HELP PLEASE - A few weeks ago we could not get any bugs for my 1 year old female bearded dragon, only bugs I could get was mealworms, usually she has veg 5 days a week and bugs once-twice a week veg is calcium dusted, bugs I usually feed is roaches/bsfl as staples, I only feed mealworms or crickets as a last resort. Anyway, husbandry is fine, T5 uvb two months old, 4 foot tank, basking spot at 30, with a good gradient, it’s humid in Qld where we live so I’ve been giving more outside time as all the wild ones are coming out and the weather is perfect, anyways about 3-4 weeks Ago we couldn’t get any bugs except mealworms, she started refusing veg as she hadn’t had bugs in over a week and I didn’t want to feed her mealworms or crickets, I gave in after a week and gave her a couple of mealies and crickets well a few days later lethargy started coming, bloated constantly, I’ve been giving warm baths x2daily, which here and there she poops in not sure if impaction as she has pooped a lot since bathing but she seems to be getting worse? But , urate Is very yellow. And poops smell horrendous, she’s not eating - at all, hardly moving and in a state of (sadness) she’s having natural sun time during the day, bath in the morning and at night, and I’ve tried a little bit of pure baby apple sauce and she has pooped, last little poop was urate yesterday which was very smelly,- the apple sauce got some poop out, today no poop at all, and the last few days it’s only been tiny poops/urate I believe Because she hasn’t Eaten in almost 2 weeks.. not a single lick/ bite. She hardly moves, her baths are atleast 30 minutes - an hour depending if she poops. And I’m noticing she’s always boated (like air) all day and just stiff, after a bath she seems a lot better for about 5 minutes her bloating goes, but is straight back to lethargy. 2-3 months ago she was parasite tested and came back all clear. Any ideas or other suggestions? There is not reptile vet near me at all. And I have no way of getting to it if there was. No one around knows reptiles at all. Only one that does can only do fecal parasites checks. Any suggestions? - Australia
Never had an issue before, I feel like it’s impaction but now I’m not sure with the bloating and lethargy ? Any advice appreciated and accepted.
