Sorry you are having some trouble with your dragon!
Have you posted pictures of him, along with the tank setup as well so we can see it all?
What supplementation are you giving him & how often do you get that to him?
If he is losing weight, I would recommend getting him on some powdered food supplement
such as herbivore care or critical care possibly, or you also can use chicken or turkey baby
food mixed with sweet potato or squash baby food, to get nutrition into him.
How long have you had him?
I've had him about 2 weeks now. It's a National Geographic branded multivitamin and supplement. I offer him dubias twice a day, the first feeding being dusted every other day. When he was eating on his own, he would lick up a little of the powder as well. I haven't posted a full setup picture because it was constantly changing and I had half of it blocked off with boxes until today. He's still active, he's not lethargic to the point that I'm concerned about him dying on me. It's just more of him laying around a bit more than usual as well as him being even more picky about when he eats than he already was. When I first got him, he would eat on his own every time I offered it to him. Then it changed to me having to put dubias in his tank and he would eat them on his own terms. Now he doesn't seem to have much interest at all. I'm going to shoot AHBD a message as well to see what he thinks. I'll try to get some pictures of his enclosure for you guys in the meantime

He's just a baby, probably around 5 inches longAHBD":nwidj9kz said:Hi there, please do post pics of Jojo + his set up. Is he just a baby or larger ?
They are 1/4 inch dubias. He's definitely been pooping. He went about 2 days without but did last night and sometime today while I was moving some furniture. I make sure to clean it all out but I did notice some undigested chitin today. Everything else has been normal. He wouldn't even chase crickets when I first got him so I ordered the dubias and he loved them until about 4 days agoAHBD":1mwpc8xx said:He is very small but that doesn't automatically mean he won't do well. Still, I agree that something's wrong. Can you post what size the dubias are that you were feeding him ? A pic of them next to a penny or dime. If the bugs were too big they can cause impaction. Has he been pooing ? And did you get him from a store ?
I'm not sure how I would mount it inside the tank. Maybe I could improvise something to hang from the mesh? I have some of the omnivore critical care here but I'd probably want the actual carnivore variant right?AHBD":2d16wuz1 said:Try to get some of the food supplement that another poster mentioned, either Carnivore or Critical Care by Oxbow. You might also try the baby food and or Repashy Grub pie. If he's a pet store baby he may have other issues, hopefully not ADV. It may also be that getting the uvb closer might perk him up. If you have a t8 it's a bit far from him.
WOW! That's half the distance for the T5! I was thinking the UVB was fine where it was because I saw the measurement for the T5 and thought it was the same. I feel so uninformedKarrieRee":1u4kka00 said:6-8 inches I believe they recommend for the T 8--
