Bearded dragon won't eat?

[Tiff1990]

Yesterday as my husband was putting the carpet back in her cage he dropped her tree on accident inside the cage it did not hit her or anything she's fine except now she's acting scared and won't eat... she's sleeping a lot more than normal she's moved around some today and has ate one cricket but other than that I'm worried she usually eats a lot. Help me please

Her set up is fine she's been very active up until that happened. We have all the right lights etc. I made sure I had everything correct when I got her since our first one died. I just got up and it's 11 am here no crickets in the cage unless they are hiding and she's on top of the tree asleep so maybe she ate them when we went to bed last night or this morning. I'll take a picture and post it here in a bit. Also last night I gave her a bath and that kind of got her moving around but not to much. I'm just worried about her I've only had her a month

She has a brand new basking bulb it's 100 watts along with a new repti sun 10.0 uvb bulb

You do turn the lights off at night? If not she could just be tired for lack of sleep and the excitement of the tree incident. This just a what if, from what you have stated.

We do turn off the lights at night. Would the tree incident make her do like she is? She's moving around now I'm going to wait a bit and feed her to see if she eats there are a couple crickets in there now but she hasn't tried to eat them yet

Imagine what it was like to her.
Example: you have your head in a 55 gallon drum and everything is quite and peacefully, then when you least expect it someone hits the side of it with a ball bat.
This is what she experienced when the tree was dropped.
She will get over it but it could take a few days. This was extremely traumatic to her.

I hope so it just worries me! Anymore input would be great!

Hi. I see you have a coil/compact uvb. Those have been known to cause appetite, lethargic and eye issues. I'd replace that with a reptisun 10.0 Tube.

 

[Gormagon]

Destiny is right, those light that come with those kits are not all that good for beardies. The noise, light and moving her world around (relocation stress) are all causes of what you are seeing.

Suggestion, take her out of her viv when cleaning or moving things around.

We usually do get her out she just so happened to be down and he want to pick the tree up and it snapped somehow and fell after that I picked her up and held her for a long time till she calmed down. Luckily she was on the opposite end of the tank when it fell or it would have got her

Just picked her up and put her down to see if she would eat but she's not. I'm going to take my basking bulb back and get a different one maybe she's not getting enough heat from that bulb hopefully while I'm gone she will be fine. It says 85 in the tank now and I know it needs to be higher. When I got the bulb it was staying 105 I guess it's lost some power since I got it. I moved her to her hammock. She's never been this calm it's kinda freaking me out
