Hi I have a 1 yr 5 mth old female bearded dragon.
She has not eaten since Oct 09 or pooped. I had x-rays taken to check for blockage. And there was none. She gets bath wkly and I offered food daily- but all she wants to do is lay under her branch that is under her heat lamp. I'm about to give her back to the pet store because I don't know how long I can look at her just laying there! please any suggestion would help. I don't want her to die! Also she is not loosing weight!

Hello,

What type of thermometer do you use to measure your temperatures with? A stick on type, a digital probe or a temp gun?
How long have you had the 5.0 UVB? If you have had it longer than 4-5 months, it is time for a new UVB light as they do degrade with time. As suggested, the best type to get is the Reptisun 10 tube bulb. You can get it from here:

How often do you give calcium for her?
Did the vet check for follicle development? For her age, that is a possibility & shouldn't be dismissed. They can & will lay infertile eggs whether or not they are around a male or not.
What type of basking light are you using, is it a bright white one or a colored one?

Can you post a picture of her & a picture of her tank setup?

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!
