My baby bearded dragon hasn’t eaten in 5 days!

[Ryancolemann]

After all the reasearch I’ve done I’ve decoded to come on here and see if I can get other opinions. I’ve had my baby bearded dragon since July 6th.. she was eating very well up until July 16th. She wants nothing to do with anything. I’ve tried it all. Her tank temperatures are right where they are suppose to be. I just started to feed her chicken and squash baby food through syringe mixed with calcium powder. She probably takes one lick of it from the top of her nose but that’s about it. She’s very alert still and stands up straight and then lays down to bask as normal... I’m afraid that I may come home to her dead very soon and I’m already bracing myself for that. I not sure if I should take her to the vet and spend $80 just so they can tell me she has relocation stress...

Here is a picture of her near her basking spot. She seems fine and healthy but I’m afraid in a day or two that won’t be the case.

has he been chasing crickets or does he not aknowlage them at all? also has she been pooping as constapation can be a cause of this. there should be good lighting in your tank. if your tank is tii big for your beardie that can cause it aswell sometimes it really depends on your beardies. youi can maby try some prune baby food that will make him poop. if worst comes to worst you could force feed him wich might stress him but it would maby make him start to eat possibally.

She use to chase the crickets like normal now she just ignores them. She has been pooping up until yesterday she hasn’t pooped. I just made an appointment at local vet. I won’t be able to provide a fecal sample though.

try giving him a warm bath or give him 100% prune baby food with honey my beardie had constapation once and it helped alot try just putting a drop on his nose even if she just gets a bit into his system by licking it will help her but if she pooped yestarday then she might not poop but yea if worst comes to worst force feeding might have to be a option

im not a expert at bearded dragons at all but i did have a simmilar problem a few years back
