I have a one and a half-year-old male bearded dragon that woke up from his brumation on February 2 and still has not eaten anything on his own. We took him to the vet when he woke up-he got x-rays bloodwork-everything looked great.
His enclosure is a 5 x 2 x 2 and he has a Reptistat system with 150 watt incandescent bulb on the hot side, 100 watt in the middle and a ceramic heat emitter on the cool side. His basking area is between 102 and 105°, the middle area is between 100°-90 and the cool area is 80°.
He pooped twice when he first woke up but hasn’t since then. For the past several weeks I have been giving him critical care herbivore and carnivore mixed. I just started adding an appetite stimulant. I gave him ReptiAid XL once but it smelled so much like alcohol I haven’t given it to him again. He’s lost 50g since he went to sleep (on 10/31/19 he was 605g)-most of that weight since he’s been up the past 3 weeks.
I‘ve raised several reptiles before but never had a bearded dragon...never had this much trouble. We love him so very much and are incredibly worried. We just feel like we can’t do anything right and we just want him to be happy and healthy. Any help would be incredibly appreciated.
