Took my beardie in to the Vet for a follow up fecal after finishing treatment for parasites. He is perky and acts fine but still won't eat. It's been 6 weeks of force feeding. Fecal showed that his coccidia had completely cleared but still had small amount of pinworms so she wants to give a few more maintenance treatments of Panacur just to be safe. She said to try and play around with his diet. Try changing his feeders as he may be turned off by what initially made him sick. I did that but still a no go. She also said she has seen in some beardies that they quit eating feeders all together. She said it happens a lot with snakes and just as a person who eats a particular food and that food makes them really sick, they never want to eat that food again. She suggested giving him pellet food and see if he'll eat that. Curious if this has happened to anyone's beardie ? I would also like to add that she ran his blood work and it came back normal.
