Hi Everyone
A month ago, my bearded dragon was seen by a vet for lack of appetite. We later discovered he had some parasites, given medication (he's on his last dose next week) and I thought by now his appetite would return. However, Drogon hasn't eaten anything green in weeks nor has he had interest in any of his feeders. On his good days, he will take food from my hand (a few bugs at most), but I don't want him to get used to that behavior. He's still doing well with baths, he's active, alert, and curious. His initial weight at the vet visit was 692 g and has since dropped to 680 g.
Should I be concerned? Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can get him to eat again? I'm really concerned and frustrated I just want my baby to be okay!
Thank you!
