My beardie is sick :(

[ericm.palacios]

He's about 3 Months old. For the past few days he hasn't eaten much and now he lets the crickets just climb on him. Now all he wants to do is sleep. He keeps his eyes closed for most of the day. I tried to feed him by hand, but he doesn't want anything. I've given him a bath every day in warm water to keep him hydrated. I don't know what else to do.
Any suggestions?

What uvb and % are you using?
What are the temps?
What are you measuring with?
How old is your beardie?
What is the substrate?
What are you feeding for greens?

The temps are 101 on the warm side and 80 on the cool side. I'm using a digital therm to measure. I'm using an 8% UVB if im not mistaken. He's about 3 months old. Substrate is liner from petco. For greens i give him collard greens.

When you say 8%...what is the brand?
I would pop up the temp just a bit. 105-110* is the best for a baby.
I would also grab his next poop. You can have any local vet run a fecal to test for parasites.

I'm sorry I meant a T8 UVB bulb

Never used one of those. Honestly the best ones are there now are the 10.0 Reptisun. The give off the most uvb without any harm to your beardie.

What are you using for a heat bulb? Like I said bump up those temps. You can use a regular household bulb for heat.
