Baby Beardie

Question
Hey Tracie
its me again =] i was wondering if you could help me figure out if theres something wrong with my baby beardie its been a week already and everything seemed fine. but now suddenly my beardie isnt active anymore... she hasnt ate for the past 4 days either. she seems to always be sleeping, moving from one end of her tank to the other and just lays there. ive noticed that she keeps her eyes closed, every now and then she opens them (appears as if shes squinting) and closes them again. she would eat everyday that i fed her until now. im very worried. please help.

Answer
Hello Pamela,

I would be happy to help you & your little baby.
What type & brand of UVB are you using a fluorescent tube bulb or a compact/coil light?
How close is the light to him?  What type of basking light do you use, a bright white light or a colored light?
What are the temperatures in the tank?  Do you use a stick on type of thermometer,a digital probe or a temp gun?
Do you have any pictures of her?
If he is not eating you can try getting some baby food such as chicken or turkey to feed to him.  Use either a plastic dropper or a plastic syringe & drip the food on the end of the nose.
