I am sad to say that my beloved pet bearded dragon, Ronny has died last night from unknown causes. I have had her for several years now and she has always been healthy and active but for the last 3 days she hasn't ate, so about 11 last night I got out of bed and put my light on because I was worrying for her and I knew she wouldn't survive the night so I sprayed some water in her mouth and she didn't move. I picked her up and she was stiff as a board and her mouth was slightly open and that was the moment I cried. I miss her so much and the worst part was that she was only middle aged for a bearded dragon. This is my second bearded dragon death as my previous one died a year ago and this one has died recently, I am only left with Wilson. I miss her so much and I would do anything to bring her back.
Rest in Peace Ronny.

Sorry to hear of your loss Josh . Do you have somewhere in the garden to bury her? We had to put her in the bin because the cats next door would dig her up and I do not want that to happen and it is to expensive to have her buried at a pet cemetery.

Sorry to hear. Must be hard. Are you 100% completely sure that she has passed away? I've been reading some Books on my Kindle last night that Bearded Dragons can brumate (In other words Hibernate) completely shut-down in a way. Won't eat etc etc.
With a little research, I've found that you can get Insurance for them which covers all Vet fees, medication, illnesses etc. It also includes Death Insurance as well. It's like £124 per year or 12.80 Per month.

We are sure she is dead because her eyes where sunk right into her head, she was as stiff as a board and Wilson, my other dragon, is still normal and they lived in the same tank. I knew about the insurance but it is expensive and we never got round to getting any.

You could always try taking it to a vet for a post-mortem. If they will do so. That way, you will know how she died.

I hope she didn't get egg bound as its common in bearded dragons and more so as they get older

She did lay eggs a few months back and 3 of the eggs hatched. I think it is to late for her to lay eggs and the sand that she laid her first lot of eggs in was left in there for months so I doubt she was egg-bound, but thanks for the help in trying to find her cause of death.

I went out to the corner of our garden, where I had buried our persian cat. Horrified I saw a fox had dragged the cat in it's towel out of the grave I had him in 3 months later. I had to bury him twice only deeper, and I laid a paving slab over him. He hasn't been touched since.

Rest in Peace Roxy. I am so sorry to hear of this sad news, especially to see that you too were very upset, Josh.
It can be heart-breaking to lose a pet especially one you have had for some time. Roxy was very lucky to have you as an owner as I can clearly see how much you loved her and how well you treated her.
