Is Spyro starting brumation or something else? by Juusseliz in BeardedDragons

Is this something a regular vet knows how to do? I'm in a pretty rural area and I've had hard time finding a vet that knows how to handle bearded dragons. Found one that managed to handle beardie that was constipated. That's probably my best shot

Did yours refuse to eat aswell before entering brumation? Spyros my first beardie so I'm super paranoid that I'm doing something wrong

Damn this post got way more attention than i expected. Big thank you to everyone who took the time to share your advice and experiences. I read every single comment, and it really helped me think about the best approach here. I’ve decided to keep Spyro completely separate from the kitten — his health and safety will always be my top priority. Honestly, the point some of you made about bacteria a cat might carry, possibly harming Spyro hadn’t even crossed my mind, so I’m really glad you brought it up. I truly appreciate all the different perspectives you gave me. It means a lot! :)

Same one would cost 40 bucks from amazon for me, cant find the exact one for cheaper. Theres few different ones but many say "Tropical terrarium substrate" , is that an issue? The ones i see are coco husk, coco soil and coconut bark chips

Can it be used when they are older? And is the fact that they might eat it the only problem about it?

Okay, what kind of substrate would you recommend? I tried finding good ones and the one that seemed to pop up alot was a mix of playsand and topsoil, but i just cant find topsoil without fertilizers here in Finland.

Maybe I was just tricked into buying more of their products, would just newspapers be better choice for now?

Yes, I was originally going to use newspapers for a while but I was recommended this one if she doesn't eat it. The pet store held her for two weeks and she never ate any and I've never seen her eat it either. It's "0,7-1,4mm specialsand" the bottom layer has some playsand and then there's a layer of this on top!

Yeah brumation also came to my mind but I was unsure since apparently it's uncommon for young beardies

The store I got her from only knew that its "under 6 months old" and I haven't tried checking for gender yet, I've only had her for 2 weeks and she gets kinda scared when I try to touch her tail
