Hi There.
My bearded dragon died (a baby) two weeks in. When we got him he seemed weak and we were told it's he's still adjusting (not really eating). I talked to this board and you gave me good advice and he perked up, then he got weaker last night and this morning he died. He never was able to catch the crickets easily. He drank, but when i wet him. He never moved well. Is it possible he was sick to begin with? We got him from Petco.
Also, my wife took him out and held him while i cleaned his tank or to give him bank. Not often and not for long times and we washed our hands prior. We also let him wash in the sink. I am very cautious (i am a worrier) but now i am worried we killed him holding him.
Is it bad to get from Petco? I live in NY, we want a second, but first we want to clean everything out (in case he had a disease that will stay in the tank) and some research first.
He was awesome, it's really sad. Even in a short time you could see he was an interesting pet, just watching him hunt (and fail) and move in his sleep.
Thank you,
