About a month and a half ago I rescued this baby with another baby and a juvenile, all 3 being housed in a 20 gallon on wood chips with no proper uvb and temps. Got them home and immediately took the juvenile out, kept the babies together in a 40 gallon, because one had parasites so I treated them both with panacur. Both have always ate good and were approx 17-18g when I got them and were up to 26-7g a month later. About ten days ago I got a 55 gallon split to house them separately. I put in the same basking rock, same green carpet, same eating dishes, and each had their stuffed animal with them. Only difference was a dual reptisun 10 tube set up instead of the mvb I used before, along with basking light of course.
Put them in it and one (tiny Tim) was totally ok with it, not stressed at all just settled right in. The other who we will call Evan for now, freaked out. Just would stuff himself in the corner and breathe hard like having a panic attack. Left him overnight, next day was the same, just remained stuffed in a corner and scared to death. So I set the 40 gallon back up the way it was before, in the same spot with the same bulbs... And he calmed down right away, but hasn't eaten since. He will bask a bit and then glass surf a while, that routine all day. Still very active. Completely not interested in food though and he is losing weight fast. I've been syringe feeding for several days but he's gonna die if I can't figure out the problem, I'm at a complete loss. He was eating a ton up until I moved him
and is now nearly back to the weight he was when I brought him home. His tiny daily poops have been orange but I have been feeding squash, banana/strawberry, and chicken baby food all with probiotic and electrolyte powder mixed in. Yesterday I mixed up bee pollen, royal jelly, propolis, echinacea, grape seed extract, probiotic, calcium, electrolyte, honey, coconut oil, and a little olive oil as a generalized supplement for all my dragons. I've given Evan a dab on his nose last night and this morning. This morning he took about 5cc of a watered down chicken and pedialyte mix. I've offered finely cut greens, phoenix worms, dubia, tiny superworms, wax worms, hornworms, crickets and will not eat them. I started putting a ceramic bulb in at night to keep him at 80, house is 70.
