I got my baby beardie from PetSmart 72 hours ago and he's yet to eat anything. The temperatures of his tank are good, range from 108° at the highest level on his basking spot down to 79°at the furthest point in the tank. He's still active but I'm getting worried.
I've tried putting apple and strawberry in his salad along with the BSFL, hoping he might be interested in it.
I have noticed that he's been laying in the bowl with his salad so, I'm probably going to give him a bath in a little while to see if it makes any difference.
Relocation stress can be one of the causes however i'd get a proper vet appointment as petco/petsmart usually have reptiles with pinworms and other problems that can stop them from eating as well and or shorten their life/kill them.
What size tank is he in?
What do you usually try to feed him?
What do you do to hydrate him?
Whats the uvb brand?
Is the uvb coil/compact/mvb or tube?
And what is the substrate/bedding
He's in a 20 gal long tank, with ReptiSun uvb tube. I'm using shelf liner. I've left the food in there and I've tried to hand feed him the BSFL, and tried letting them crawl around him, then put them in a baby food jar lid so they'd be in a smaller contained area.
The salad is usually collards, mustards, yellow squash or butternut squash, sweet peppers.
