Hello, and welcome to the wonderful world of Dragons! This is a great spot to get info and guidance weather your new to dragons or experienced and just need advice.
The tank you got is a good size, yet a baby dragon should not have the entire tank open yet due to them being babies and not...
So I think we’re in the clear. He’s been slowly eating collard greens and spring mix in the morning, and I got him with two worms at night. I know that’s not much but I’m building his appetite. I’ve been offering more than two worms a day but that’s all he’ll eat for now. Also, he LOVES horn...
My guy was too young to die. Bengie was about 3 years old when I found him gone. We never had any problems with him, and I miss him dearly. Took me 4 years until I was able to get a new friend.
Funny thing is I had been asking the breeder since I got him and it took until yesterday to tell me. I hate giving the worms but I’ll have too for now. As long as I’m seeing him eat I’ll be happy. Gonna try the roaches with calcium dust tonight.
So I finally got a hold of my breeder to confirm what he was feeding him before I got my new guy. Turns out he’s been eating mini meal worms, roaches, and spring mix. I was offering crickets and Collard green. My guy was just being picky as I offered two worms and he ate em both! I know the...
I say to give them a warm bath up to the shoulders every other day. Also while the flow is extremely light, bring their nose up to the water and see if they will drink it. I find it helpful for bonding, and an easy way to manage hydration. These guys need plenty of water.
When I try to feed him, I’ve been just putting crickets 3 to 5 at a time lose in there with him, and have offered collard greens daily in front. I’m not even trying hand feeding as I don’t want to make it worse.
I did see lose skin fall off after his bath yesterday. When I handle him I come in with my hand flat to not scare him. I don’t come from above as I know that can scare him more. I’ve had 5 beaded dragons that ive raised since they were babies. I’ve never had one that’s acted like this. You guys...
Today I gave him a warm bath. He’s in a bad shed but still hiding and shy. After his bath I placed him on his hot spot at 109 and he stayed for 15 minutes then went to hide. A few hours later I noticed he had a HUGE poop!! Looked like he lost half his body fat. I saw him go for a bite of collard...
He continues to hide, and not eat. I keep finding him under the towel. Temps still look good. Overall he looks healthy just exhausted and wants to sleep. I’ve moved him from hiding, to his hot spot and he just runs and hides. Am I bothering him by moving him and stressing him?
I gave him a 15 second shower and he drank a lot. He’s extremely timid and wants to hide. I left him alone today but still didn’t want to eat. From what I could tell he either ate zero to 3 crickets in 5 days. Had to also change the background on the cage since I found him hiding behind the Exo...
Thanks for that. I have them separated now with their own lights and own enclosure. I put in a little hiding spot for him. I will continue to offer food and give daily baths for hydration. When do you think Is too long for him to not be eating?
