As Fuji is the inspiration behind my bearded dragon art, this update is about her.
At the weekend Fuji's health worsened. She had episodes of thrashing her head around uncontrollably as if having a seizure.
I sent our reptile vet a video of this behaviour which we then discussed at yesterday's vet appointment. He suggested this is another sign of Fuji's neurological condition. This condition is caused by inbreeding and there is no cure for the symptoms so I can only monitor her.
The vet suggested we could gauge Fuji's quality of life by any future loss of appetite that couldn't be attributed to something else (e.g. something treatable). While Fuji's interest in salad has always fluctuated, she never turns down her hand-fed locusts 💜
