15 years ago i got my first bearded dragon. Almost 6 years back i had to give her up to a friend due to health/ pregnancy issues. Never would of thought of having to rescue her back. I haven't seen her in 6 years and when i did, i cried. She was laying in her own poop and could barely move. She was ice cold and only had a tiny heat lamp. She was also in bark chips. Broke my heart! So i told them i am taking her back and they didn't argue. I am slowly nursing her back to health and shes doing pretty well! She is 15 years old and having problems with walking i think due to MBD. They told me they only gave her carrots and lettuce. Oh and crickets once a year....WTF! They stopped taking her out of her cage two years ago because she was trying to bite them. Well duh! I would too! When she saw me she went nuts trying to get to me. She is still as friend ever with me. Doesn't try to bite me and i let her even roam the house! My 5 year old loves her too:)
Question- Her nails are very very long now, i know most of it can not be trimmed but any ideas? Or should i leave them be? I'm afraid of hurting her because shes so old!

Here's some pictures of her from today outside with us.



Still at the peoples house right before i took her.


Roaming the house after i got her warmed and cleaned up.

Poor baby girl :( At least she has a better home back with you. You can cut the nails with a pair of nail clippers just be careful and try not to cut the quick

She's doing pretty well. Her energy levels have gone up so much. She's still not eating much though:( Its been hard to switch her to a better diet. She's so stubborn!! So far has ate some crickets but its hard for her to catch them. She has ate apple and some mustard greens. Hopefully she will pick up eating a little better soon!

Me too! I could not leave her there. I feel so much better having her back with me. Lesson learned! Thanks for checking on her. :)

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!
