Hello,
I am new to the group. We have had a bearded dragon for about 7 months now and he is doing great.
Today I picked up a beardie from my local animal shelter to foster him back to health.
He now has all the proper lighting, calcium supplements and even some of the rescue stuff for anorexic beardies.
He seems to have a hard time getting his food. He chases the crickets, but misses. It is almost as if he has the instincts, but never figured out how to hunt.
He is the same with his veggies. He tries to get them in his mouth, but can't. We have been feeding him with tweezers. He has a great appetite. Always enthusiastic about eating.
He is active and his eyes are bright. He is in much better shape than he was 2 weeks ago when he was dropped off at the shelter, he was almost dead. He is super skinny and very dull.
I don't know if he has pooped recently, the shelter cleans up so fast, so I have not seen poo from him. He just got to my house today.
I am curious if I am doing all I can to make him better. I wanted to ask people that have more experience with these guys than me.
Thank you!
