Hello -
We have a beardie, Spike, who is at least 14 years old...probably older. We got her at an unknown age but we've had her 14 years -- she's potentially 16-17. The last week, Spike has been lethargic and her movements are shaky. She also keeps her head down a lot. Last weekend she was shaky but active and eating. We got her crickets last night and she has no interest in them or her fruit/veggies (which isn't surprising because she's always eaten them with disdain anyway :lol: ). We gave her some water with a dropper last night and sprayed her with water as well thinking she may be dehydrated. We know she's at the top of her life expectancy, but didn't know if there was something we could try. New UVB light? Increase basking temp? We're at a loss!
Thanks in advance....
