Hello! I recently purchased an approx 2 month old beardie from petsmart, and i just want to make sure that i am on the right track. He wasn't eating well and lethargic as per the staff, but being a vet nurse, I wanted to take him on and give him a chance. Initial weight was 6g, approx 5". They were syringing him grub powder/slurry. I got a basic terarrium starter kit (10 gallon tank, 80 watt daybulb, red bulb for night). It has now been 1.5 weeks, and he has grown to 7.9 g and 5.5". Mixing appetite stimulant powder with the grub slurry, and he eats about 1.5 ml/day now. He refuses to eat on his own, and i worry about his stress level with the syringe feeding. He is scared of baby crickets, won't eat greens or kibbles or soft food. Basking temp is 95-105, cool side is 75-80.
