We rescued a bearded dragon...
and have a few problems.
his previous owner didnt take care of him it seems at all.
he is about 12" long
we have him in a 60 gallon terrarium, with a water dish and a food dish and a large wood deal for him to climb on with sand on the bottom, (silica free)
during the day, we have a ceramic heat bulb, a basking light and a long uv light.
the daily temps in his cage are about 72 on the cool side of the tank, the other side of the tank is averaging 85 and 95 to 105 where he can bask in the heat up on his log
at night we have the infared light and the whole tank drops to about 70ish...
he doesnt seem to be eating, we had him in a temporary enclosure for a week where he seemed to eat some kale we put in for him, we also gave him crickets but he hasnt seemed to eat any... he did take a big green poop in his enclosure a few days ago.
he is now in the big tank and i suppose he is getting all used to it.
but he isnt eating at all, its been 3 days now and we are worried about him!
thanx for any help!!!!
he has dug a little cave for himself under the wood as well this morning, and its not all that warm down there!
all day yesterday he sat in the basking light...
