I adopted two juvy beardies and while one seems to be doing well, the other is much smaller and not doing so well. I suspect the person who bred them wasnt bothering with proper heating and lighting. The little guy will eat on his own every so many days (Ive been force feeding him every day) and when he does try to eat, his coordination is very poor. I worry about his lack of appetite and ability to snatch up a pheonix or a crick thats right in front of him. Hes in a 20 g tank with a 125w solar glow heat UV bulb. Feeding him pheonix and hornworms mostly (along with the veggies I keep in the tank) dusted with cal + D3 and Im giving him a critical care supplement via syringe. They both look much better than when I got them about a month ago but is it possible the little guy will never be better with eating?
