my bearded has been acting a lil weird for like the past month or two he still eats but doesn't really like his crickets anymore, he loves silkworms and superowrms and likes waxworms but i barely ever give him this and doesn't really like his greens and squash and carrots all that much anymore either, and has been extremely thirsty , to the point that wherever it sees water it runs to it and drop his head in and gulps down, he drinks so much that if u pick him up after he'll regurgitate the water , hes been eating repcal bearded dragon food too but just this week but hes been this thirsty for like 2 months now, what could it be, hes still fat and otherwise perfect, and the temps are good , 106 basking and the rest of the tank 80-85

Here's a link to the last time you asked this question. It has two responses on it.

If you don't trust us, (well, even if you do) take the dragon and a fecal sample to a good herp vet and ask them.

Is his poop runny? Hey if he likes to drink let him drink. Maybe mist him though that way he doesn't get too much that he regurges.

nah his stools are solid just as always, what do u mean the last post , nobody really answered it , i'm not a little kid, i just find it weird thats hes acting like that

I was not trying to be insulting or imply you were a kid. If i insulted you sorry, it truely was unintentional. If it is eating, which he seems to be doing. Having normal stools, but just likes to drink a lot. Maybe too much if he is regurging, then I would provide water more often. A more controlled way to give water is by misting the dragon. I like to use a spray bottle. Or you could use a syringe and drip water on the dragons nose. Also maybe try giving him some pedialyte. It has electrolytes. If the dragon is low on any of the electrolytes it will feel thirsty all the time. Hope this helps.

I think he was talking to me about when I linked back to his old post. I just wanted to make sure he didn't lose it as it got buried under all the new posts. Anyways, best bet is to have a vet take a look.
