So I got Sheila second hand and was told she was 5 (two years ago) she has never been very active, like at all! When we moved she didn’t eat for a few days but I know this is normal for some as they are sensitive to their environment. She’s a bit of a diva and doesn’t like her veg or fruit much but still likes crickets, sometimes eating a couple sometimes eating 8. With the hot weather we’ve had her outside a few time, which has never been a problem before. Around three weeks ago she had a full body shed, then spent the afternoon in the garden running around (rare) since then she hasn’t eaten, not a single thing, she also isn’t moving around in her vavarium and I’m really panicking. She’s also still got a lot of skin that hasn’t fallen off yet. She’s never gone into brumeration before and it being summer I wouldn’t think this would be the case? I took her outside yesterday and she was slightly active on the grass (all be it a bit wonky) she’s lost a lot of weight and looks very frail now

I would take her to the vet
Any advice would be great!
How hot is It in her tank ?
Double check the temperatures to ensure she's not heatstoked ..see this : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=233516
If the tank temperatures are too high a dragon loose it's ability to thermoregulate and even move. This occurs if the dragon is exposed to temperatures above 43 degC for sustained periods.

I am sorry your girl isn't doing well.
Could she have eaten something toxic in the garden while she was running around?
Since she is losing weight, I highly recommend taking her into the vet for a fecal exam &
bloodwork, if you can. It could be worms or parasites causing the weight loss possibly.
It sounds like it was sudden so something might have made her ill from the garden, but I'm
not sure. Is her beard darker than normal?
Can you review your tank setup with us also, just so we can be sure everything is all correct.
If you have any pictures of her & the tank, you can post them also.
