So I'm a newish beardie owner and my beardie Link has been doing awesome!! He was diagnosed with MBD but with proper supplementation, he is doing great! Recently, he stopped eating and I tried everything. Let me preface this convo by saying that I usually go to bed around 9:30pm and check I'm him shortly before then. Recently though I was up much later than normal (12midnight) and went down to see if he was doing okay.... ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON!!! His timer for some reason (boyfriend possibly and by accident) had been turned off so his lights must have been on all the time for the last couple of days. Could this be his issue for not wanting to eat? Please help!!!
Yeah the constant lighting could throw off his circadian rhythm but it shouldn't cause a permanent issue. I'd just double check the timers to ensure they're working properly according to their normal schedule going forward. I'd imagine his behavior will return to normal within a few days.
Thanks for the input guys!! It's been a while since I found out about the lights and he still isn't back to normal. Help ? I've ordered critical care and I've been force feeding him.
