Please help! :(

I got my Chinese water dragon two weeks ago. He ate about four crickets his second day and two his second day. He did not want to eat anymore. So then I tried all different kinds of worms, fruits veggies etc. he still won't eat! His temps are spot on with a basking spot of 92 to 93 and the absolute coldest spot of the tank side is about 81-83 witha warm side of 85-77. He's still young. He's a little over a foot long and this is the size of his tank. I haven't handled him much besides letting roam around the room when I change his water a newspaper bedding

He was being kept on a mixture of tropical Sand and fir bark? Could this be impaction? I just searched his cage and did not find any poop. He hasn't pooped except for one time when he pooped on my hand. I find tiny creamy white urates in his water though. Any ideas?

It could be impaction if he was eating sand and bark with his food. You could switch him to paper towels until you figure out whats going on.

I'm not too familiar with the care of these guys. Sorry I can't be more helpful Hopefully others with more lizard experience can help? I only have cresties.

How are you measuring the temperature? Have you tried small crickets? What's the night time temp? Got a pic of the lizard?

[Derekroth91]

Night temps are 74-76

With prober thermometers. I've tried small crix and big crix. He's been on newspaper since I got him

Every time I take a picture to upload it exits out of the app on my phone
