[QUOTE="mactac, post: 2015619, member: 117478"] Hi Tracie - thanks so much for your reply :) The bulb is an Arcadia 12% 24W bulb, it's pretty close (8 inches or so), but going through the screen top. We are feeding her: Exo-terra Dragon grub juvenile: [URL="https://www.dyno.ca/produit/dragon-grub-juvenile/?lang=en"]Exo Terra Dragon Grub Insect Pellets for Juvenile Bearded Dragons[/URL] Fluker's repta-boost (mixed about 50/50 with the dragon grub) Boost & appetite stimulant: [URL]https://www.amazon.ca/Fluker-Labs-Insectivore-Carnivore-Supplement/dp/B000634CL4[/URL] Fluker's liquid vitamin: [URL]https://www.chewy.com/flukers-liquid-vitamin-reptile/dp/126163[/URL] (about a drop a day) Fluker's Repta Calcium with Vitamin D3 (a bit mixed in with her food) We syringe feed her twice a day, usually about 2ml each time. Before we feed her, we always offer her live food - usually soldier fly larvae or small superworms. We can trick her into eating these, but she won't eat them on her own. We actually just got some bee pollen yesterday, and will try to mix some of that in with her food (maybe 10% mix?) We will try the molasses too. It has been about 4 weeks or so now since her antibiotic was done. Her parasite meds only about a week. She has not eaten on her own in about a month and a half now that I look at the dates. We got her when she was likely about 4 weeks old, and I think she was already sick with the RI when we got her. So, we had her about a week before all of this started happening. So much stress on the little girl. Here are some pictures of her setup, we are using paper towel until we get things sorted out and stable. This fixture on the right is a ceramic heater for night time, the one on the left is the basking light - 150W. She spends all of her time up top in the hammock, almost as if she's always trying to get more heat/UV, but we have experimented with more of both, and it just seemed like it was getting into dangerous territory.
