[QUOTE="SpaceCatsAZ, post: 2000389, member: 116211"] SO and I got a baby beardie about a week ago from a work friend. We have many a reptile so we thought "great!". We gave him a 10 gallon with paper towels as substrate, basking rocks, hide and a heat lamp and a 10.0 uvb. The rock formation is set up so he can go multiple levels to bask to regulate, and the lights are both pointed at his rocks for a full sun effect. (per arcadia latest info) Big issue though. When we got him he was dehydrated and obviously under weight. He is 5 grams total weight. The first night he ate 1 tiny meal worm and a few tiny veggies, next night the same. third day he wouldnt eat at all. We gave him an (zoo med) electrolyte bath 3 days ago, and turned his lamps on at 11am for a change. Hes constantly basking, so we figured he wasnt getting enough sun time. He didnt eat that night either. He did seem more alert after these two things the next morning. He was regulating well and seemed much more alert. That night though still wouldnt eat. So last night another electrolyte bath, and he pooped a pretty big poop and peed a few times. We then tried to syringe feed repti boost in a small syringe and the little bugger REFUSED to unclamp his mouth or have his mouth pulled or pushed open in any way. Best we could do was get some on his gums. Tried every trick Id researched, nada. So in defeat we left him some finely chopped carrots, squash, bllueberries, and 4 meal worms in his bowl and covered him up. Were pretty sure he ate some squash and come carrot, and again 1 meal worm. Pooped a tiny poop. He wont eat crickets at all so we didnt offer. He seems very alert but yet just basks constantly. Im worried sick and im out of ideas and research. I think with the spritzing, the baths and such hes at least peeing good now I guess. Hes just so tiny and boney, you can see his hip bones. [/QUOTE]
