Well, this is the bitter sweet part about working at a pet store. We take in animals that people don't want anymore, and we get to see a lot of results of neglect. This time, someone has brought us a half dead bearded dragon. They said it's a year and a half old (it's only about 8 inches long). It's too weak to walk much, and it's lower jaw seems to be pliable (probably the result of too little calcium or improper lighting...most likely both). It's eating a couple mealworms and waxworms, as well as some small slices of fruits like grapes. It can't catch or swallow the crickets yet, and it's so weak, greens stick to its tongue and it can't get them off to swallow. We're also giving it pedialite 3 times a day. We're giving it the fruit flavored (it preferred it over the normal)...is there anything artificial in it that would cause problems? Also, is there ANYTHING else we can do to help it recover? We have it under high UVB lights, the temp/humidity is perfect, it's out of the way so customers can't disturb it, it gets the worms and grapes fed to it twice a day (as much as it'll eat), and the pedialite 3 times (usually 2cc at a time). Anything else? Thanks so much!
