Hello all,
My beardie is about 3 years now, I've had her since she was about 8 moths and recently shes become very energetic but she hasn't been eating for over a week. She's pooping regularly but she scarcely eats anything offered to her including roaches and raspberries-which are her favorite. Every morning she wakes me up glass surfing and bumping against the glassto get out so she can watch out my window. I wouldn't be too concerned, she gets like this every few months (back and forth between being lazy and hyperactive) but she isn't eating. I don't have anything to weigh her, I never have, but shes lost a lot of weight, with her tummy hanging with a lot of wrinkles.
Her tank has been between 95-103 F on her basking side and at the lowest 80 F on her cool side. It is a Zen Habitats 120 gallon so only one side is glass and the top is mesh. She has two heat emitters, a heat bulb, and a long UVB light across the top. I'm wondering if she isn't getting enough from it, which is possible since it's just that one. I've ordered a new replacement for it as well. I've had mercury vapor bulbs before but they kept going out and were so expensive for how little they seemed to be doing. Any help or advice would be welcome!
