As suggested in my previous thread, I tried feeding my dragon that refused to eat superworms anymore, calci-worms. She wouldn't eat them willingly so I put them in between her lips and she then went ahead and ate them. She never showed any resistance to eating them once i did that but she never did it herself. So i just went back to waxworms because she will actually eat those. She still seems healthy as ever though. Not really sure what to do. But that now leads me to my next problem
My other dragon, Dune, now also refuses to eat. He has always been eating super worms but now he won't eat anything. The past 3 or 4 days, ive had to use my finger to open his mouth and put the worms like halfway in to get him to eat a few. He has also lost his calcium deposits on the top of his head. But he is still extremely active and doesn't look any skinnier then normal. Im really at a loss right now. Does anyone have any ideas for either of them?
Both of them are in 36 x 18 x 18 National Geographic terrariums with tile as their flooring. No sand has ever been used. They have custom basking spots that were made out of covered foam like a lot of people do. And their basking spots are definitely warm enough warm enough. But not too warm. And the only time they are in their tanks is at night through the afternoon. Then they come out to eat, and bask in front of the window. And every other day we take them outside to let them swim in a kiddie pool that we fill with warm water and when they get out, we make sure they drink because even though they have filled water bowls, the don't seem to drink from them ever.
Thanks for any suggestions. If you would like pictures, just ask and i'l do my best.
