Hi thank you for everyone who has helped out with our new baby bearded dragon for some context we got a baby bearded dragon from pet smart about 4 days ago I have been extremely stressed trying to provide the best care for our little baby
After learning about how petsmart does not really care for their animals I am very nervous about my baby dragons health i’ve heard a lot of stories now about people getting their bearded dragons from Petco or Petsmart or chain stores and I’m dying so I decided to take mine to the vet
Just by looking at the baby dragon they said that it is very alert and responds to touch the teeth in the mouth are good looking The only thing they said was that he was a little thin we will continue to feed him or her roaches is there any other Foods anyone recommends to have him or her gain some weight
Another thing is that our baby bearded dragon is not drinking water I’ve tried putting in a water bowl and I’ve tried soaking and putting water on his nose and whatever I do he doesn’t seem to want to drink it I’m getting concerned because he really hasn’t drinking water since we’ve got him
Recently we’ve gotten a temperature probe to accurately take the temperature of the inside of the tank we have a 40 gallon tank and today I exchanged my hundred watt lightbulb because the temperature was only getting up to 88 and I exchanged it for 150 W so hopefully it will get hotter
The vet wanted to do a test for
atadenovirus but it was very expensive so I decided to hold off and because the vet said he wasn’t really displaying symptoms of it. It’s just always good to get baby bearded dragons tested because it’s a pretty common disease. please help me what should I do
