Hi! I just got a "damaged" beardie from a local pet store. I found out they had him in the back and they didn't know what to do with him since they couldn't sell him, so I offered to take him. The story is that he was attacked by his cagemates when they first arrived as babies and he almost died fron the injuries. He is now 4 mos old but (a) has not grown at all (only 2.5" from snout to vent) and (b) won't eat voluntarily. It's not that he wants to be hand fed, he literally doesn't want the food and will fight to keep his mouth closed when I try to force feed him. Otherwise he is very alert, his poos are normal and he's an awesome little guy. Any ideas on how to get him to WANT to eat?! Many thanks!
