[QUOTE="xp29, post: 2027044, member: 114539"] There is a fews things right off the bat. The uvb you are using is no good, they need a long tube uvb to get adequate uvb. I personally recommend the Arcadia pro t5 12% desert. A lot of folks use the zoomed, but i have had trouble with them. As far as hydration, try using an eyedropper to drip water on her snout. Use plastic they can bite hard enough to break the glass ones. If she still won't drink you can add in a little none citrus fruit juice to give it flavor. Be sure to use a wet cloth to wipe away any that runs down her chin. No need to take a chance on causing bacteria or fungus to start in her scales. Her basking should be 95 to 100 degrees. It really needs to be measured with digital probe thermometers. You can pick them up at petsmart for about 10 bucks. They are the most accurate way to take the temps. Tracie ([USER=8309]@Drache613[/USER] that [USER=97951]@KarrieRee[/USER]) mentioned sales kits to test for adv one her site, very inexpensive compared to a vet visit. The uvb and basking temps are critical to their health, if you don't get those on point asap she will not thrive, and worse without the right uvb they can't absorb calcium and will develop metabolic bone disease. They suffer really bad if that happens, and it don't take long for it to start. I'm not trying to pick on you or be judgmental in any way, i just want you and your beardie to have the best life together 🙂 [/QUOTE]
