[QUOTE="Tina16, post: 2000240, member: 116178"] Hi, thank you all so much for your replies. I have only done the fecal test as he was only not eating at the time I have done it and did not want to stress him by bringing him to the vet and the 2 reptile specialized vets in this town are on vacation. The test came back and they couldn't find anything. I am on my way to the vet right now to another town, where the only vet I trust is anyway (I am in a small country and there are not many vets who know about reptiles). She is the one I sent the picture to. I was avoiding going to her until now because she is in another town but he will be in transport for around 45 minutes, hopefully it will not be too stressful. Here is the video of him shaking his head: [MEDIA=youtube]tgb2-j4kep4[/MEDIA] I watched a few videos of beardies vomiting but am still not sure if that is what he is doing. What do you guys think? I have read about calcium deficiency. I have been giving him calcium every day, twice a week with D3 and once a week the multivitamin. Of course, this was before he stopped eating, could it have affected him that quickly? After I read more about this I have put a little bowl of calcium in his enclosure in hopes he will eat it if he feels the need to. The lighting was given to me with the terrarium. I bought a used one from a breeder but they assured me they changed the tube. I do not know which brand it is but you would probably not know it since we do live in a smaller country. The breeder has a lot of beardies of his own which do not have any issues. As for the food, he has been eating less and less for some time. He has also been more and more 'lazy' and we had to bring the food directly to him. He was a good eater before (he even ate his greens!) but not a great one and was already a bit underweight as could be seen from his hips. He has more than halved himself in the last week though. The last batch of dubia roaches I got were a bit bigger than the ones before but they were not bigger than the distance between his eyes. A friend of mine also suggested that he could have eaten something that is too big for him, which is what I believe you are getting at. It could be the case, I don't know. He is still pooping pretty regularly, although yesterday he left smaller pieces of feces across the terrarium. I guess it could indicate that he did eat something bigger especially since he is still pooping even after not eating gor more than a week, or is that normal? Anyway, I am on my way to the vet now and hopefully she will have more insight and she will surely be doing more tests. My battery is almost out so sorry if I didn't answer some questions, hopefully I went through everything! [/QUOTE]
