Question
I have a baby dragons 5 weeks old, it has been sheading for about a weekand not eating, we are bathing it and he perks up but he is so small and skinny, his temps are correct, he is on calci sand. we have tried baby food, veg, apple etc everything we can think of but he just wont eat. we bough two at the same time, they are in differnt cages and the other one is fine, getting bigger etc, i really dont know what to do. i dont really want to take him to the vet as im afraid the move will stress him too much. Please help.

Answer
Take him off the sand put him on paper towels or newspaper.  Put him in warm water for awhile like you have been doing return him to the tank wait maybe 30 minutes put in some small crickets like maybe 1/3 grown or so if that doesn't work pull the back legs off a few crickets and see if that does the trick also don't put a ton in at once maybe just 6 or so see how it does it should come around.
