shrinking beardie?

shakey0urbutt Jun 13, 2003 01:39 PM

i got my new beardie 2 days. she was in the cage with one other dragon. In the pet store and when i held her she looked pretty big, but now shes not eating. i think shes depressed, but she looks so small now. She looks like she shrunk. What can i do to make her eat? she ate a tiny bit of lettuce but thats about it.

it takes time to settle in and adjust, for now just leave her be, make sure your temps are correct, offer her a bowl of dark leafy greens each day, dont hold her and let her come around on her own. It takes time to adjust to new surroundings, she wont starve if she doesnt eat for a few days, just be sure you leave her dragon salad in there for her, try offering her buggies in a few days time =)
