Hello,

This can happen, unfortunately. Were the crickets possibly too large for her?
Do you feed her in her tank or do you place them in a plastic bin to feed her? Try just
putting a few out for her at a time, so it doesn't overwhelm her. I know she's an adult,
but maybe she might prefer smaller crickets, but I'm just guessing.
Does she interact with you outside of feeding times with you?

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
