Eating problems

A.C.3 Jan 28, 2004 09:50 AM

My dragon hasn't been eating as well as he used to be lately. HE won't even touch his salad unless I hand feed it to him or throw some meal worms in with it (ocassionally that works). He is becoming more slim. Is there any healthy way that I can fatten him back up? THanks for the help.... This is a recent pic of him (he's about a year old).

Well, the first qustion you are going to get from everyone is: Have you had a fecal check done?
Parasites/Coccidia can cause loss of appetite and weight loss.

Agreed! Get that fecal check done if you haven't already.
