Are they housed together? Is so this is a problem and they should be separated ASAP---- and this would be the reason- what are you using for a UVB? Basking temps what are they and how are you taking them?
Never been together not even the same room.. during day lil guys basking I'd around 100-104Degrees lost of shade to hide on other side and I have a t5 strip light on a 20 gallon cage.. he eat around 15-20meal worms a day calcium added to water 2x a week. And a soak once a week.
Ok please no more meal worms they are too harsh on his stomach - please get the T 5 w/ no screen directly above 12-15 inches of decor-- please get him some BSFL order large do not dust-- the calcium in the water is not good unless your actually feeding him-- please get another staple besides the BSFL like crickets or dubia roaches-- those need to be dusted 5 x per week once per feeding w/ calcium D 3 and vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 x per week once per feeding-- he needs salads every morning-- you can use the BSFL as lures to the salad bowl-- he's going to need a bigger tank soon - I recommend a 75-120 gallon-- basking temps are being taken w a digital probe thermometer? I can post websites for insects / worms if you like and a nutrition website as well
I was doing crickets he will not eat them. Yes to the digital therm. He had stopped eating shortly after I got him and I had to force feed him. I use repti boot with Vitamins. There is a local girl who is having the same problem I think from the same litter. Got hers a week after me and it stopped eating now doesn't grow.. could it be the breed?pictures below are jan. To may. I did find a micro breed very rRw that he looks alot like. And why would one grow normal but not the other with the same set up?
Hes a pretty little thing but looks like a normal dragon to me--- and that last pic is that recently? OMG if it is-- I cant answer that question -- but I am going to see if I can find out -- the dragons have the same set up ?
Yes that is him as of May first. He did a full body shed since then but it was his first full body shed. Yes Same setup but now the bigger one has been moved to a 120gallon tank. He was getting to big for the 20 gallon. I have called vets within an hour drive and no one is taking new reptiles. I've been at a loss for months.
He may just be a pogona minor (dwarf dragon)
Thank you so much he is so sweet and very loved.. my lil dude.. I hope he grows but if not he's still perfect. He did become calcium deficient early on so I force fed him and he got better. He had just stopped eating . He now only eats vegetables and meal worms occasionally cricket.
They may be farther apart than I thought. I know lil dude might have been only 2 weeks qhen I got him I got him From my hometown pet store . The other guy I got from petsmart. But he's deff. 5 months I got him in January.
He is too small for meal worms -- please get him some BSFL from here www.symtonbsf.com do not dust them they are calcium enriched-- add them to his salads feed as many as he wants - another good staple feeder are dubiaroaches they will need to be dusted w/ calcium D 3 5 x per day ONCE per feeding and vitamins w beta carotene 2 x per week once per feeding--
