Uhh I never got a coil one??? My UVB is a tubeAlso, don't do a dome, as we have said, you need TUBE UVB. Not a uvb bulb/coil.

Try feeding her some veggies or fruit such as carrot greens, carrots, peeled small apples and butternut squash. And you said she hasn’t pooped yet? Try using a syringe to give her olive oil to drip on the top of her nose, or just give her another warm bath. Turn the heat up to 110 as well, what substrate (flooring) are you using? Don’t use sand because that can cause impaction in beardies and kill them sometimes.So I joined this forum in hopes someone more experienced then me can help me with my baby. She is a female bearded dragon who is maybe just barely a month old and I bought her from a pet store. We only bought a starter kit that came with a heat lamp. She was eating fine for the last 3 weeks or so until about a day or so ago - this would be day two - of not eating any crickets.
I have a small dish a finely diced carrots, callord greens, and a small serving of kiwi for moisture since she doesn’t seem to drink from her dish. I have a small suspicion she might be constipated so I gave her a warm bath today in the sink and she hasn’t pooped yet.
I also think it might be because the starter kit left out a UVA/UVB bulb in the kit and without it she isn’t digesting right - I currently have one being delievered in the mail and will be here thursday - my concern is that if it is because of the light will she be okay another day 1/2 - 2 days? I keep offering them to see if she will take some.
Please help. This is my first beardie and I don’t wanna lose her.

Do not feed her any bugs....she needs the uvb/uva light in order for her to digest her food. As for hydration, my Ziggy (8-10mths. old) does not drink water. I hydrate his veggies before adding his bugs to his food bowl. For now since your light is due to be shipped to you, stop trying to feed her crickets. Try a couple of blueberries (cut in 1/2 since she's small). If she eats them, that will help her poop. As for the baths, keep giving them to her (every 3-4 days). Pat dry her & let her sit under her light when it comes in. Try giving her some veggies (mustards, butternut squash (peeled/raw-cut real small), etc. Hope this helps.She is active still. Runs around, doesn’t seem lethargic or dehydrated or anything like that. She just refuses her crickets. I tried giving her half a waxworm earlier too in case she was bored of a crickets for now but she refused that as well so the last thing I could think of would be the UVB light
