I got a bearded dragon in July of this year. I was so excited because I have always wanted one. I got her and named her Krueger (a name I had picked out for years). It started off great. She got daily holding, feedings, water and food changes, etc. The new semester began and I won’t lie, I got extremely depressed. I could barely take care of myself and I couldn’t take care of Krueger either. My roommate got a cat, so I have to keep my bedroom door closed. I am scared that the cat will spook Krueger so I keep my door shut, which causes me to not be in my room as frequently as I used to be. I have gone weeks at a time without feeding her and I just feel like an absolute monster. Of course I do not purposefully do this, I love her so much, but as my mental state has declined, I forget to take care of other important things. My mental health is getting better slowly, and I bought Krueger some live crickets the other day and she really loved them. What do I need to do to get her healthy again and how do I restore the relationship we once had? I’ve looked into rehoming her, but I end up sobbing every time I do. What do I do?
