Shed question

[lumpbump]

Just wondering how long baby beardies take to resume eating during shed? One of my babies that's about 8" is shedding and stopped eating for a few days. I think this is normal behavior but just wondering when she's gonna get back to eating and growing? I've been giving her doses of reptaboost daily since she's not eating. Nothing has changed in her enclosure...

Hi. Have you tried giving her a bath to help with the shedding? Is she housed with another dragon?

 

[lumpbump]

I bath both my dragons daily. She's all alone in her tank

when was the last time she pooped?

and is it a full body shed?
those are the worst! i bet she'll be cranky and refusing food until most of the skin comes off. both of mine had stopped eating during a full shed. once the skin started cracking off (especially around the body) they started eating ravenously.

She pooped yesterday while I was giving her a bath. I think its just her head and face that's in she's. My baby boy is in full body shed but he's eating like normal.

The little girl has worms . Just got back from the vet and she needs to be dewormed. Gave her the first dose of pancur today. Hope she gets to feeling better soon.

Poor baby!
Just brought Dargon to the vet yesterday and he has a lower respiratory infection.
I have to shove food in his face.
Between that and being poked at so much yesterday he is currently not on speaking terms with me. He won't let me touch him

Hopefully her recovery is fast and she won't be too grouchy.
