Hope you guys can provide some help since I do not have access to any vet within 3.5 hours that can provide assistance. We bought a baby bearded dragon from the dreaded PetSmart (I now know that’s bad) for our daughter for Christmas 1.5 weeks ago. He ate decently the next day, but has since resorted to eating maybe 1 cricket a day. So far no luck with greens/fruits. Baby food has also been a bust (he will take a couple licks if we put it on his nose).
We have bathed him every other day (Goes to the bathroom daily. More liquid then actual poop lately). We give him water drops on his nose a couple of times a day. Seems to be becoming more lethargic.
We are using a 100w basking lamp supplemented by a 65w “moon lamp” and the reptisun 10.0 uvb. Substrate is a vinyl tile (pic below). 40 gallon tank and the temp gun shows the basking spot 105-106 and the coldest part of his cage (far right) 78-80 degrees.
Please, any help.
Edit: we have attempted feeding him in various locations (smaller travel tank, 40gal tank, and bath bucket)
