Hello,
My name is Desirea and I am new to this forum. I have decided to join to ask for some help. I have had beardies and I am in love but I have recently rescued a male. I am having to nurse him back to health which is the new part for me. He is really under weight. Very sweet and loves baths. I am excited to be able to have some people to talk to that know what they are talking about! I don't personally know many people with dragons. :)

Good luck with your new beardie! I hope that you make a wonderful relationship with him!

Welcome to the forum and good for you for taking in this fella.. Depending on how malnourished he is just go slow and steady and make sure you work on hydration first. So getting him to eat greens is good maybe make up some slurries of greens and veggies with pure coconut water.. then slowly add in the protein of bugs.. If you go too fast with the bugs it will be hard on the liver and other organs as depending on how long it's been without good food it will take awhile to get them working well.
