I have a baby beardie that is not shedding since I got him. I have had him for 3 weeks now and I heard they were supposed to shed weekly. He is 2 months old, he is starting to slowly eat on his own but I am still having to feed him most of the time (force feed). I feed him small crickets, small roaches, and also blended varieties of pellets packed with the nutrients/calcium that he needs with a mixture of + kale, strawberries and crickets and syringe feed him, I also have him drink water out of a syringe as well. He seems to like the roaches I feed him. He has a 20 gal. Tank for now, his basking area (yes it is a UV light) is at 104°.
He does not like to move much...I have yet to see him active but 1 time when he convinced himself he can fly, jumped off my hand and onto my chest and nuzzled his cute self under my hair and drifted to sleep again.
Is it improper lighting? I dont know about the UV light, i just bought it from a local reptile store and they said it is the best UV light for the little guy.
Also, one of his claws are missing. Is that bad? I dont know what happened but its been missing since I got him, I doubt thats relavent to anything butt still I wanted to ask.
So yeah, not shedding, barely moves, and claw is missing.
Any thoughts??
