I have a little bearded dragon I have had for about 2 weeks now.. he first ate really good and i gave him meal worms and crickets... Out of the 10 crickets he ate about 7 and then lost interest in them so I switched back to meal worms.. Then he started shedding and since then he does not want to eat and sleeps all the time. I was told to give him baby food to get him interested in food but he will not eat it by himself I have to finger feed him and he only eats a little bit.. I am giving him baths twice a day and he is almost done shedding. It has been like this for a week now.. And when I give him a bath he sleeps thru it unless I wake him up.. He is about 6 inches long and I am very worried about him.. His basking spot is 100 to 105 and his cool side is about 80 degrees. He does move around but about 90% of the time he is sleeping..
What should I do I am very worried about him and I have become very attached.
In reading other post I found out that I have been doing his lights all wrong.. I though he had to have 100 degrees all the time and 80 degrees on the cool side.. The girl at the pet store told me to turn the lights off it they get over that above amount.. I am leaving the lights on all the time.. am I making him lethargic? Is this all my fault? I feel terrible... I just took him out and fed him a little carrots (baby food) and gave him another bath until he insisted on climbing out. I have his light on now but just the basking one.. Should I turn it off it is about 6:15 pm
Thank you
