Alright, my problem is tha tmy one year old dragon has stopped eating to the point she is losing weight. I try to feed her every day, a variety of crickets, superworms, and hornworms but over the last 4 or 5 months her eating has slowed to nothing. It started out as she wouldnt chase after food just wait for it to come to her, then she wouldnt even eat it off the ground i had to hand feed it to her. slowly she went from a meal once a day and salad to only eating her bugs every other day, and now she shows no interest in bugs at all, actually backs away from them when i hold them in her face, and she isnt eating her salad anymore either. she has had a fecal done and the vet said he saw no signs of bacterias or parasites. she has lost 20 grams now and i am getting really worried i dont know what to do.i have been thinking of ordering reptaid to try and boost her energy and appetite and stuff do you think this would help any advice is appreciated.
the basic care info is below and as you can all see i follow the proper care to a t and have nothing but the best as far as i know. i will do anything for my beardies and dont want to lose them so please help me out.
