Just been given a dragon and the stomach is flacid (he/she) has not drank or eaten. We've had it 2 days and we're very worried because (he/shes) not moving and we're having to move him to bask under heat please advice.

Everything we've got we've been given, it's a combined heat and light lamp.

Hello,

Congratulations on your new dragon, I hope you are able to get him/her back to health.
As suggested, please review your tank setup for us, so we can be sure it's all correct. Pictures would be helpful also.
Have you tried feeding him any greens or slurries with greens & veggies mixed in to help boost his system. Has he gone to the bathroom yet? Be cautious with giving too much protein initially, as it is too hard on his kidneys if he is emaciated & dehydrated.
Bless you for taking him in.

Tracie

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
