Beardie Advice
Hey,
One of my beardies seems to be under the weather.
About a month ago my gf surprised me with some bearded dragons, and at the time they were in sep. cages, as one is a female and the other is a male, and we couldnt handle the violent... (nature) lol. But about 4 days ago, we purchased a 6ft tank.. This thing is huge! Build a couple hides out of neverused flowerpots, and threw a couple logs, a water dish and a food dish in there.
For the first while, they seemed great.
But today, we came home to find that the female was sort of.. plopped on the bottom of her ground, sleeping, or so it appears. She looks very ill. Little to no attempt to move, she would only open her eyes to see what was happening, and the other one was hiding in the corner.
There were puked up superworms all over her cage. One of my friends, also my BP breeder who works at a reptile store his girlfriends father owns, told me that I should be feeding them 100 superworms a week, each. Needless to say, I havent fed anywhere near 100 superworms a week. We still have a handful in each bucket of 100, and we've had the buckets for 2 weeks. But it wasnt until I started feeding her more frequently that this problem arose.
Now, the reason I am not sure what is wrong, entirely is because there are a number of factors playing a part on her situation..
- New cage
- New cage mate
- Superworms
I would also like to add, that my girlfriend was staying at her dads last night, so her mom being the complete.. (MORON) she is, regardless of how many times I reminded her, didnt turn their lights on until she got home from work which was about 6:30 PM. And even when she did that she didnt turn the UVA/UVB bulbs on.
I try to put calcium on the worms as often as possible, and we provide fresh lettuce and carrots every morning.
I just really want to get her back to health, and happiness. She is looking thin and wrinkly ever since she vomited, and I know thats never a good sign.
