Is Max too skinny?

[jortiz9758]

Max my almost 4 yr old has stopped eating for I would say the last month...will not eat crickets , supers,hornworms or veggies at all!..He closes his eyes when I put anything in front of him. This all started when I gave him chicken baby food as a treat. He will ONLY eat the babyfood now when I hand feed it to him, from a syringe. He will have chicken,squash, mixed veggies or anything else I give him. I have not weighed him and he seems to be fine (going to soon see if he loses any)...a little lazy and just hangs out when I put him in his bathe everyday...and or take him out and put him in the sun ( Florida). I noticed that when he goes in the water I only see urate and nothing else...I dont think he is impacted ..he poops everyday but only the white urate...Could it be due to the fact that he is not having any solids?? Does he look skinny to you? ...here he is with my other younger beardie. I feed her everything and eats everything!..but he wont eat unless I hand feed him..ideas? Are the wrinkles normal?..I dont know if he has always had them?

Here is a close up from about 2 weeks ago

Max looks fine, his fat pads are nice and healthy! As for the wrinkles that means is most likely dehydrated, so give him a bath and try to get him to drink! Luke warm water works just fine...

Have you gotten a fecal yet ? That might account for something. Also try usings baby food chix and squash in a needless syringe.
