Skinny Bearded dragon?

[lizardboi17]

Alright, I know this is probably too soon to update, but this is what he's looking like now. I've been bathing him once a day now and I feed him some water as well as misting him. He's more alert when water is given to him and a few hours after feeding today the amount of the crickets in the enclosure was less than half. I think he's doing better but I'd like to know what else I can change.

As soon as I can I am getting a new thermometer and hydrometer. I think he's doing better than he was doing.

Hi there, he is thin but looks alert + otherwise healthy. Has he poo'd since he had the superworms ? He is too small for anything other than small supers, and even then they are not a good staple insect. Once a dragon eats them they can either become impacted if the dragon is small like yours + the supers are medium/large ] or they get spoiled and won't eat the other insects [ crickets ] because the dragon is waiting for his new favorite.

You say that half the crickets that you put in are gone, is it possible they are hiding ? They are good at that so look at all his cage decor + under everything.

If he DID eat the crix, then it's a good sign. Also good if he's drinking some.

He has not pooed since I had given him the superworms(which trust me is something I am never going to give him again) but I can't feel anything solid in his stomach when I massage it. I looked around everywhere for the cickets but I coulnd't find the rest of the ones I had given him, so he most likely ate them. I also gave him endive as that is his daily green and he ate most of it! He seems much more alert now which I think is good. Soon I'm going to be able to mount the UVB light inside his tank and tomorrow I am getting a new basking light, basking light fixture, thermometer, and hydrometer. I only wish I had known all of these things sooner, even with research I didn't know these things.

Suggest you count the crickets that go in, and then next day before his first meal , remove all the furniture and catch any hiding / rogues and count them (they go back in the cricket tub. This way you will know for sure how many crickets were indeed eaten.

I'll take the branches and the other hide out so the hiding crickets won't be hiding anymore. Anything else I can do to help him?
