No Medications
NKDA (no known drug allergies)
Living conditions: Basking spot 105' F Cool Temp 80-85'F Night time temp 70-74' F
Lighting: UVB with Calcium on greens.
Daily Meals: Crickets ( proper size), Mealworms, Romaine Lettuce, watermelon and mustard greens ( everything is not offered all at once we change it up)
Ruben approx 2 weeks ago started not eating as much no matter what we offered him.His stool started getting watery. He then proceed to turn a lighter color and then molted. He started eating better ( not a lot but better) and his stool improved. Now we are back in the same position, watery stool, not eating ( he ate Saturday 3-4 crickets and 3 -4 mealworms) possible eating some greens but very little. He has turned a lighter color again. But we notice now his getting thinner. He doesn't act lethargic he appeared normal Ruben personality. Is it possible that he is molting again? Is it normal to go through all this during this stage and this often? We have another beardie and he is healthy happy bigger and no problems and they eat the same food and they came from the same group. We just noticed also some skin hanging off his chin area. Should we try baby food? Any help?
Thanks!
