Beardie pale not eating, threwup crickets HELP!

[kpitman01]

Max is about a year old. A few weeks ago he threw up his crickets and does not want to eat now. He will eat some vegy's as long as we hand feed it to him. We took him to vet, she gave him B12 shot and a shot for hydration. He is now hiding under log and still will not eat. Any advise?? His lights were changed out about a month ago and he was doing fine so we don't think it is his lighting.

What Type of Lighting Are u using

 

[kpitman01]

we have a 150w (in a 40 gal tank) for basking and i think it is an 18" 7%uv light. We have used both types of lighting since he was a baby. (we switch out the lights about every 6 mths)

how hot is the basking apot?

how long have u had him?

what is the brand flourescent tube light your using? should be a reptisun 10.0?

and the basking spot should be at 105-110

try baby food chicken turkey and squash..hope he gets better

we have had him since november 2008, we got him as a baby. The vet also said to try babyfood.. she said squash and pumpkin. I wasn't sure if i could give him chicken turkey so i will get that also. Reptisun 10.0 is the one we have. Basking spot is 101 - 102. Thank you for your help. Hopefully he will start eating the babyfood.

try putting him under the basking area, and he should be 6-8 inches from the reptisun bulb aswell your welcome get the organic babyfood with no fillers in it

So, you're using a Repti-Sun 10.0 fluorescent rather than an 18" 7%uv light? If so, that's good that you aren't using the 7% brand anymore. You mentioned that you're using a 150 watt basking bulb? That seems like a lot of wattage for a 40 gallon tank. Are you using either a digital thermometer with probe or a temperature gun to check the temperatures? Is he basking quite often or does he tend to lay on the bottom of the tank? Hope you can get some baby food into him, mixing some chicken or turkey with squash and diluted slightly seems to work out very well, hopefully he will lick some off his nose. Also be sure to keep him well hydrated.
