It has taken a lot of time and patience but he is doing so much better. He looks like he's back to his pre sickness weight. Still have a ways to go though, to get him to a healthier looking state. Each day he's looking better and better. YAY!! He is starting to like the baby food. It has taken a...

Update: He (or she), is doing even better than this morning. As per all the suggestions, the tank is in order and he's on the right track to hopefully getting healthy. I know now that I'm going to have to figure out a way to up his food intake once he's back to what he was already eating but...

I can't thank you all enough, I can tell that just over night he is doing SO much better. He doesn't have much energy but he's opening his eyes every time I walk into the room or make noise near him. He's so much more alert than he had been the past couple days. THANK YOU all so much. I will try...

I appreciate it :( Im going to try absolutely anything I can to get him better. I really do appreciate any and all advice, criticism, anything to get my little one healthy. Also, if anyone can tell me exactly how I can "force" (I hate even using that word) feed him, I would be so grateful. I...

I'm just so upset that he's sick like this and that no one at the store seemed to think it was important to mention any of these things to us. Ugh. It sure would have saved some time and my poor baby's health.

Thank you for the advice. What type of light should I be using at night for him?

Forgot to mention that I had been misting the cage but because the humidity was high, I stopped. I also took the water dish out to see if that would help but it didn't. Though I still need to find a new humidity reader because if the temp was so off on the needle guage, I'm sure the humidity one...

I'm still having trouble posting any photos. I'll try again in a bit, I replaced the two daytime bulbs today. The "basking" bulb is All Living Things 75w neodymium basking bulb. The other is a ZooMed 13w 10.00 uvb bulb. I also bought a digital thermometer, and turns out that the needle guage one...

I can't post a picture from my phone but I just bought some baby food and am about to go buy a new thermometer. The bulb is definitely not an energy efficient one. I don't really know how to describe it other than its not coil and it's not like the regular light bulb you would use in the house...

Okay, it's definietly not a coil bulb. I'm assuming compact is the same?

I'm not sure exactly what type of bulb it is, it's the one that came in the kit and of course I don't have the package anymore. As for the thermometer, I have one that has a needle guage, and it's also got the humidity needle guage reader on it as well. How exactly do I force food into him? I've...

Sorry for the spelling errors. Hopefully you can decipher what I was trying to say.

I'm almost positive it's too late for my little one. But I'm hoping someone can explain what possibly went wrong. My husband bought me a baby beardie from petsmart the day before Mother's Day. Of course, all we had to go off of was what the people at the pet store told us. It's been about two...
