Rankins Dragon barely eats

[redpanda1203]

He refuses hornworms, butterworms, crickets, and mangos. He loves to eat baby food(that's the only food he really eats, its more of a last resort), he kind of likes collard greens, but just won't eat feeders. I dust the baby food and collard greens. His tail seems like it isn't always straight, when I got him his tail would always be straight. Please help and tell me if this sounds like a parasite or something like that. Help ASAP.

Thanks for the help,
Sam

Can you review your setup and vitamins and brands? The bent tail may be related to MBD. Have you tried superworms, soldier fly larvae, and canned crickets?

Sore mouth? ? Brumation maybe?? Does he look healthy?? Got a pic?

 

[redpanda1203]

He does not have the purple tail bent thing(the one dragons with MBD get). He has a mercury vapor bulb, 40 gal tank, a 105 basking spot, 80 cool end, 2 hides on each side, a bath each week(I always leave waterbowl in tank and mist daily).He seems healthy. Here's a picture.

Can you get a better image. You can use the photobucjet app to transfer images over to your computer.

 

[redpanda1203]

I'll try to

Can you also review your brands please?

Pretty much all my stuff is zoo med, I use repticarpet not sand. And I have a question.
Can I feed him Crested Gecko diet instead of baby food? I feel like it has so much more nutrients, but I'm not sure if its healthy for them. I have a crested gecko so I have tons of the diet.

Have you gotten a better picture yet?

 

[redpanda1203]

Again I will say, you can use the photobucket app (I see you are using an iphone) upload the image then log on to photobucket on your computer to save the image. Then you can open the link for the user image feature to post it on here using the XING button.
This is important because your dragon looks skinny but it may be the poor picture quality.

XIMG excuse me

 

[NattyB]

yeah its hard to see with that photo!!

I don't mean to be pushy at this point but, if you want help we really need that image it has been a few days. Again if you are using an iphone there is a photobucket app.

Here is also the link you use to upload the image to the website then to post it use the XIMG command

I'm assuming that your absence means you fixed your issue.
