My bearded dragon is lethargic, weak, and not eating. Is she sick?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My bearded dragon has not been eating. She seems lethargic, weak, and doesn’t move much. I was wondering if this is a sign of stress or something that I should worry about? The temperatures and everything are good. I have had her for 3 years and has never acted this way. She also has very small bowel movement. It still has white with dark brown to follow but very small and only once a week. This has been going on for about 3weeks now. I did order live crickets from flukers farm if they were bad?

Thanks for reaching out about Sandy. This is not stress and a veterinary visit should be scheduled ASAP. She is very ill and weak. This should not wait until next week. For now, dry using a syringe to offer water and some meat-flavored baby food. good luck.
