I already made a post about some concerns I have with my Apollo, but it was pretty lengthy so I’m making this post to specifically ask about why my bearded dragon turns darker with a black beard when he sleeps. I’d say maybe he’s been doing this for about a week? I also just noticed today that he has a weird discoloration in his mouth that I fear may be “mouth rot”, and I don’t really know what that is or how to treat it. I read somewhere that someone’s bearded dragon was sleeping with a black beard every night and it was related to a liver problem that ended up killing their bearded dragon later on, and I’m absolutely terrified that my bearded dragon may have that problem. I believe it is also worth mentioning that he has been ignoring/rejecting food lately, and has been eating no more than 2-3 worms or blueberries a day for the past 3-4 days compared to the normal 7-10 worms and some fruits/veggies he used to eat daily. He is very lively and active with normal stool, but there are just some pretty odd things that keep me awake at night with him. I hope my Apollo is okay, I just need someone to help me figure out what is wrong!
