Hello, so I gotten my beardie at Petsmart. I am a new beardie owner. He looked overall healthy even his tank mates. He hasn’t eaten in a week ever since the day we got him. My temperature for his basking spot reads 100-105. His cooler side reads 80. He is in a 20 gallon long and is on paper towel substrate. He is also about 4.5 inches. The bulbs we have for him are the Reptisun 10.0 and the Zoo Med Repti Basking Spot Lamp (75 W). We bought him live crickets sprinkled with calcium and vitamins but won’t touch them. I was worried he won’t eat so I also bought freeze-dried crickets and put it on his salad but still won’t eat. I put him in the bath on Day 3 and he pooped but pooped out some blood. I resorted to baby food but he still won’t eat it! I would try and try again but he just won’t eat. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or if it could be relocation stress. I stopped by the same Petsmart and the same tank mates look so much fatter and healthier compared to him. I’m so worried that he won’t survive.
