I bought my dragon from petsmart last weekend (I know the woman in charge of the reptiles she has 3 beardies). I'm thinking he's 3-4 months old 10" long.
When I brought him home he ate 5 crickets & a couple peas. Ever since then I've had a really hard time getting him to eat. I've never seen him eat any veggies even when I hold it in front on him. He sees to no longer chase bugs. I try feeding him crickets twice a day but he'll only eat maybe one. He's gotten pretty lethargic & always trying to bury his nose in somewhere dark (or on me) or bask. I don't see him leave his basking spot much, even thought my temps are bang on. Today I assist fed him 3 butterworms for the fat content because I'm worried he's too skinny.
He has been pooping everyday even though not eating.
This evening I noticed his mouth/nose had some dark/gray scales. I don't think it's mouth rot, but not sure. It wasn't there all week I've had him, or even earlier today.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'm really worried about my little guy. I haven't named him because I'm worried I'm going to lose him.
