beardie seems to be sad and not as healthy

[ehk10]

Lately my beardie has been acting funny. He digs ALOT(he even got stuck)he just sits in a corner sometimes, and he doesn't poop as much. Before he was doing great and pooping 1-2 times a day. The past week he acted wierd, and the past 3 days he has only pooped once. Please help :?

anyone have an idea?

 

[Twobeardieguy]

Although if in deed it is a female she is to young to be throwing a batch of eggs!! But then again with all of these different bloodlines and mixtures nowa days you never no!!! If you don't find what you are looking for I would suggest a trip to the VET!!!! That way they can do a fecal!! Just my 2 cents.... Hope this helps!!!

Could you give us some details of your setup, type & brand of UVB, distance, temps, what type of thermometer you're using, etc? Also, are you bathing him/her, how often? That would give us a place to start so we can rule some things out.

2 basking rocks, food dish, water bowl, dig box(she might be laying eggs soon), ceramic tile, heat lamp, 6 in. away, 105 basking spot, 90 warm side, 70-80 cool side, reptiglo 10.0(i know i need a reptisun 10 but i just cant afford it, im 11 years old), bathed once a week, i use a digital thermometer with a probe at the end. She is going to the vet Tuesday at Three for a checkup. She had a wierd poop yesterday, it had a green coating and red things that looked like beans in it. Could they be eggs? we are expecting infertile eggs.

Oh yeah, she is preety close to a year old, 16-17 inches, and she was partly impacted a couple of days ago but she got better, she just had sand blocking the way. It was VERY minor.

At a year eggs are possible, but still unlikely. I have no idea what the red things could be. If it happens again, I know this sounds weird but take a picture and post it on here. As for the reptiglo 10.0, it is critical that it's replaced. You can get a reptisun 10.0 at http://www.petmountain.com for 20ish+ shipping. It is best that the bulb be turned off now, but you need to replace it within 2 weeks. Is there anyway your parents could loan you the money and then you could do chores to work off your debt? Here is a link about the reptiglo 10.0 that may help convince your parents that this is a dangerous bulb. viewtopic.php?f=34&t=101703&p=793076&hilit=ReptiGlo+10.0#p793076
Let me know how the vet visit goes.

My mom loves my beardie and pays for food and replacemant heat bulbs which are cheap. Shes about to spend like 100 bucks at the vet an just cant get a reptisun 10. I will try as hard as i possibly can for my little girl, I love her so much. As for the poop, i threw it away, sorry but i cant post pics. The poop worries me.
