hiding under a log, and the lack of eating much. The whole not pooping thing has be a bit worried though.

What could be the problem.

Hello,

Has he ever brumated before?
How do his fatpads look right now, are they sunken in or raised up? Has he maintained his weight?
How long has this been going on for now?
This is the time of year that they will brumate, if they are going to most likely. Are you using a UVB flourescent tube light? If so, what brand are you using, & how old is it?
Have you been supplementing calcium 3 times a week normally?
They can slow down & not poop very much either especially if he is not eating much right now.
Can you post a picture of your dragon for us? Not too many get to age 9. :D

My beardie has medication to help him with his bowel movements. I would find a reptile specialist in your area and suggest it. There is a bananna flavor and watermelon. Mine likes the bananna. It's a liquid.

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.
