Beardie still not eating

katiebugus · Aug 25, 2016

I'm freaking out but trying to stay calm!
Puddle, our 2 year old beardie, has had a rough summer
1-cocidia and two doses of medicine
2-a fall and hurt his left paw
Now it has been since last Friday (almost a week) since he has had any protein.
I have blended his greens and syringe fed him for the past few days. I have also given him butternut squash and pear baby food.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you,
Katie & Puddle

Did you get him to the vet the other day? You were also feeding him some baby food to help him feel better.
Have you tried alternate feeders? Something that wouldn't be hard to digest like Phoenix worms?

I think someone mentioned you can feed them chicken baby food to add protein, but I have never tried that before.

Also his tummy might not be feeling great, have you looked into a probiotic? I think bugdelite sells some.

Thank you so much for your reply!
The vet didn't ask us to bring him in. I've been talking to her on the phone. She said b/c he's putting weight on his paw that it's not likely broken.
He has been eating some baby food, no interest in his salad or super works. I bought some wax worms, but he's showing no interest.
I ll try Phoenix and probiotic.
Thanks again!!!!
