I got my beardie from a family member who couldn't care for him anymore. She says she got him as a baby in Jan. She did not provide a uv light and used a red light as a heat lamp. He was also in a 10 gallon tank that had sand substrate. He was also being fed, meal worms, crickets, and ice lettcburger lettuce, and broccoli. He had a sister who was housed with him who passed before him about a week ago. Now that he is in my care,he has a 40 gallon tank I've been feeding him crickets,meal worms, super worms,horn worm, vitimin c with d3,kale,carrots,grapes,tomatos, and broccoli. Hes mot drinking on his own so I've been dripping it on his nose and bathing him everyday. He has had bm with me the 1st one seemed very normal the second was very runny and he seemed dehydrated to me so I've been forcing water as much as possible and now he has a carpet matt. He holds his mouth open often and sticks out his tounge. He is super chill and doesnt run around alot. He kind of drags his belly to walk. Not alot ot strength. I've also been syinge feeding him for the past 2days.He seems to have a bit of discharge from the corners of his mouth but I'm wondering if it's the liquid feed. No other discharges.He will take food when given by hand/forced but rarely does he do it himself. His eyes still seem alert and he doesnt hide he spends alot ot time in his basking spot.He also does look around and holds his head up and swims in the bath. I am terrified of losing him, and I have no way of a vet at the moment. I am looking for ANY help for him. I care for him dearly and I just want him to be happy and healthy.
