baby beardie not eating, any suggestions??

[Perefalcon]

I've tried baby food, he's in a container all by himself, he's only 6 grams and has not eaten in 2 days....some ideas would be greatly appreciated.

All the others are thriving!!

What is the temp. in the tank? Do you have UV on it?

 

[Perefalcon]

yes, the tank has UV on it. I need ideas to tempt him, not questions about the tank. everything is as it should be for a baby beardie, including a basking spot of 105 ish

Tonya-do you have any Parazap on hand?
It is a natural mixture of wormwood and other things and has proved over the years to lower coccidia levels in Beardies and stimulates their appetite
I won't hurt them-you can't OD them on it and you can make a tea and syringe feed it to them
Website is www.Parazap.com
I have used this on and off for years with a lot of success with dragons and with the recent increase in my dragon population I just ordered 2 jars

good luck with the little one

he is eating, but not enough to grow....I can see his little hip bones poking out!! can they eat waxies?

 

[LadyGecko]

Yes-they can eat waxies but as with Leos there is little nutritional value just an extra bit of fat
It sounds like they may have a parasite -either worms or elevated levels of coccidia

That's just a guess of course but the Parazap (the stuff has been used by Beardie keepers for years and it does work) will help with either problem and a fecal exam will let you know where you stand with what's exact going on inside them

good luck with them
