Hi guys!
This is my first time on this forum so I am still learning how to do all this stuff. But I have a female beardie and for some reason she will not gain weight. I have had her since she was a hatchling and for some reason I am not able to put weight on her. She gets crickets and superworms offered to her every other day and gets veggies every third day or so, but that varies depending on what I have in stock to feed her. Occasionally she gets horn worms and wax worms as well, but that is only once or twice a month maybe. She has all the necessary lighting and goes outside twice a week to bask in the natural sunlight. She acts like very other bearded dragon yet she just won't gain weight and I can not figure out why. She poops regularly and gets a bath every other week or so, plus gets sprayed down with water everyday. She gets calcium on every meal also. My other beardie is perfectly happy and plump. They are not in the same cage so one eating all the food is not a problem. I really don't know what to do? Anything will help! Thanks!!

She is probably around 5-6 years old. And this has only been happening for the last month or so, she has always been on the smaller side so I never even thought about it lately. But I started looking at her more closely and she is definitely skinny

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!
