vomiting?

Nearly every time my beardie drinks water, she violently vomits it back up. She then turns white for a few minutes from the aftershock, but goes about her regular business. I don't know what to do! I didn't even know beardies could vomit until mine did! I've been giving her baths so that she has some sort of water in her system. She's eating fine and acting happy. WTF???

It's been going on a while, so I've been careful to give her only a small amout of water at a time, but when I bath her, she goes and drinks the water and is vomiting a few minutes later.

She eats powdered crix, romain lettuce, sometimes cucumbers, other greens, beardie pellets, and occasionally mealworms. Her tank is a bit small, but I'm about to move her to a larger one (over twice the size). The heat and UV are fine.

She's also been unusually active recently. I know it's brumation time, and my other beardie is as slow as a slug. She's constantly trying to claw her way out of the cage, and when I do let her out, she just stays in one place.

Any knowledge as to what might be wrong?

drinking too much water can cause vomitting. Usualy only do it if they are dehidrated. So if you're giving water regularly I don't know why it would be drinking so much in the tub.

honestly you know what, my bearded dragon does the same thing, but after it eats mealworms:S..

i don't know what that means??

Hello,

Are you giving water with a dropper or is she drinking on her own? Sometimes if they drink too fast they can somewhat choke on it, or aspirate some causing them to gag or vomit it up somewhat.

Thanks everyone. I'll get a slower supply of water to her with a dropper. How often do you think I should give her water? The dropper only holds about 5-7 mL of water.

Hello,

How is she doing today? You can just give water once or maybe twice daily. The 5-7 ml dropper is perfectly fine, that is plenty.
I hope she is doing better now.
