I force feed him 3 meals of gutloaded 5/8 crickets about 7 to 10. Today I drop one drop of water in his mouth from 1oz of water to 2 drops of elctrolyte with d3. I offered him Nature Zone Bearded dragon bites he ate a little bit on his own and even chased down 1 cricket on his own tonight also ate a mealworm from the dish. so hopefully tomorrow he will eat a little bit more on his own. Vet said it's probably stress from not mantaining a cricket free night of rest. No immpaction vet gave him a laxative and has had a normal duke on his own after a force feeding. Vet broke the bank scale on hold for a little bit. He doesn't drink water during baths so I'm worried about hydration. Bought new cricket gutload greens chunks of water and food for the crickets instead of greens and dogfood. Hoping for a better day don't want a dead lizard. Always appreciate any good advice, Thanks
