You really should take your beardie to a qualified herp vet. Silkworms are great for healing/injured dragons as they contain the enzyme Serrapeptase, which works as a natural anti-flammatory & pain reliever. It aids in healing. Another alternative for an easy feeder would be Phoenix worms. That way, your baby won't have to chase down it's food. I would definitely remove any cage furniture and simply use a slate tile only for basking.

The beardy WAS to a vet....(it's not nice to assume that he wasn't)
There wasn't anything that could be done, the poor thing was SO tiny.

He passed away sometime over the night.
Good information on the silworms, good to know should I take in another.
Thanks!

Sorry to assume... From your post, there was no way of knowing what had been done for him thus far.

Sorry for your loss
