PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!
First time bearded dragon owner. Had him for 3 months
yesterday I got my bearded dragon (Denny) 20 medium crickets and 100 meal worms. Usually I put the crickets in and he hunts them in his enclosure for awhile.I put 6 worms in his food dish so he could eat them later if he wanted because he has been eating collard greens for awhile. after he had finished hunting most of the crickets I took him out and gave him a bath to hopefully get his bowels goin,no movement yet so i put him back into his enclosure and let him bask and relax for the rest of the day and did his usual light routine after dark.His basking spot is usually 105 to 110 during the day and it stays about 85 to 90 in there at night. (F)
Today I go to clean out his enclosure and give him some collard greens and he had pooped and there's pieces of meal worms and a full cricket and some already chewed up collard greens so I'm guessing he threw all this up. I cleaned it all up,put collard greens and 3 meal worms in his dish and he doesn't want them.His beard is very black and has his head lower than he normally does.I gave him a warm bath for 5 minutes and usually he hates getting a bath and runs around and tries to jump out or climb out but this time he just sat there his head almost touching the water so I held his head up and slowly pet him and dried him off while he stayed on my chest.
He's 6 months old and is usually very hyper and wants to explore and run around when I take him out but today he was very lethargic.
He didn't throw up anything foreign and he has paper towels for his substrate just because I didn't want him to eat a loose substrate because he is still young. So he didn't eat substrate.
He doesn't have free range of anywhere but his enclosure because,once again,he's young and still small.
I keep a shallow water dish in there and never see him drink out of it he usually likes to drink in the bath.and he was drinking water in his bath yesterday.
He isn't dragging his legs,he ran a just a little bit earlier but just wants to bask but that's where he normally is.His under-belly is soft like usual
I thought maybe impaction but he didn't eat anything weird and he's had normal bowel movements.
maybe he aspirated water? he threw up a little water
Or maybe he ate too much too fast?
maybe his stomach got used to eating all greens for awhile so to get a bunch a bugs made his stomach hurt?
could his basking side be too hot?
I'm not sure what's going on but that"s why I'm here! Please help me decode whats going on and how I can help my little Denny!!
