We got a bearded dragon 3 weeks ago. Was told that she was about a month old when we got her. She is barely eating anything!! She eats maybe 1 or 2 roaches a day and maybe a bit or two of her greens. We feed her collards and Dubai roaches. She was 15 grams when we bought her. She went to 17 grams and in the last 2 weeks shes down to 12 grams!!! Basking temperatures is right around 105 and the cool side is 85!! Not sure what to do!!!

The uvb is in the tank I had a 24 inch fixture so I just bought a reptisun 10.0 bulb. Hot side is 105 to 107 middle if the tank is 90 to 95 and the cool side is 80 to 85. I am using the dual head lamp but only for heat as I took out the coiled uvb bulb.

So update today, we made a reflector out of foil until I can get one. We left the light in the cage with new deflector. This morning nothing had changed!! So we made her a slurry and fed her by syringe 2.5 mls mixed with salads, bugs, raspberries, and blueberries. She immediately perked up!! She put on 3 grams today. Put her back in her cage to warm up. She ssy for about 3 hours basking and then came alive!! Shes ate 15 roaches and destroyed her salad. She is moving head up and very alert!!
