Yesterday, Spike (our beardie) started acting lethargic and not eating. This morning was pretty bad. I was able to find a vet that treated Bearded Dragons on the phone to see if there was anything I could try to help him. He seemed to sad and like he was hurting...the vet essentially told me that I needed to force feed him. How do you force feed a lizard? WELL...it required either baby medicine syringes, baby food and water OR two people, one to pry open his mouth and a second to put the cricket or worm in...sounds like fun, I KNOW! I didn't have a second set of hands so I borrowed some baby food from a neighbor and off we went! His color improved a little shortly after eating a little of it and getting some water in his system too. I now have a warmer rock for him and when Kyle got home we were able to get a cricket in too. Hopefully we are on the road to recovery!
