I have a baby bearded dragon...?

Question

and it doesnt seem to be eating at all. Its only about 5 1/2 inches long. I've read many places that its supposed to eat at least twenty mini crickets a day but mine hardly eats, its about 12 am right now and its only eaten 1 cricket today. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Please visit this site...I hope this isn't what's wrong with him...But I had a baby die after only having him a few weeks and it was from this desease...

I finally took him back to the reptile store to find out what was wrong with him and the owner very honestly told me that she'd purchased his lot from a person who had been proven to have the desease...I really really hope that I'm wrong here...

Please visit this site and do some research on the care sheets etc. after looking at these posts...I'm terribly sorry if I'm right.. :-(

Answer 2

Well firstly how long have you had the bearded dragon? some times it can take a few weeks for your beardie to settle into its new enviroment. Secondly a beardie might go off his/her food if he/she is shedding. Make sure your tempatures are correct they should be

Basking - 100F - 110 for babies ...100-105 for adluts

Hot end - 90F

Cooler end should be around 80-85F

Sometimes mine wont eat for a couple of days, make sure theres veg in there at all time so if he does get hungry hes always has got something to eat.

They can go without food for a week and they will be fine, if it continues seek veterinarian advise...

Goodluck...Hope this helps
