need some advice

[beardiedude]

Hi I am a pretty experienced reptile collector. My name is Steve and I have 2 beardies at the moment both in separate enclosures. One male bout 4 months. one female about 2 months. Well here is the problem my female is eating very irregular when I got her she ate fine. Now shes eating one maybe two crickets sometimes four to five a day I know this is not right bc my male eats like 30 a day she picks at her salad but is not lethargic she poops regularly has proper heating and uvb light shes been fluctuating in weight also hasnt grown much since I got her either I aquired her from a guy three weeks ago who didnt really take good care of her kept her in a 55 gallon cage with like 20 other beardies ranging in sizes and kept her on a gravel sand mixture very bad conditions no uvb either and he would just leave crickets in the tank with them all the time. shes super cuddly and loves human interaction ive been giving her baths to help keep her hydrated just dont know what else to do to get her to eat even tied feeding superworms but will only eat a couple of those too. She shed about a week ago thats her in the pic

Sounds like a parasite, a vet should be consulted. Welcome to the forum.

I would take her for a vet visit just as a precaution. If she has anything wrong, it's good to catch it early.

Can she see the male in the other enclosure? Even though they are separate, it's possible she sees him and feels threatened a little. You could try covering her tank so she can't see him and see if that helps any.
