Hello, I’m a new beardie mom. I inherited two of them and they’re about 5 wks old. I did several things wrong. I got “small” crickets from the store but weren’t very small. I put them in there and later realized they were too big. I left the crickets in overnight…I’ve read that was not good. So I took them out. Then my don gave them a bath that was a little deeper than I’d like.
Now, the bigger of the two is very limp. Last night he didn’t move. But, after a while I saw him breathe. My husband saw him move his neck and open his mouth a few times. Maybe choking? Today no movement, belly looks deflated. We’ve learned the hard way. They’re in a 40 gallon tank and we’re just about to give one to a friend since we read they shouldn’t be together. Help! Any hope?
