Hi.
I am new to this site and bearded dragon in general. I do have some help but would like more advice..
I just got this beardie two weeks ago she is 10 months old from people giving iher away.
She was good and active when I first got her eating 50 crickets through out 3-4 days with a couple of either goliath or butterwarm. With endives, cucumber, carrot shavings, asparagus and pears or other dried pet store food.
5 days ago she started digging in a corner gave up and hiding under her rock removing the sand too staying there all day which was in the cold section. I would take her out to give her a warm bath and put her in the hot section. At the point she wouldn't eat crickets only a goliath that they obviously love the butter warm she didn't care for. She wouldn't really eat veggies either.
I moved her hiding place to the hot end and she still continued. I kept taking her out giving baths as someone at pet store suggested.
Ive noticed the past couple days her colour is darker and her belly patarns wont go away like they did before.
I found a new terrarium last night the other one I got her with was to small I set her up in the 55 gallon last night she is walking around more but hiding and her colours still dark.
One pet store originally told me its a male by picture I brought her in today they told me its a female and needs to lay eggs. I bought the coconut husk substrate I am not sure where to place it in the terrarium I put it in middle both zones but she's not going there but under her rock.
Is the pet store right or may there be something else?
if you would like photos just let me know ill figure out how I can post them.
I forgot to mention it has been at least 5 days as well that she hasn't passed waste. Everything at the same time.
thank you.
