Beardie NOT Eating

[ryuk]

Ok so this has been going on for a while now.. my beardie stopped eating both insects and green as much since a month ago .. At first I thought she was just bored of crickets.. which she kinda was btw.. then i tried some mealworms for a change and she did eat them for a few days... then she stopped eating them so i switched to supers and she wont even look at them
Her temps are good and her UVB is good too.. give her a variety of greens and fruit..
But here is the thing that even through she dont really eat.. she is very active..
Another thing that i noticed is that she has been pooping runny poop for the past days.. but thats maybe cuz she drinks alot of water sometimes..
Idk but im worried about her.. i dont want her to get sick or anything like that...
O and another thing i noticed is that sometimes she likes puffs her eyes like if they were swollen she doesnt do this alot or anything but she does it once in a while.. i think it might be that she gets too close to her UBV light but thats just my opinion
plz help

I know you said that your temps and everything are fine, but can you give us a run down on the enclosure? It really will help if you can be as specific as possible. Brands, Types, Temperatures, Substrate, Greens (type and how much).

Sorry, post slipped through the cracks on us.

So she still will not eat anything? Is she still pooping? Have you still been offering the live feeders?

You can also try to get some probiotics in her or maybe some ReptaBoost. It helps their digestive system and may perk her back up some.

No i have to practically force her to eat which i hate doing. yea i have in fact i just bought her some reptiworms and some butterworms and she still not eating them... she only ate like 2 but i had to put them in my hand.. i dont want her to get used to that but it seems that is the only way she would eat if my hand is there.. do you know a way to get them used to eating by themselves cuz im not going to be able to feed her like that every time..
mmmm yea ill try that.. cuz i just checked her and i can start to feel her hip bones.. ill try to buy the reptaboost soon
Thanks

Has she ever had a fecal test done? This is always a good idea to do every so often and lack of appetite & runny poop are signs of parasites. My girl is still in the process of being treated for coccidia & pinworms. I got the test done because she didn't had much of an appetite.
Did you notice if when she puffs her eyes if she is shedding? This is most likely the reason, they do that when they shed to try to loosen the skin around their eyes.

Do you have a digital thermometer or a temp gun?
