Lu has ZooMed Digital Thermometer that, on the off chance I allow it to dangle into cage, she loves to bite and attempt to eat. We just got done moving and I was re-settling her in her cage when I noticed the node at the end of the thermometer was gone and I cannot find it. She will not let me open her mouth to look in and see if she ate it and I am running out of ideas for what to do. Any help?

How big was it ? It will probably pass through with no problem, just keep feeding her as normal + keep her hydrated. Not a good idea to force her to vomit.

It was only about an inch and a half to two inches long and not very wide. I thought it might be able to pass through but i wasn't sure.

There are alot of threads about beardies swallowing anything from pennies, dimes, a sandwich bag , tinsel, rubber bands, and rocks and most of them passed the objects, sometimes as much as a month later ! It most likely will pass, but your other options are to have a vet go in with an endoscope or else do surgery depending on how far down in the G.I it it has gone.

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!
