I have a very young bearded dragon rooming with a slightly older bearded dragon that is a 100% healthy and active.. the little guy is not interested in food at all.. im afraid his hotten blind.. his eyes are alway closed. . I tried to put food in his mouth and he wont eat it (yes I know what they eat as I said I have an older one in there that is doing just fine) I. Took a video.. so u guys can see how non reactive my baby is..

Part of the problem is you have the dragons housed together. They need to be separated ASAP. The older, bigger dragon is probably bullying the younger one. Plus you're lucky the bigger dragon hasn't eaten the little one yet.

What is your setup like? Lights, and temps?

 

[jon0965]

50v or watts for the heat tep is about 105 to 110 In basking spot and around 70 on the other side... im gonna move him outa there tomorrow.. do u think he scratched his eyes or something? I never seen them really interacting with each other.. and the little one was really weild a couple of days ago running around I couldn't even pick him up

What do you use for UVB? Both brand and type (coil or fluorescent?) What are you using to measure your temps with?

No I don't think he scratched his eye. I think he's getting picked on by the bigger dragon. Do you watch them 24/7? If not, then there is plenty of opportunity for the bigger dragon to beat up on the younger one. If I were you, I'd separate them tonight, not tomorrow, tonight.

If I have a separate tank and a separate light TONIGHT I would move them tonight.. its a bulb.. zoovilla brand.. my sister bought me the "kit" that u buy in petco.. tho I noticed the other light was too steong so I changed the light to a slightly small bulb.. and im using infra red temp gage. .

Zoovilla? :dontknow: Never heard of that. The proper UVB is a Reptisun 10.0 Fluorescent tube bulb, or an Arcadia 12% fluorescent tube bulb...

The kits that come from Petco are not recommended on this board, as they have almost NOTHING right in them. But it is what it is as you're already using it.

Can you put a piece of cardboard down the middle of the tank, just so your older dragon can't get near the younger one?

You can buy your supplies online for cheap then.

I don't know if he will be ok... I have seen different things like that, and it's due to stress of being with the bigger dragon, and the bigger dragon picking on him. It's good that you separated them!

How is he doing today?

 

[jon0965]

he's doing worst he won't eat he won't open his eyes he has a big cage for ihis own with the correct lighting and everything he barely moves and he trips when he walks and nothing changed when I hold him he bearly react and when I flipped him over he stays on his back and didn't go backup on his tummy I noticed his breathing is very slow

do you think it's time to say goodbye?
