I would try the hornworms, they are soft bodied and should be easier on his digestive system. If you can get silkworms they are an excellent feeder, they don't hydrate as well as hornworms but are higher in nutritional value. They also don't grow as fast. I know crickets are a p.i.t.a but small crickets may trigger his hunting instinct. I wouldn't buy a huge amount at first though, they die pretty fast.

When is the vet appointment? Please do not let them do any enemas and I would hold off taking him anyway- its just going to stress him out more and prolong the eating--- I would keep feeding him offering him his food and feed him in the tank --- moving him from one place to another causes more stress -- post pics of him please -- is he basking?
The vet appointment is on March 6th. I asked if I could just drop off a poop sample for a test and they told me the doctor needs to see him and just do a general exam. This morning I put him in his Little Rock dish that has water in it and he started drinking in there. I wiped him off when he was done and then he went straight to basking. I put some BFSL sprinkled with Repashy LOD on top of his collard greens and little carrot pieces. I’m hoping he’ll find his way to the food at some point today.

He is looking a little better but his eyes are still sunken in, keep up with the hydration, but he needs to eat also. I would try some different feeders, maybe offered with tongs so he doesn't have to hunt just yet.
Maybe offer a few from tongs without the dusting just to try to get some kind off food in him. They can be stand-offish about the powders. He needs the calcium and multivitamins so if he will eat don't feed him undusted till full, just a few then try adding the dusting.

Hello,

That is great he is doing better. When they start eating, it is definitely an excellent sign. Keep us posted
on him! 🌹
Since he is starting to eat again he should hopefully start to really improve drastically.

He is doing wonderful and actively eating and chasing after bugs! He was much more active yesterday and that made me so happy! He’s definitely more comfortable in his home.

Thank you!! I was really worried too. I love this little guy. I opened up the other half of his enclosure and he has been all over the place in there. Lol! Best decision I ever made, getting a beardie.

Hello,

He looks really cute there! I'm glad to hear he has pulled through for you. It sounds like he is feeling
a lot better, too since he is so active. Very sweet. :)

Oh my goodness, I am really looking forward to those moments. I cleaned out his enclosure today and he was watching me. I enjoy seeing him run after his bugs and the way they chew is so adorable and hilarious all at the same time.

Thank you so much Tracie! I love my little guy and just spoiled the heck out of him while I was online shopping. He’s got some cute things coming his way!

I have been following this post, and am so happy he perked up, is eating and is active. It's scary when they are so small and fragile isn't it? Love this forum...the people here are so helpful when you have worries.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
