I rescued a couple of beardies about 10 days ago.I took them to a vet after rehydration,claw clip etc for a general health check. They were not seen by a reptile specialist as he is on holiday so was just a vet equivalent of a gp. Overall health was good but I was concerned about advice given...

My bearded dragon is a rescue. Long story short, the vets told me I need to get some CCF and food down him to fatten him up because he's so very underweight (amongst other things). So I've been hand feeding him because he's been showing no inclination to eat of his own accord. Even the locusts...
