Still not eating and I've tried everything

Lonko77 May 01, 2004 06:10 PM

Our baby (Daisy) sleeps all day long and all night long unless we wake her up. She won't try to eat at all, I've tried isolation with crickets. I've tried baby food on the nose. I've tried hand feeding crickets. I've tried breaking the crickets legs. None of those have worked, when we put her in the feeding tank she automatically falls asleep.

Our other baby (Mira) is fine and eatting crickets great and we feed them at different time in the feeding tank, so that Mira doesn't eat the Daisy's food. It's not working. Nothing is wrong with the tank. They've been here for 3 days and Mira's normal and Daisy is lethargic. It's like she's narcoleptic. HELP!!!! We don't want her to die

Is the sickly one eating or drinking anything at all? Or are we talking ZERO intake?

How old are we talking?

When i got my baby beardie... it took him about a week to get used to his new environment... in which time he just sat and slept... a lot. No eating, very little drinking.

It seemed after he got used to his new place... then he was ok, and everything came around. Now.. he eats more than any bearded dragon ive ever come into contact with... I hope the same results for you and your pet.
