My beardie has been having some problems lately I got her 3-4 days ago and she seemed okay the first day I got her but the second day she threw up and had diarrhea. She won't eat anything and hasn't touched her veggies. She has a 40-50 gallon tank. Basking spot is aprox. 107-108 Degrees, UVB light is brand new its a 50 UVB T8 Florescent Bulb and the Basking bulb is Repta-Sun Full-Spectrum Neodymium Daylight Bulb substrate is Paper Towels for now it use to be crushed walnut she has a Hide Spot, Hot Rock, and 1 Branch. I know hot rocks are bad but she has had it for so long and nothing has gone wrong she doesn't have burns or anything also I don't wan't to take it out right now cause she loves it and it would just make her more upset but later on in the future I probably will. Anyway I think she has eggs in her cause she always seems tired plus I read some were on here that when there bearded dragon is ready to lay she doesn't eat or 2-3 days. First thing I'm going to do is go get sand and a bin so she can lay. But if you see anything else wrong please tell me.

(I also soaked her yesterday in water and pedialyte cause she threw up and I wanted to get the electrolytes back in her body going to give her another back with pedialyte in it today to.)

EDIT: Wen't to go check on her and some of the veggies were gone and she moved to the basking area. =)

I would say relocation stress.
Alright, thats what I thought the whole time but wasn't sure and I'm new with a beardie so its kind of stressing me out as well as scaring me. I just put some little pieces of mango in her dish so I hope she eats.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
