I came home around 30 minutes ago to find my beardie in the corner of his cage. He has his mouth slightly open and his tongue is sticking out a bit. He is still alive but almost unresponsive. His front legs will occasionally twitch and he will sometimes open his mouth further and then close it. He doesn’t seem to react to my touch. He hasn’t been eating as of last week or so and the same goes for using the bathroom. We recently had a snowstorm that knocked our power out for over a week so we had to put him in a smaller tank and take him somewhere else. I figured he wasn’t eating because of the stress of multiple moves on top of him shedding around his head at the same time. I’m really worried about him. All of the lighting/heating is adequate and he has constant access to water. I have no idea what to do. He is on a loose substrate so could he potentially be impacted? I also didn’t have access to the calcium supplement for around 2 weeks due to forgetting it at home. Could that also be the issue? I would appreciate all the help you guys can give me.
Also, several hours ago I gave him some fresh water in his bowl and he immediately ran over and drank some and then soaked in it for a couple minutes. Don’t know if that could help or not.
