Hello everyone, I am super concerned about my dragon. I left out of town and had a person taking care of him. She did a great job previously, however this time, she decided to feed him only big dubias because that’s all he wanted to eat. So instead of using the dubias I had prepared she took adult male dubias and some adult females and fed him them. I do feed adult males sometimes but I cut off their wings first and she did not know this and fed with the wings! My dragon is 10-11 months old and was very healthy til this. I was very upset hearing this but remembered she was trying to help. He pooped normally initially and then had one very dry and ‘wing/crunchy parts’ dry poop and then nothing else the last part of the week. The last couple days I think he has been staying in the same spot laying there. He hasn’t eaten much and this morning I offered him dubias/supers but he wasn’t interested. It was early and his cage may not have warmed up enough but it isn’t normal. He usually moves around and goes to different places in the cage and will always take a super and he is doing neither. I don’t think he even touched his lettuce all day and I hadn’t been able to offer any more dubias because I just got home. This weekend has been super stressful and I feel terrible that he isn’t doing well!!!!Even worse is that I was gone all day Saturday for my father in laws funeral so I could not watch how he was doing and today I had to drive a relative home and was gone from 9 am to 10pm. Tomorrow I run a camp and won’t be home til 3pm. This morning I left him lettuce and some supers in it which he usually loves but won’t even eat them right now( or yesterday). I can’t take him to the vet because we are nearly broke from all the expenses from the funeral. I plan to put him in a bath tomorrow at 3:30-4 when I get home and do this each day til he poops. I run the camp all week but only for this week. This is just horrible that I have to leave so early and be away from him. This is day 2.5-3.5. Though it’s been only yesterday and today that I know he hadn’t moved much if at all. What can I do?????
And he hates baths and I’m afraid he will hiss at me. I should make him do it anyway right??
I might be able to ask if I can arrive a little later tomorrow morning but if I can’t will 4 pm be too late, will he die????
