My baby bearded dragon has had one eye closed for about a day, and I was waiting to see if maybe he would open it up eventually, but today both of his eyes are closed up and he hasn't ate since yesterday morning. I try to hand feed him but he gets scared because he can't see. He hasn't moved much either. I haven't changed much from when he was healthy, except I have added giving him a few small mealworms to his diet, as his size seemed to allow it. He is still pooping, although it seems to be more grey than black. I'm very worried. When I tried to pick him up a little (he was hanging off his hammock) he got very frightened. He didn't ever really allow me to pick him up yet, so I avoid it if I can...
He is a little over a month old. I bought him with another one, but recently separated them, maybe a week ago.
Our tank is 4 feet long and 12 inches deep, a 50 gallon tank. We have reptile carpet, a 100 watt Sunglo light, and a 75 watt basking spot light. The tank is approximately 100 degrees in the daytime, and 65 degrees at night. I keep water in the tank. He has grapevines, and two hammocks under the basking bulb, and a hiding spot on the other side of the tank.
Maybe the tank is too big for him right now? I just don't know what to do...
ALSO-Part of his tail fell off after I bought him. The woman who sold him to me told me he got nipped by another dragon. It was bent when I bought him, and from the bend up turned black and died and fell off. Now there's a tiny scab looking thing on the tip, and I'm hoping it's not working its way up. It is very small, so I can't really compare it to anything....he's a little guy.
