our beardy is about 2 yrs old. she has a large tank and the heat and light (inc uv bar) are fine. she has a good diet of livefood and various fruit and veg with suppliments however about a week ago she became very sluggish and appears to have difficulty moving around her viv. she has lost her appetite and has not deficated in around 7 days despite daily warm baths with reptiboost. we have her booked in at our local vet in two days, he has better than average reptile experience but i'm just wondering if anyone else has any ideas.
any thoughts welcome
cheers folks

Perhaps she is getting ready to lay eggs. Never had bearded dragons but single female turtles lay eggs.

Hope that is what it is and nothing serious.

hi wildwood, no she isn't displaying any nesting behaviour and can't feel any eggs (have in the past) really appreciate your input though, thanks
I know nothing about this type of animal - but as a female it makes my eyes water to think about it.
Please let us know what the outcome is. We're all on here to learn.
Have you managed to open her mouth? Zippy our old bearded dragon had vegtables stuck to the roof of her mouth that we had not noticed, she was not eating so we took her to he vets and he hooked it all out, Its worth looking before you take her in, They are so funny to watch with there funny little ways.

Good luck

hiya folks, we took her into the vets the day after i posted this, sadly she had multiple tumours in her ovaries which were putting pressure on her bowels. she had surgery to remove them but didnt last the night. thanks for the comments and suggestions
