New bearded dragon not eating.

[CooperDragon]

That's great news! He looks pretty healthy (with a tail that's definitely about to shed). His enclosure also looks very good. Nice big basking area and some levels to climb around on.

Funny thing is that he almost never uses the "stairs", he just jumps straight up or down from the platform (~8"), pretty good jumper !

 

[CooperDragon]

Yeah they do like to jump, especially the little guys. Just make sure he isn't jumping from much higher than that and there isn't anything he can hurt himself on by jumping. Sometimes they don't think things through when they take a leap so we have to watch out for them a bit.

I think he has turn a corner, after still eating little in the last couple weeks, i gave him some repta-aid last week and he seem to finally have a proper appetite in the last 4days.

Fr: 9 Med crickets, 15 Med PW and 3 Sm dubias
Sat: 7 Med Cricks, 5 Med PW and 2 Sm dubias
Sun: 6 Med cricks, 11 Med PW
Mon: 6 Med cricks, 14 Med PW and 7 Med 1/2" dubias (so far)

That's more like it. He was at 27 grams Thursday AM and now he is at 32 grams, so hopefully he keeps that up.

He is now 9.75 cm (.75 gain in 3 weeks) to snout and 24.5cm(1.5 cm gain in 3 weeks) overall, so I think I can start to relax a bit.

That's very encouraging progress!

Haven't updated in a while but he is doing good now (he hit 100gm and 12.5" length today)

First 2 months he was growing very slowly, he probably had some parasites because eventually after I did some antibiotics and pinworm medicine + reptaid everything got much better he is growth rate tripled from then on (plus big hornworms helped too)

That's a nice steady growth curve! Sounds like he's doing well =)
