Whats wrong with my dragon?

LinsCubb Feb 13, 2005 06:01 PM

Hello, I have a problem, just recently (about 4 days ago) my beardie stopped eating crickets. They are lightly dusted with calcium. This of course was abnormal for her, she loves her crix! I figured they might have had too much calcium on them and they were drying out her mouth (far-fetched I know but it was worth a try). So I figured alright she eats her greens, maybe she just wasnt in the mood for crix this time. But now she wont eat anything! I tried changing her greens variety, I gave her a different type of pellet food, I tried giving her crix with no calcium powder on them. Still nothing. I checked all her temps, everything is good according to books and advise on her caging and heating and food. I was wondering if anyone could give any ideas as to why she might not be eating? Please help, im very worried. Oh by the way, she did poo out the last batch of her food (crix and everything) so I dont think she impacted. I give her water normally, and a soak in water every 4th day or so. PLEASE HELP!!

A temp gun, I raise and breed snakes so i'm aware of the regular temp checking. I have a temp gun that I use on all of them.
