    Really? I only got it because it was recommended to me. We did monitor him throughout the night the first night to see how he took to it and he seemed to rest easily with it on. It's hard, I guess. Just like any other animal, you've got to see what works and what doesn't for the individual :)...

    Update - First off, thanks so much for all your help, folks! Fred is doing so much better. We had to hand feed him at first but now he's mobile enough to actually catch his crickets. We've added calcium and multi-vitamin to his diet as well as water on his nose. He's since had a bath and loved...

    Ahhh, yes. The new pet crickets! And yes, that makes sense about the squash. It's obvious the water content it has, which is one of the reasons we tried to get that into him today. And yep! He definitely did much better today than the last few days :) Thanks so much for your help.

    Yes, I agree about dehydrated. The drips on his nose seem to be doing the trick, thankfully. With cooked/uncooked squash, I wasn't sure the reason behind having it cooked. We definitely always make sure the pieces of veggies he gets are small enough so if that was the only concern with cooking...

    Oh good! Brumation is a much better state to be in ;) Thank you for the advice. My husband has dropped some water on his nose and he did drink it. I'm sure it was much needed! Hopefully he continues to improve as much as he has today. Again, thank you both for taking time to help.

    Great, thanks. I've thought about dehydration and my understanding is they enjoy being in water and will generally drink their "bath" water instead of from a water dish. When our son gets home we will try him in a bath. I was going to just grate up some squash but it says squash needs to be...

    Update - With a little encouragement, Fred just ate a couple crickets as well as some veggies. My husband had to hand feed him but he ate and is looking much more alert at this point. Now I will await a nice poop from him... He really didn't care for the squash though. Perhaps too mushy...

    By saggy, I just mean his skin looks very loose compared to other dragons I've seen. Here is a picture of him. He's pretty much been in this same position for more than 24 hours. I understand about their brumation process so I hesitate to bother him as he is breathing. I've turned his lights...

    hey folks We just purchased an adult (not sure exact age but seller thought between 4-6) bearded dragon. From what I've been learning compared to what the seller told me about their regualr care of "Fred", I have a feeling that he feels as bad as he looks. We've had him for almost 7 days and he...
