[QUOTE="beardie, post: 2021061, member: 3"] I agree with KarrieRee that fixing the lighting and keeping the beardie hydrated are the main things to start with. A week is a bit on the shorter side to feel effects of poor UVB lighting, so I’m not sure it would be the cause of the lethargy in this case. But it is a key thing to fix that can help perk up a beardie. For hydration, here’s more info on various ways to help keep your beardie hydrated: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.beardeddragon.org/threads/how-do-i-keep-my-bearded-dragon-hydrated.266635/[/URL] And here are some articles on lighting needs (probably in this order for your needs)… These all need a revamp (in the plans), but are still good to help get you going on fixing lightig: - Has links (I just made sure theywere still good) to specific products: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.beardeddragon.org/resources/lighting-guide.22/[/URL] Some generally good guides: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.beardeddragon.org/resources/newbies-guide-lighting-help.2/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.beardeddragon.org/resources/introduction-to-uv-lighting.3/[/URL] Do your best to get the beardie back on track. Don’t beat yourself up about the coil UVB bulb, or other things at this point. The first couple weeks for a young beardie coming home can be the most challenging, stressful, and volatile. So, many factors could be feeding into this health decline. But recovery is very possible. Good luck! And please do keep us posted on how the little one is doing and let us know if you have any other issues. That’s what the community is here for. Also, tell your 5yo to hang in there. I know how you (as the parent) are feeling about protecting his feelings. My 5yo daughter (almost 6) would similarly be heartbroken. Pets can be tough lessons. My daughter got attached to my cat (had him long before I even met my wife). He died in 2020 (18 years old), and my daughter was soooo upset about it. We think it even triggered some behavioral issues we dealt with for a good year or so. She even still mourns him. Sometimes when she’s tired at night, and she gets emotional, she will still cry about missing him. It doesn’t help that she named one of her stuffed animals after him, Schrödinger. [/QUOTE]
