hai people,
i am new here with the main purpose to have an answer to my problem. If i am enyoing myself here, I might become a huge post-man.
My problem:
Since two / three weeks my waterdragon is hiding in its hiding place. It never comes out. Fot eating i drag him out of there and then het eats good. Half an hour later she crawls back in her resort.
History
Before this problem started, she had one 'nose hole' which was blocked. My vet 'operated' her with a hook. This caused ofcourse stress. At home she slept in the water, which was not common. So i bought a hiding place.
When i purchased the animal, they told me too little. Ik have had long time no UV. I think the vitamin / CA I gave her was insufficient.
The answer:
What can it be?
Ticks: i have not spotted red/black little beasts
Internal parasites: Recently (one month ago) i have checked its poo at a vet (with reptiles-experience). No signs of parasites
Stress: It is taking too long
Lack of vitamin/Ca: how can i measure it?
The enclosure
T = 29 degrees Celsius / 35 warmest spot daytime
at night : 15-20 degrees Celsius
The water is not heatened
length: 1.50 x 60 depth x 70 centimeters high
She is the only lizard in the enclosure....
so... i sincerely hope for an answer
*PS: i am from the netherlands so my english is not so good.
