The mods will move this where it should have been posted.
Until then; what kind of light did you provide? full spectrum ? ?
We raised our beardie from hatching...... They are really very forgiving pets if the basic requirements are met. The basics aren't always apparent, though.....
We would have killed ours if it hadn't been for a knowledgeable friend (Guy D.)... Baby Huey is more than 3 yrs old now.
So sorry about your loss.....

I would ask a local vet for tips on lighting. They are usually happy to help right over the phone.
Beardies need a full spectrum UVA/UVB light and a basking light.
Metabolic bone disorder will follow if not provided. This is usually irreversible.
Dark greens, fruits and suitable bugs are needed daily, as well.
Good luck and I hope you try again..
