Baby bearded question

[Flirtycuddle]

I bought 2 beardies about 3 weeks ago and one was about 6in and the other maybe 3in. I had them together but the bigger one kept gerttng bigger so I seperated out. The smaller one was just not right so I took it to the vet and treated for a few things. Here it is a month of having them and the little one is just not growing. The little one is so weak I have to litterally hold the cricket in front of it to eat and then coax eating. It is eating some greens also. I'm just wondering how long it's going to take it to be eating on its own again and back to normal. After reading a post just listed I can see this one was way to young to be taken from the parents.

Hand feed him untill he gets his energy and strength back. There are some vitamin supplements you mix with water and can feed also. i hand feed a rescue for weeks and it pulled through after almost being dead. Some are poor feeders and need assistance and to be alone so there is no competition.
Good luck.

It is all alone since I saw it just wouldn't grow. The only problem is I can only get it to eat maybe 2 crickets a day when I know it should be a lot more at this point. I have the elctrolight stuff and some other stuff im giving daily also. It seems to be improving a little bit and plan to just keep hand feeding as long as I need.

Hi,

Okay just a couple questions.
The dragons are in different enclosures now right?
What kind of UVB do you have?
Did the doctor put him on any kind of meds?

Beardies don't have parental care, so while he might've moved too young, it wouldn't be an "away from the parents" issue. Small babies are just more delicate. You can order some jumpstart online, it helps with appetites and is commonly used when beardies on put on meds.
