My water dragon is skinny and sleeping alot is that normal?

Question

The water dragon at the pet store is always active and more bigger.

Answer 1

I would take your water dragon to the vet and have him checked for parasites.  

Answer 2

Of course it's not normal.  Because you haven't provided any husbandry information, it's really hard to pinpoint what could be wrong... but here are some things that could be affecting him:  inadequate temperatures, lack of UVB lighting, parasites, infection, etc.  I'd suggest getting a good digital thermometer to measure your temps (the stick ons can be up to 25 degrees off).

Then, if you don't have a UVB source, I'd suggest getting him a good UVB bulb (NOT a compact bulb, you need a long fluorescent bulb that is within 12" of him and not being passed through screen).  

If that doesn't work within a few days, I'd suggest getting him to a vet with a p**p sample.  He could have parasites.

Answer 3

NO, this isn't normal go to your local pet store an get a supplement called jump start an give it to him twice aday untill hes the way he use to be .
