sick frilled dragon plz help

xboxplayer Jun 30, 2004 04:50 PM

i have a sick frilled dragon. she has gotten very skinny and poops yellow. she was origenaly in a twenty gallon long tank with one other frilled dragon and a bearded dragon. the bearded and the other frilled dragon have been removed and she is in her cage alone. ive been watching her eat now she will eat about 3 or 4 crickets. i also have started to spray her with some water and she drinks it as it runs down her face.

when she was in the cage with the others she seamed to have no intrest in food so she has gotten a little better now. i was wondering if anyone has had a problem like this and what i need to do.

plz help
and thank you if you do

See a vet ASAP since she's already lost a lot of weight. She's probably suffered from long-term stress from being in a cage with the other 2 lizards.

Frilleds & bearded dragons don't belong in the same tank (completely different humdity/cage setup requirements).

I'd suggest picking up a book on both beardeds and frilleds AFTER you get that girl to a vet... there are probably major problems with how you're housing and caring for them.
