I work at a pet store & they have almost 1 month old bearded dragon babies. I brought one home today that isnt doing so good. He is very little & doesn't eat. I sprayed some water on the side of the tank today & he licked some of it off tho. Most of the time he just lays there w/ his eyes closed. I have a heat lamp & a UVB/UVA light on him

sweet potato baby food. mix in a little calcium/multivitamin powder and get a baby medicine syringe. put the tip of the syringe in his mouth and squeeze a tiny bit in.

Beardies LOVE sweet potatoes and teh vitamin and calcium powders may help him feel better.

Also, take him to a vet, ASAP. Period.

Amen. :)

I heartily agree with jeweledmonkee's suggestions. How hot do you have the tank, out of curiosity? But, yes. Mushy food in a syringe with vitamins, and an emergency vet visit.

Hope he gets better. :(

Your store shouldn't be selling beardies that young either. three months or six inches is the general rule of thumb. I know you posted a while ago but that's my 2 cents. hope he's doing better.
