Hi There :)
Just need some help with a Central Bearded Dragon. Before he went down for the winter he was healthy and was eating like a champ, but as he woke up things started to seem a bit odd. I just thought it was due to the wacky weather that he didn't really want to eat but now I'm starting to get worried. I think it's some sort of blindness kicking in as he has no interest in moving food (usually nuts over food) and only eats when a food item is rubbed into his mouth. He continually runs around the perimeter of his pit (10mx4m) as if he doesn't know where he's going. I've been giving him a few pinkies to try to get his weight back on but I'm not sure if I'm winning.
Any advice on what it could be? Searched the web and majority of information is about UV lights causing it but this is not the case as he is outdoors.
Cheers :)
 
Will be this week but was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts before hand :)
 
Put some pics up of his eyes Imalizard..........
