I am at a lost. My beardie has been fussy about food for about 2 months. I asked everyone local that has beardies or experience with them. I was told nothing to worry about its normal. Well about 2-3 weeks ago. She stopped eating all together for 2 days, and had definitely lost weight which I had noticed before she stopped eating completely but everyone told me it was normal. I rushed her to the only reptile vet in the area. He checked her all over. She only weighed 2grams. He said she was to small to get bloodwork. He put her on antibiotic shots every 3 days. She got a total of 4 of them. He also had me start force feeding her 3 times a day. Her last visit she did gain some weigh now weighing 2.6grams.. He said he had no clue what is going on just keeping doing what I have been. That was about week ago. I am still force feeding her and giving her some water as well, she wont eat on her own or drink. She doesn't move around very much. Doesn't care to bask for very often. She is just a year old about 12inches long. Always has been small for her age. Her tank is 30L with 150watt basking bulb (basking spot stays around 110degrees), and repti sun 10.0 UVB both bulbs are 2-3weeks old. I change them every 4-6months or sooner if they blow. She is on carpet.. her main diet was Crickets, and kale. with apple, cucumber and carrot for snacks. also a couple meal worms...
I am at a lost of what to do or what is going on with her. I have read online to give her pedalyte for hydration haven't got some yet. Can anyone help me? She has had proper care since I bought her...
