Bearded dragon wont eat

It might be brumation. I wouldn’t get her out to bask if it’s brumation you have to let her sleep but it’s worth getting a vet check and a fecal test to check for possible parasites. If it is brumation she needs to have a empty stomach before she sleeps. If you ask on that Facebook group there will be people more expearienced than I am. My dragons have never gone into brumation so I don’t know what you have to do with the lights and other things but everything you need to know will be in that group. If I was you I would 100% get info from that group.

Thanks Mason.

How much does it cost on average to get a standard check up on dragons?

Thanks again . Tom

Honestly I’m not too sure. I’m 16 so my parents dealt with the money part lol. But although I’m only 16 I’ve done tons of research and I’ve learnt so much from that Facebook group. And I understand the worried because I’ve had so many with mine. But your best bet is to ask in that group because they will tell you everything you need.

Vet costs vary greatly, based on what tests they need to do, where you live in the country, etc. make sure you go to an experienced HERP vet.

@rigby1987 There is also a real good FB page called Bearded Dragons Anonymous. It's a small group of real helpful people that don't judge or fight with you.

Quick update . Since installing new uvb she is staying out though the day now but still not eating .

The only thing I have managed to get her to eat is a few Morios I had left .

I have an order of locusts and phoenix worms and dubai reaches on the way .

I'm going to try mixing them with greens and obviously dusting the lot with supplements.

Thanks for the advice so far.

Forgot to add she sometimes falls asleep through the day as seen in this pic.

Does she want to brumnate?

She could possibly want to brumate. It’s hard to tell because my dragons have never done it. A dragon should have around 5 Morio worms a week b cause they are very fatty and addictive. Just a tip. Your best bet is asking that Facebook page. They will know what to do. You could get a fecal test done because that will tell you if there are any parasites because they have the same symptoms as brumation.

She could be wanting to brumate, she looks old enough. Does she have a hide in her tank?
