Beardies

here are my bearded dragons
i think the smaller one may die because it has stopped feeding, we have seperated it and are having to force feed it this liquid stuff that should keep it alive.
any suggestions welcome

cheers

Not too keen on the woodchip; it's pretty dangerous for beardies.

What's the vet said about the one that's not eating?

Nice BD !

havent been to a vet yet m8 but if it continues to not eat over the next few days then we will probs go but no sure they can do anything about it.

what type of substrate (flooring) would you recomend for them then?

Cute beardies As was mentioned in your 'reptile room' photo thread, your beardie may well perk up if you offer him a UV tube and heat spot

it wont be able to digest its food properly with incorrect husbandry ie no heat source or uv

They won't be able to do anything if you leave it too long; it's condition will become too bad. If you take it now, there's a good chance that the vet will help it to pull through.

They look pretty small, so I'd recommend a solid flooring - paper / tiles etc. And it would also be good to learn how to look after them, as explained on your "reptile room" thread.

the bd has started eating again and is looking better, slightly more active and got a tad heavier cheers for advice
