today he is looking pretty good.his skin is still sorta wrinkled but is better. his eyes are not sunken at all anymore BUt they almost look "droopy". likeunder his eyeball his bottom eyelid is a bit droopy and there is like a space between his eye and eye lid. this is both eyes. i wonder if that is like the "inbetween stage" of sunken eyes and healthy eyes? i bought him some superworms and he ate about 30. this is his first time with superworms so i dont know how many is a normal amount. if u fed then b4 what is a typical amount for a beardie to eat in 15 min?

Sounds like he is starting to get hydrated. :blob5: Keep up the daily baths. You may still want to give him some pedialyte via syringe, also. I have read when introducing new feeders, just start out with a few. It might cause a stomach upset. :roll:
Since he has already eaten 30, I would just wait and see how his system handles it, and adjust. Hugo is still too young for supers. He is only 15 inches. Once he hits 16", then I definitely plan on introduce them to him.

i am already seeing a difference. he is looking even better. and today i watched him do some of his funniest behavors ever tha he hasnt done since he stopped eating. he chases his reflection up and down the side of the cage(not aggressivly and not attacking, just chasing.). he did that for about a half hour before going to bask again. it also looks like he ate some greens today too. i will try more superworms later!

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
