Your dragon is going thru relocation stress - how old is the dragon --- the basking temps and the UVB are going to control her behavior--- shes going to need time to acclimate to the tank and surroundings --if she quits eating all together there is a issue --- she is eating something but make sure the UVB is NOT a coil but a long tube fixture like a Zoo Med or Sunblaster or a Arcadia--- if you need more help please ask you want a 24" fixture for a 40 + gallon tank and a good UVB bulb like a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 or a Arcadia 12% bulb properly placed and distanced and a bright white basking bulb that keeps temps 105-110 for a baby taken w/ a digital probe thermometer - NO COLORED BULBS NO HEAT MATS OR ROCKS NO SAND AND NO HEAT EMITTERS FOR BASKING BULBS- the vet appt maybe a little too early to take yet -- its going to stress her out more and effect the eating- is she active in the tank basking pooping? Make sure she stays hydrated ------ are you feeding salads in the morning? If not please get some BSFL order the size appropriate for her size NO insect bigger than the space between her eyes length wise -- DO NOT dust them they will lure her to the salad bowl add them in front of her maybe hand feed a few to her first they are a great staple feeder for a baby and a good compliment to the main staple feeder use as many as the BSFL as you want let her eat out of that bowl for an hour or so then add your main staple insect if your using crickets you can disable them take a leg or two off and put them in the bowl make sure your dusting them w/ calcium D3 5 x per week ONCE per feeding and vitamins w/ beta carotene 2 x per week ONCE per feeding this is for a baby dragon --- I dont know how old your dragon is if its a adult over a year or around a year than supplement feeding is going to be different - you will need to get a glass or ceramic bowl so they can get out -- you can order the BSFL from here www.symtonbsf.com and a bowl like this that works goodI got my beardie last Monday on August 23rd. Since I've had her she's ate one cricket and a superworm. A few Dubai roaches in between. Other than that she will not eat. O have tried everything and I have a vet appointment Tuesday. Please help
I'm estimating her to be around 2 months based on her length. Her basking temp is set right at 112 and I have a t8 tube but it is mounted inside her tank. Looking around for a t5 now so i can switch them out. I give her baths which she seems to do well with. I have been able to get her to eat some mustard greens and butternut squash lightly sprayed with water. I have been dusting the Dubai roaches with calcium with d3 powder. I have gotten her to eat a few here and there. But she hasn't eaten anything yesterday or today so far which is why im stressing.Your dragon is going thru relocation stress - how old is the dragon --- the basking temps and the UVB are going to control her behavior--- shes going to need time to acclimate to the tank and surroundings --if she quits eating all together there is a issue --- she is eating something but make sure the UVB is NOT a coil but a long tube fixture like a Zoo Med or Sunblaster or a Arcadia--- if you need more help please ask you want a 24" fixture for a 40 + gallon tank and a good UVB bulb like a Reptisun 10.0 T 5 or a Arcadia 12% bulb properly placed and distanced and a bright white basking bulb that keeps temps 105-110 for a baby taken w/ a digital probe thermometer - NO COLORED BULBS NO HEAT MATS OR ROCKS NO SAND AND NO HEAT EMITTERS FOR BASKING BULBS- the vet appt maybe a little too early to take yet -- its going to stress her out more and effect the eating- is she active in the tank basking pooping?

Ok make sure your t 8 is 6-8 inches directly above the basking decor -- NO cover over the bulb check www.pangeareptiles.com for t 5-- it's good she's eating -- keep offering her food get your temps down 112 is too hot- those temps and uvb is extremely importantI'm estimating her to be around 2 months based on her length.

Are you getting the Arcadia ? A 12% bulb it is considered a T 5 --- distance should be 12-15 inches inside the tank directly above the basking decor piece -- it can be placed on top but the screen MUST BE a wide hole type of screen fine mesh it needs to be inside - top of screen distance 8-10 inches directly aboveOk thank you so much for everything.

Your dragon needs to settle in -- their eating is going to be off until he acclimates to the tank and surroundings - but you must have proper basking temps and good UVB -- that is what controls the behavior of the dragon - and his over all health as well ------------ please feed salads first thing in the morning -- you might need to get some BSFL for him/her to entice to the salad bowl -- they are small DO NOT dust them and feed as many as you want they are a great staple feeder www.symtonbsf.com you will need a ceramic / glass bowl to keep them in something like thisHappy…congratulations
