Need help with Beardie

[funmom]

Ok thanks Tweet.. Thats what I thought. id get the prunes and see if it helps his system and if I see blood again I would get him checked out. I do have a reptile vet.

How do I get my beardie to eat the babyfood prunes or applesauce? I put some on his greens yesterday but he never ate any.

My only guess is put it in a syringe

my guy will lick it off the spoon and his nose.

Hi,

If you syringe feed him, feed him thru the rear side of the mouth, not thru the front.
Going thru the front can cause Aspiration Pneumonia, which moves quickly, and can be deadly. Feed a little bit at a time, then a little more. You can do the same thing with water, and stage 0 baby foods, such as, sweet potatoes, squash, peas, and chicken.

I find that olive oil is easy to give. I have never tried prunes.

Sweetpea1981 is correct. Put a dab on their noses, and they generally will taste it right off their wittle noseys. lol

Also, you can buy a bag of Carnivore Care. You can buy it online, or thru your vet. Mix some with water, and syringe feed. It will make your Dragon poop! It will be liquid, but, it will work. I have seen this personally more than once. Plus, it gets important nutrients in him.

Take care.

Hi there....just wanted to ask what size + weight Draco is ? Has he been healthy + good size up to now ? Can you post a picture ? He may be just fine, as some beardies go into a slow down without totally going to sleep, and they have a snack here + there. Unless he had some trouble digesting because of the previous low temp., a superworm would be no trouble at all for an adult beardie. Hopefully his next poo will be normal looking, but if there's blood it would be good to take the sample to a vet. But it doesn't sound too worrisome, so try not to worry too much.
