problem with eating and pooping

[kaykayy]

we have 2 beardies, spyro, n zuko, spyro is the oldest of the 2 n he hasnt eatin for 5 days, although he is still going to the toilet once every 2 days but its more watery than usual, i have tried everythink with him and he just doesnt want to know, ive tried, greens, fruit, veg, locusts, crickets, the only thing he will have is wax worms, b4 he started turning down food he had quite alot of mealworms but then i heard that meal worms arnet very good for them so i stopped,
could there be an impactation?..but surely if there was he wouldnt be able to go to the toilet?
he looks like hes loosing weight, and all he does is lay on his basking spot n hide in his leaves..

also zuko is eating fine but her poop is very solid n it looks really dry, could she be a lil dehydrated???

thanks in advance for ur replies..

Try a unresistable food, Horn worm or dubia roach...

 

[kaykayy]

They dont supply them anywhere around here,

 

[kaykayy]

Bill hes not even eating the worms anymore n he normally loves them :/

 

[Terra Colson Nicholson]

What city and state are you in? i can see what i can find for you

dont keep them on reptisand if they are or any suibstrate theyll like to eat.reptile carpet and alfalfa pellets are best if you plan on using a loose substrate.

 

[Bill]

How old is he

 

[kaykayy]

we r in the uk, he is coming up 6 months now and we use lino as a substrate, ok thank you

 

[Bill]

what are your temps and what lights do you have

 

[kaykayy]

90 in the hot end, n we have a uvb bulb and a 100watt basking bulb

 

[Bill]

What type of UVB how far away from the basking is it and how old is it

 

[Bill]

There are many things that can cause a dragon to stop eating lights can be a big problem some can cause blindness dragons can stop eating all from lights. Temps can have a negative effect on a dragon. Stress is another big problem you can have what has changed is he seeing something different anything that can cause him to be stressed. Then there is the food the meal worms can be a problem it could now be feeling the effects of prolonged feeding. You might want to see a vet before he gets too bad.
