Lethargy and feeble attempts at eating. Vet is no help.

You can put a towel over any area that is open screen or you can get cardboard boxes to cut on one end to fit around the tank . Either that or just get a bulb that is about 15 watts stronger.

And I wondered if you had used vitamin powder ....beardies wouldn't get hypervitaminosis A [ that I know of ] without having been given lots of vit. powder. It's different than calcium D3.

Hmm...I see your point. That's...Interesting. I'll ask when they call me for the stool sample. I think I'll come in for a blood sample as well. Come to think of it I don't think I mentioned that I recently started the vitamin powder.

If Ziggy's poop is runny because of the Critical Care does he need it anymore or do I need to give it to him through a different medium. I've been giving him small amounts with a feeding syringe

If Ziggy is eating smoothies and bugs you really don't need critical care, maybe 1-2X a week. Is he more energetic now ?

As mentioned earlier, he is eating greens and crickets but with my help. He still appears to have no appetite. But his energy is still high and I bumped up the temp in his enclosure by a bit so he should be on his way to recovery.
