We moved our Bearded Dragon (4 months old) to a 40 gallon tank on Sunday. She ate crix & mustard greens & cilantro that day. She also ate crix & veggies on Monday. I gave her mixed vegetables for the first time on Monday. She wouldn't eat anything on Tuesday. She ate only 3 crix Wednesday. I thought she was just a little stressed from her move. The tank is in an area that has a little more traffic, but I don't think it's enough to make a huge difference. I had to stay in the hospital overnight with a relative & when I got home this morning, she looks terrible. I can't believe she has went downhill so fast! She doesn't seem to be able to open her eyes! She is limp most of the time. We have bathed her twice. The first time she was more alert, but about 30 min. ago, she wouldn't open her eyes. She has never acted like this before, so I'm starting to freak out a bit. What are the most important steps at this point? Do I need to pick up baby food & try to feed her. Monitor her or try to make vet appointment? Please help. I just checked her temps & it's 95 & 79, 24% humidity. The average since we moved her has been between 100-108 on the hot side.

You could try bumping up the temps to 110. She could be stressed but also maybe dehydrated. When was the last time she poo'd. If she is lethargic, I would definitely get her checked. It sounds like she is trying to brumate but she is to young for that. Tell us about your setup.

Ok....I was trying to upload some pics & my computer locked up. So I went a mile up the road to my aunt & uncle's to use their computer. I'm using newspaper substrate. Temp was up to 100 when I left the house. She has one basking rock on hot side. We had a water dish, but took it out Monday because of humidity. We have 15" UVB light strip & heat lamp with 100-watt bulb. The boys made a small cardboard hide for cool end. That's all we have in their now.

She has been pooping normally.

When in doubt see a vet. I would bump up her temps a bit and offer her food and water and hope that she snaps out of it. I would also take a fresh fecal sample to the vet too to check for parasites.

I would definitely take her to a vet if she's so lethargic that it's scary. You never know.
