Health: Meeko is about five and a half weeks old now, he's still barely four inches from mouth to the tip of his tail. This is his first shed while in my care and he's slowed down, a whole lot. The first couple days he only ate three crickies and then he ate one, now he won't eat any of them. He just lays at the bottom of his viv, he doesn't bask, he doesn't drink when sprayed, he doesn't move. I actually thought he was dead this morning when I woke up, his eyes were closed , he looked a lot more white(probably because of the shed?), and when I went to pick him up he didn't move. He is alive though, thank goodness. So it's been three days since he last ate that crickie, I tried putting a crickie right in front of his mouth and he just closes his eyes.
Background on Meeks: Meeko was the smallest and runtiest dragon in the clutch. I'm partial to picking out the injured or the runts, so I picked Meeko. He was significantly smaller than the rest of the clutch, not sure if it makes a difference but he's also one of the three hypos from the clutch.
