Hi, I'm a new bearded dragon mom and very concerned about my BD Saphira..I bought Saphira back in August of 2018, from a breeder, she was doing great, no relocation stress, was friendly and eating the day I got her until Nov of 18..Saphira was eating dubias, bsfl, a few wax worms each week..I tried crickets but she was not interested in them, ate 1 and that was it..her breeder never gave her crickets while he had her..she used to run down her basking branch whenever I opened the door to feed her and ate very well until the end of October, she wouldn't eat anything, I coaxed her to eat something but it wasn't even close to what she had been eating..Saphira was 3 months old when I got her in August in oct. She started not eating was not as energetic, and was sleeping more then usual I took her to Exoctics vet by me who has a good reputation and he did blood work on her, fecal, and a ultrasound to see if she had any eggs, her blood work came back great, no eggs, defiently a girl but she had pinworms, was treated for pinworms and retested, she is fine, gaining weight, growing pooping good, I give her a bath every other day when my work schedule allows on days I can't give bath I mist her good as she doesn't seem to drink water much but since Nov she will not eat much, she stopped eating all her insects so doc told me to try mealworms, she liked them at 1 St but now doesn't even want to eat them..she has never ever eaten greens since I got her even though I offer them to her everyday..she is in a 40 gallon breeder tank, her basking spot is 105-110, cool side 80-85...I am using newspaper still after she had pinworms but have slate for her flooring before she was sick..she has a reptisun t5 HO 10.0 tube uvb light and a 100 watt exo Terra basking bulb, a hide cave on the cool side and a basking branch on the hot side...she had she'd like 3 or 4 times before oct and has not she'd since...she will b 8 months old on the 10th of this month and weighs 359 grams...I am at a loss of what to do now..I spent over 400 dollars at the vet on her and have had to let 2 of my babies, my Labs(dogs) go to the rainbow bridge in Feb of 18 and oct 18, so I am tapped out money wise, any info at all would be much appreciated..
Thank u, Saphiras mom
