My Bearded dragon is not growing a bit worried. help anyone?

i have 3 bearded lizards. 2 are growing well n big. they are abt 27cm long and the only one that is seems not to be eating as much is 16.5 cm long. for a few weeks he seem not to be eating well n seem tired. also it is not sheading skin. i have been feeding it normally as the other 2 , so i dont understand why it is not growning. is this normal ?at most it eats 2 small silkworms n 1 cricket a day and it will stop eating. is it because of winter that it slows down his eating? please help.

he might stop eating all together so he might feel threatend by the other 2 maybe take the others out of the tank for a while and try and feed him on his own, for the shedding keep the humidity up in the tank spray the cool end with warm water and let it all steam up, he might be slowing down for the winter, try and keep them seperate and see if his condition improves


good luck
Reply:I hope you have a permit for them. You should take him to a specialist vet if he doesn't start eating soon. Check it's neck, jaw and inside it's mouth in case there is something going on there. Are you misting them like you're supposed to ?There seems to be a lot of veterinary help online if you look around.





I had a look around andfound this..

Reply:Have him checked by a vet. I had one that died of some sort of worms in his intestines. If that is what it is then they will give him a shot and he should be back to normal in about a week.
Reply:If it is winter, they will slow down or stop eating, but that sounds extreme, if they are all the same age and in same housing. I'd take it a vet to be sure, also separate it from the others in case it spreads disease! Good luck.
Reply:hi there


try placing it in a separate tank or container and feed it... it may b/c it's getting intimated by the other 2 ...as well beardies grow at different rates ... the winter shouldn't have any thing to do it as long as u keep ur temps the same ... u could try butter worms they are more fatty and will help it along ...i breed beardies


hope this helps
Reply:I am guessing you have them all in the same enclosure? If so, the reason is dominance. They will not all grow at the same rate, because the others will eat more, and they will bask more and get more UV. If they are together, seperate them now.





Do they sit on top of eachother? That means they are not getting the proper heat or UV. Most people don't take this into consideration. Keeping bearded dragons together is very dangerous. One will ALWAYS be smaller and this is the reason. Bearded dragons do not share. They get whatever they can, and the smaller one is always going to suffer.


Anyone who has actually done their research on bearded dragons would know that they are SOLITARY animals and cannot be kept together unless you are breeding.





That's another thing to worry. If you have male and female together, the female is going to be overbred. She will be stressed out, and you're going to end up with eggs.








Otherwise, you need to get a vet checkup.
