Good evening! My sons female beardie has stopped eating like she was abruptly. She was eating 10-12 crickets twice a day + her greens daily. On Monday July 2 we noticed her chewing on her plastic leaves so we removed them from her tank. On Tuesday July 3 she wouldn't eat all. At this point I thought she was impacted since she hadn't pooped in 4 days or had blockage from eating a piece of the plastic. We were able to get into the vet on Thursday July 5..the vet did a xray and found no foreign objects or impaction. They proceeded to give her an enema to help produce stool. She finally passed a bit on Friday July 6. We were going on vacation Saturday & felt it was best to board her at the vet with hospital care composed to have relatives keep her for the week. She was under vet care from Friday July 6 - Saturday July 14.. they gave her fresh greens twice a day, soaked her twice a day and was weighed/vet checked daily. The vet said she is alert, active and gaining weight and has no concerns other then not having much of an appetite. She didnt poop at all there but did as soon as she came home. She's home now still gaining weight but barely eating. We give her fresh greens twice a day but doesnt eat all of it. She still wont eat live crickets or meal worns. I do break up freeze dried meal worms and crickets in her greens to try to get some protein in her. Im not sure what else to do. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
