Okay, Thank you Karrie! I will update again once we have the bloodwork results.

Called the vet, they can get her in tomorrow. It takes 3-5 days to get results. I also wanted to ask, I went ahead and bought her a T5 HO lamp and bulb, and swapped the T8 for it today. I have the T5 on top of the screen, but it's only half that actually has screen under it, the other half is...

Update: Took a stool sample and she's negative for parasites. She still isn't doing anything, she's on her hammock 24/7. She will move herself around on her hammock in and out of her basking spot. She still has zero appetite. I've been taking her outside daily for uvb in addition to what she...

Yeah we don't treat our backyard, I don't want my pup around the chemicals. Vivi is the strangest beardie, I've offerred her dandelions several times and she either bites it then spits it out or ignores it. She's been a picky eater since we got her. She also doesn't like strawberries and refuses...

Yes, she moves from her basking spot to her hide without difficulty. She really doesn't run around anymore when we take her out of her tank, but I'm guessing that has more to do with her lack of energy because she isn't eating enough. I took her outside yesterday. She seems to get really...

I'll definitely try that tomorrow. Thanks so much for your help Karrie ?

I'll definitely make sure I post any labs the vet has done. And keep an eye out for more info on MBD. Can you give me an idea of how much I should be trying to get her to eat when I syringe feed her? She makes an enormous mess everytime I feed her, so I've just been filing the syringe up and...

No, she doesn't really flinch when you touch it. She doesn't seem to mind it being messed with at all. She flinches ocassionally when I reach in to pet her, but it seems more like she's either surprised or irritated I'm touching her. And it's her head that flinches when that happens, not the...

Yes when we first got her we had a coil bulb, I changed it out in December to the one she has now. So she had it maybe 2 months with us. I don't know what lighting she had prior to that. I guess my biggest immediate concern is she still isn't interested in eating. She doesn't even want any...

Basking temps are 98-105 taken with digital probe gun thing. There's a plastic cover on the top and sides of the light, but not on the bulb itself. Let me take a pic and you can tell me if its good or if I need to change it.
