When I first got Harley, she was a skinny little girl who had come from a home that wasn't very educated on dragons. I got her and quickly did everything I knew to do in order to keep a healthy and happy Beardie. Here's what that is: Cool side 84, Basking spot 8 in. from log and 108 deg, UVB light within 6 in.(reptisun 10.0), fresh water everyday, collard greens, kale everyday and every other day there is a mango or green beans thrown in(one every day but not in a row for varied salads), lights on at 5 a.m., salad at 6 a.m., fresh water daily, was feeding 25 crickets for 10 minutes twice a day (dusted in calcium), just switched to phoenix worms, she gets a bath 3 times a week, she is 6 months old, and the vet said she was in perfect condition. I, however, disagree. She is starving herself. She refused to eat crickets so I was recommended to buy phoenix worms, she still refuses to eat them. I've been keeping her going by giving her squash baby food for the past week. She recently had a weird bowel movement and the poop was a normal looking one, but there was a bit of pink on the white stuff? What could that be? She eats her veggies, but refuses to eat anything else. Please, please help! What am I supposed to do? I am so worried for her and I am at a loss. If anyone could please help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

Sorry to hear that you're concerned about your beardie. Have you had a fecal tested for parasites? If not, I would highly recommend doing that. Was the urate hard like chalk or rubbery? How is her activity level?

Yes, the urate was hard and chalky in a way. The vet said that she was perfect, and I had her fecal sample tested. So he said no parasites. She is somewhat active, but only when I get her out. In her terrarium she usually is pretty still. Sometimes she will get up and run around, but not too often.

Do you know if she was kept on sand or another loose substrate?

She was kept on tile, I have her on repticarpet now.
