So my Dandelion is about 3 1/2 months old. She is 9 inches long from snout to tail. However, the past month, we have been battling a very resistant URI. And since starting antibiotics she won't eat on her own. She would lightly pick at her greens but would ignore all of the proteins. She also IS NOT having any of that nasty baby food! :lol: She hates it...she's a picky little stinker! She was very quickly losing weight and got down to 12 grams! Now a 9 in. dragon that only weighs 12 g was very scary, she was so thin her tail looked like it would break like a twig. Since then I have been assist feeding her insects 3 times a day alternating between phoenix worms and crickets. Phoenix worms (15-20) per meal. Crickets (20-25) per meal. So in 4 days, I have gotten her weight up to 17 grams. I'm hoping for 18 by the end of the night (she has only had 1 meal today). She is still on antibiotics for a few more days. So my question is, does anyone have any good tips for fattening this cutie back up?
