Beardie struggles to grip

[brent687]

Hello all
I,m new to this sort of thing but I would like some help if possible I have noticed my beardie not moving as freely over the past couple of days and had her out of the tank this morning and found that she cannot grip onto surfaces with her claws/feet she seems lively enough and alert although she is off her food. Any help for what is wrong with her would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks In Advance

Hello and Welcome,

Sorry to hear your beardie is not doing well. Does she seem to be off balance, is this what you mean by not being able to grip? Being off balance(if this is what it is) can possibly be a sign of dehydration. Try soaking her in some warm water up to her armpits for a good 15-20 minutes. Do not leave her unattended.
I am going to ask you some questions so that we may get a better idea of what is going on with your beardie.

How old is your beardie?
What Brand and Type uvb are you using? fluorescent, coil, compact or mvb?
What Watt and Type basking bulb?
What are the temps in both basking and coolside?
What are you measuring temps with? digital thermometer w/wire and probe, dial, stick on or temp gun?
What size is the enclosure?
What is the substrate?
What are you feeding? How often?
Are you bathing/soaking your beardie? How often?
When was the last time she pooped?
