He has not pooped for two weeks since he stopped eating. He had two large stools and neither smelled. But when he takes his next, I will have them check it. He does dig. What should I offer him to dig in? I’m nervous about substrates. I will try to do some research on my own. Sorry to keep...

I would say ever so slight bumps. Can females have any deviation there? If Kronk is indeed a female, what does that mean about his/her behavior? Could he/she stop eating for a reason that is normal?

[ I’ve tried reading up on sexing a bearded dragon but it’s still confusing looking at Kronk. She said his/her hemipenal bulges were very small compared to her male dragon’s.

I took Kronk to a vet yesterday. I didn’t get much value out of it. She suggested I see a specialist at the state’s vet school. I’m not sure I will do that. She agreed that it seems unlikely that it is a coincidence that he has stopped eating at the same time he stopped eating last year. And...

Thanks. Would you advise we not relocate him to the larger tank until we figure out what is wrong? I would imagine that would only stress him out more.

No extra lights at night. I typically take him out once a day to sit by me. My son is in his room a lot and interacts with him frequently. He topped out at 250 g and last weight was 244 g about a week ago.

He has not pooped for about a week or so. Last poop was large and normal. I did not recall a bad smell. He definitely had parasites last summer because the poop smell was awful, so I will recognize that as a sign moving forward. I have him in a bath right now and can't get him to drink any...

Hi all, Believe it or not, Kronk survived 9 months of not eating on his own. He finally emerged from 3 months of brumation and began eating superworms in February 2021. It remained the only thing he would eat, minus a Dubia here and there and minor force feeds of greens. Unfortunately, he has...

Yes, no cover on the UVB. I can try raising the MVB higher to get the basking spot cooler to see if that helps him bask. Thanks.

Yes, hydrating once a week in a bath; he drinks each time. Urate was a bit orange, and has been for as long as I can recall. In fact, it looked like he had bits of the calcium sand we used to keep him in his urate. We took him out of that substrate after the first vet visit as she said it was...

@Drache613 @KarrieRee @Claudiusx @AHBD Hi all, I need advice again. Kronk is still alive. I took the advice that he was brumating and stopped force feeding him in late September. He has not eaten since. He has been inactive and disinterested in food and most contact these past 3 months. In late...

Thank you for the advice on encouraging greens consumption and for continued checkups on Kronk. He continues his hunger strike and remains inactive. We force feed about 10 BSFL, a few large meal worms and an occasional dubia every 4 days but I do wonder if we should stop that now. If I knew what...

I appreciate the feedback on the bloodwork. This has been an agonizing journey to understand a species I am so unqualified to care for. I’m so confused why a reptile vet would tell me his blood was “toxic” and indicated a massive bacterial infection when no one else sees those indicators. But we...

As suspected, there was another set of labs. Above is the results of his CBC. If the bloodwork provides any more answers, please let me know. Otherwise, we will stay the course and hope he turns around soon. Thanks!
