I have had my bearded dragon for about 2 weeks now, it hasn’t been a big eater at any point since I have had her. I set her tank
up the same way I did my other baby bearded dragon. 4x2x18”, with basking area around 105, uvb tube mounted in front of basking so that it covers basking area as well as 2/3 the tank. Besides basking area warm side 90 degrees and cool side 80 degrees. (I did have the 2 together for first week as I didn’t know better but separated last Friday she is actually in the same tank and the other baby went into the new one)
I feed in a escape proof bowl in enclosure.
She went from eating 10-15 Dubias through out the day to now eating 1-5. She did shed and finished yesterday everything but tail, and now tail is looking more dull). She never eats more than 2-3 bites of greens in a day. She appears interested in the Dubias and occasional wax worm by turning head and watching them, just doesn’t go down and eat them.
My other baby eats 40-60 Dubias a day and is shedding currently. So that’s part of why I am concerned.
Besides not eating she acts pretty normal. She bask about 1/2 the day and the other half she is on another branch up close to uvb, but not under basking bulb.
Stool is normal. Solid formed brown with white (sometimes the outside of white will have a little yellow or orange on it, but not always and very minute amounts)
Also her “stress” markings on stomach and neck are always super dark.
What could I be missing?
