I'm sorry to hear about the lack of appetite. Were her poops very stinky? It could be parasites, so would need meds from a vet.
The other question I had was: when was the last time you changed your UVB light & what type is it?
What are her basking temps and what are you using to measure them (what type of thermometer).

After those questions are answered I'll have a better idea of what it might be. Where are you located? At this time of year, alot of beardies (including two of mine) are going through what I call winter slow-down and aren't eating. It usually affects beardies because the weather is changing towards spring, not all are affected though. I have 5 adult males and 2 have been affected. One I have to feed by hand and the other I have been giving babyfood (chicken w/veggies and butternut squash) adding Carnivore Care to the butternut squash. That is working for now and hopefully, with spring close, they will be eating on their own soon.

I wish I had other ideas about your beardie, it's always upsetting when they stop their usual behaviour, especially eating.
Please get back to me with your answers & we'll try to figure out what could be wrong.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
