I have three bearded dragons .My first was christmas .Then about two mths. I took in two sick dragons .They were very bad off .Were to start ?? They were On dirt like gravel from outside so I got them off this and put them on filter playsand .They were together so got a tank diver in a 55gal tank . They did not have a UVB light on them at all so I got one to fit the hole tank .I gave both of them a basking light .I have the tank temp. up to 100 on both sides they also have a cool spot that is 86 they have a log and a rock to climb under .The small one was inpacked . I took them to the vet . Were I found out they had round worms . They both were gave meds.The Big male I named samson Is big and doing great .He is eatting greens ,Crix , Apples, the smaller one would not eat .They vet said I should give him baby food two droppers full a day .(I Had to do to my baby when I first got her) I found out they get spoiled so I give him vegg. every day and give him crix but he still will not eat them .I have now stopped with the baby food. I am opening his mouth and putting the crix in .He is eatting them that way ,But it is like he is having a hard time chewing them .But he will not eat on his own ....I don't know if this will hurt him or if I should keep doing this . He is pooping . but not actting like the others . He is 1 1/2 years old .The only thing he does is sit on his log and bask. I can't think of any thing els you would wont to know so any help I would love Thanks
