Hi, my bearded dragon Lizzie I bought from someone about a month and a half ago. Not knowing if it was a male or a female.
She was originally very active, then I had a scare because she was not eating or going poop for a good week. She would also hide in her hiding rock for days at a time and not come out. I brought her to the pet store being told she is waiting eggs. (This was about 2-3 weeks ago)
She ended up eating again and passing waste once maybe a of couple times after a week. (Yes, at this point I was giving her daily baths in warm water)
I had bought coconut husk substrate put a container of it in her terrarium, for the whole amount I bought she wouldn't mess with it once. I am wondering if there is a point to buy more? She just does her thing now, she is active and hunts, yes she hides in her hole but she does her thing too.
I do notice her belly is bigger, how long does this process take?
Is there anything else that I could do? She won't use the coconut husk, will she just do her thing? I am pretty sure that the previous owners didn't have another bearded dragon, considering the original set up I received.
As well, I find it weird she has again stopped pooping I am not too sure but I haven't seen any in a bit... I know I am new to this but I am sure she should have passed more by now.. I do give her a bath every other day to help.
She has been eating crickets and bok choy with sometimes carrots, cucumber rarely, alfalfa or endives. As well as dried fruit from the pet store.
I am sorry for all the ranting haha, I am new to this in a way and I want to be sure I am doing the best for her
..
Thank you in advance. ^_^;
