I know I said I would wait a week but I can't...
I must say that I have been devouring every bit of expertise I can find on beardies. And I believe this expertise from you all has given me the tools necessary to give my little girl, Rustina, optimal living conditions...
She is a fat pig and I...
Just an update... I am using a infared temp gun for my temps
Yesterday I broke down and I force fed him some silk worms... I held his head with one hand... Opened his mouth with my thumbs and then put a little silkworm halfway in his mouth and then let him take it.... Which he did ... He ate 5...
Thank you so much for helping m
The silkworm's are stage one so about the size of a small mealworm
I got the temps down to 40-41c on basking and 28-30 on cool side... Are those temps ok?
Would he really starve himself from relocation stress?
I'll keep feeding three a day
Thank you for helping..... I would have lost my mind by now without you guys
*Update*
I force fed him baby silkworm's today... He took 3 and then spit out the fourth.... How many times each day should I try this. His stomach is looking sunken and I am really worried.... I told the seller he sent me a sick dragon and he persisted he didn't and said it must be my...
Once again thank you for your help.
When I run a cut silkworm's guts on his nose he just closed his eyes like he enjoys it. But he doesn't lick his lips... I sure hope he is not inbred.... But I wouldn't doubt it as even many breeders still think you can feed them mealworms as a staple. There...
I've had him for 5 days now... And I'll order reptiboost now. He has pooped every day yet I have not observed him eat after the second a day.No red in stool and he pooped today again but it was much smaller than the first.... Though it looked back to normal.basking spot is at 40-42c
Let me try to do all this from memory
1) they can not see each other
2) I am using a 10.0 t8 tube with a reflector above chicken wire screen (home made tank)
3)I've had him for 5 days now and he only ate well the first day and the second only a freshly molted meal worm
4)I've tried to offer...
Thank you so much for your feedback.
I am using an infared temp gun.
And I soak him at least 2x a day in 40c water
Right now I'm just desperate for him to actually eat
I am going to go to a bathroom decorating store tomorrow to buy some tile... I also think there are little mites from the cocofiber I bought.... Because I see little tiny bugs crawling around... Not a lot but let's just clean it out and use some whipe out.
Also.. I don't exactly know the morph...
So I bought a very expensive beardie and a cheap one from a reputable breeder here in China. The cheap one is in top shape and eating well. The expensive one is not.
When he first came I gave him a dark and fed him some pinheads that came with his package. He ate like 4 the straight to the...
Thank you so much... it is day three now since he ate the worms and he has only eaten like 3 roaches.... I am starting to think the worst but you guy's continual encouragement is the only thing holding me together with him... Please pray if you have faith and if you dont wish him luck :\
