Exclamation urgent help needed

Have a 14 month old rankins dragon, she hasnt eaten for the past four days, am starting to get a little worried as she has been a good eater in the past. Recently she has only been eating wax worms and very little veg and was quite content with them. now she wont even bother and she is realy lethargic. any advice would be greatly appreciated. cheers

Could she be trying to brumate? Also what are your temps and does she have UV lighting?

Thumbs up Definately ready to brumate

She needs to be brumated. Rankin's brumate more readily than normal bearded dragons. They also brumate younger. They start at 5 months. They will do this whether you want them to or not. In about 2 to 3 months you can bring her out and she will start eating like a little pig. I just brought all of mine out.

her daytime temp is aprox 30 deg C and at night around 22 deg C. she has a UV light source with tube that is only 3 weeks old. Took her to the vets and he said that it could be constipation but that he was not a reptile specialist. he gave me some liquid parafin to give to her 1ml per day for three days. he said that if the symptoms dont go away i have to take her to the vets near to newquay zoo as they have a reptile specialist.
if she is brumating then what do i have do do to prepair for this and how should i alter the conditions so as to reduce the stress that her body is going through? cheers for the help guys it is most appreciated.
