hello i have a few questions about my beardie peaches. she is from a rescue and we have a huge problem with her not wanting to eat veggies. i have been feeding her unsweetened apple sauce and veggi baby food with a syring and pieces of greens i pop in to her mouth between crickets and meal worms. i also soak her for 20min every day. my problem is that she has only been pooping once a week. it big and dry looking with noticable parts of bugs in it like legs and such. her basking temps 105 taken with a digital probe whats going on?
Let me ask you this, are the areas around her eyes sunken in ?
You may want to offer baths every day to help hydrate her, as this may be an issue. Also try to offer less prey insects until she is able to pass easily. What are your basking temps ? If basking temps are not high enough this can also cause issues with digesting completely.
Basking should be between 100-120*F depending on the age of the dragon. Older dragons tend to prefer closer to 100, while younger dragons tend towards the 120's.
Hope this helps you out !
Janie.
she gets a warm 20 minute bath everyday. and her basking temps are at 105. i have also been giving her a little water orally to make sure shes getting enough
