Chunky.... Again

[BeardedDragonLover11]

Hello I haven't been on for a while but that was because my laptop needs repaired, so I am logged in on my phone now. So, another problem, and like the one before, he won't eat. You guys might be surprised that he's still living, but he's eaten a few greens and stuff but I will post pictures of how skinny he is. If he won't eat, how does he get calcium? He doesn't. And he hates force feeding. I give him baths every couple days, but last bath he kinda, I don't know, bit the water? Well he had his mouth wide open and I'm like "what"?But he's been biting a lot of things recently....... I'll get into that later. So yeah, he's been pooping and everything there is good, but he head bobs CONSTANTLY and like I said about biting things, yeah, (is it bearded dragon mating season or something?) he grabs it, then shakes it around, and mates-well tries to- with it. What the heck!?

He won't eat, he barely drinks water, he's barely getting water even though I provide it for him, the head bobbing, etc. any help???? And in the process of taking these pictures, Chunky accidentally bit me while trying to get to his stuffed animal.... Thanks, BeardedDragonLover11

Thanks. He makes his belly go out when he's eating, which I don't know if that's normal, lol but that makes him look a lot fatter! His favorite foods are blueberries and mealworms. He would occasionally have some peas and corn, and honestly I don't know if corn is good for him. I know mealworms aren't really good for him, but I have some grasshoppers and crickets too. Those things he can't have all the time, and I would try to use the baby food but he hates force feeding. Is he hungry? Doesn't have enough calcium? Dehydrated? I think he's possibly all. He likes nectarines, is that good for him?

Thanks, BeardedDragonLover11

Does he like rocket or stuff. Ours loves it and basil. Try him with small locusts. I don't know how big your dragon is but try not to feed him any thing that is wider than the distance between his eyes. Mine also likes carrot and apple now and then. x
