I am a long term beardie owner. I have never had a problem dragon although on occasion I have taken some in and nursed them bnack to health.
I recently had someone send me a silkback that they couldnt care for and one of her siblings. They are coming up on 6-7 weeks old the leather is around 8" right on time with what is expected......she is only 4.5" sooo tiny. I just cant get her to eat and im worried about her. She wasnt eating for the person who sent her to me and figured id have issues after the move but she has eaten a small dubia or wax but not enough to sustain herself on. She will get up and move around but for themost part she lays sprawled out, if her eyes arent closed she is observant. I tried mixing in supplements, new foods that she wasnt ewxposed too before and its not looking any better, I figured Id see if anyone had any additional advice to try?
Her temps are set up fine, always access to fresh food, lighting is fine, using reptisun 10.0 tube fluorescent and full spectrum heat light. main feeders are dubias, pheonix/wax worms. greens/squash/blueberries/ exc. Everything that other dozen or so dragons thrive on plus a few things they dont get but she touches very little.
open to any advise, dont see lasting long at this rate.
