Pogo is not eating very much. Maybe a little salad (mustard greens) and yesterday she had 2 hornworms. She also hasn't pooped in over a week. I've given her a couple warm baths and can get her to drink an eyedropper of water occasionally. Basking temp is a good 95-98. Cool end is usually around 80. Her light is an Arcdia T5. I have been using a probe thermometer. Trying to give all the answers I know you all usually ask :) Oh and she turns her nose up at crickets and dubia right now.

So, I see where people talk about giving pumpkin (bought some baby food) and some apple juice to add to water. If she's not taking it voluntarily, exactly how do I go about forcing it on her? Or should I? Today she is pretty dark and thats not normal for her.

You shouldn't force food unless they are really sick and can't/won't eat on there on. Never ever force water, it's much to dangerous.

Gus - he’s a rescue!
How much water should I be giving my bearded dragon? He will only drink from a dropper when I drop on his nose and I’m not sure if I should give it to him until he won’t drink anymore? Or should I stop after he’s had a certain amount?
Just want to check that if my beardie is ok I managed to get a video of him yawning today and screenshot him with his mouth open does he have mouth rot??? He is eating and drinking normally btw, the discoloration on his left of the mouth has been there for a month but the discoloration on his right side is new
