Sunken fat pads

Status
Not open for further replies.
I have a almost 3 year old female bearded dragon who is currently laying and her fat pads have been sunken in for weeks. I give her baths all the time and she drinks every once in a while but they are still sunken in. She’s very chunky, a little over a pound so I know she isn’t too skinny or malnourished. what can I do? Should I worry?

Hi there,

I agree, pics would help.

If you think shes chunky, I wouldnt really worry about her fat pads. Or are you concerned she isnt hydrated well enough?

What does her daily diet look like with quantities.
Make sure she is getting extra calcium if shes laying.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
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!
