Hello,
2 weeks ago I bought 2 bearded dragons, both 3 months old, both thought to be females, one called Echo and the other Lizzy, and its Lizzy that Im worried about..
they are in a large viv, about a metre and a half long, and 14 inches tall and wide.
10.0 reptisun UV light, at the top of the tank,
2 spot lights pointing on 2 different basking areas for them. Basking temps are 105, cool side of the tank is 87. General temp is around 95. Measured with stick on rainbow thermoms.
For the first week they were both fine, Lizzy eating all the crickets given to her, Echo not so much, but after a few days she settled down and started eating wonderfully.
I ran out of crickets on monday and bought some more, as well as a new wooden decoration, and then Lizzy stopped dead, didn't eat anything, shes only eaten one cricket since sunday night and now its thursday. Echo is getting much bigger, Lizzy looks like she is wasting away, shes very thin. Tried putting greens (danelion leaves, rocket, ect) near her, as well as the calcium dusted crickets, but she turns her nose up, doesnt touch them.
The crickets are considerably bigger than the last ones they were fed, but Echo eats them all with no trouble... Liz doesn't, just sits under the light. She walks around a lot and waves her arms but shows no interest in food of any kind, even the smallest crickets I have, and Im really worried,
ANY help or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated, thank you so much.
