Hey everyone, one of my rescue beardies Monster hasn't been eating well at all. She's never been the best eater, I think because she's ADD (Attention Deficit Dragon) haha, but now she eats next to nothing. She's about 2 years old, 16" and 300g. I rescued her about 2 months ago, when she only weighed 270g. I got her up to 335g, but then she had to start on a bunch of meds due to high parasite counts & stopped eating. I feed her dubias once every 3 days, and she'll eat 10-15 medium sized ones if I'm lucky - even that takes almost an hour. I can usually get her to eat 0.5-1ml of babyfood each day.
Anyway I got some of the Critical/Carnivore Care mix (2 parts Critical: 1 part Carnivore) from Cheryl @ beardeddragon.co, but I don't know how much of it she should be eating as there's no written guidelines that I can find. So far, I've been mixing 1/4tsp of the Critical/Carnivore Care with 1ml of probiotics and just enough babyfood to smooth it out. This ends up being about 3ml total in a syringe, which is about all Monster is willing to eat (this too takes almost an hour). Is this enough Critical/Carnivore Care to sustain her, or does anyone know where I can find standard info on that?
