    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

im thnking about giving this stuff a shot, usually i would say its a bunch of useless crap to just sell to ppl who will buy anything. but in my case i have a juvi bearded who is now being extremely stubbern with his eating....nothings changed in his cage at all and he went from eating like a champ every day to only a little here and there his body weight hasnt dropped at all but he was growing like a weed and now just wont eat much for whatever reason i dont know....hes in a melamine cage hot sides avg is 100 cool side around 80 he has his hide log/perches a reptisun 10.0 as well...all bases seem covered but he just is being stubbern....i tried dubias which he used to go nuts over, crickets, supers, collards, mustards...everything hes slowed down on drinking a bit too so i try and give him gatorade at least once a week....so the question is, has anyone had success with the appetite pluss at all? any info would be appreciated. thanks
 
I had a similar problem, I have a thread on here about my baby's eating problems. I nvr tried that stuff. I was told to use watered down baby food (like turkey) and clacium and use a syrinch to but it in his mouth but my dragon didnt eat for weeks and became extremely thin. Sorry if i missed it, but how long since he has eaten? I dont know if trying tht right away will help your dragon.
 
he still dont go more then 2-3 days at most without eating, its just only a little, enough to maintain his body weight now....i dont think im at the baby food stage yet
 
I have used that stuff a few times and i personaly think it works, how old is this dragon and do you have anything in his cage?
 
hes roughly 4-5 months old at 16 ins at 145 grams....he has hide half log in there...other then that just paper towels and his heat/uv lights i covered his plexiglass doors with newspaper to see if maybe it was some sort of stress caused by us? i dont know i guess ill see if it works but i think i wanna order the appetiote stuff, if it works great if it dont...i cross it off the list...just wanted to see if it worked for anyone else
 
Ok, so he sounds like he is on the longer side for his age, is it possible hes a little older then that?

Is he useing his heat spot much or staying on the cool side/in his hide, this time of year he could be cooling himself, normally if a dragon stops eating or slows eating but dosnt lose weight it tends to be them cooling, keeping an eye on his weight it is important because if he starts loseing weight it could be a problem, maybe parasites, or stress, but parasites are a big one for appetite loss normally though there would be weight loss and eventually he would pretty much not eat at all and start to go down hill.

Dose he have any stress bars under his tummy? do any of his bones show more, and dose he have nice fat pads on his tail base, eyes sunken in on the top or normal, a picture would be of great help. of him and his cage.
 
he has a very long tail for his age imo...hm he still seems to bask a good bit to me, as far as stress marks go some days there slightly there some days there not there at all...i have been weighing him every 2-3 days or so and hes solid...its possible he might be a bit older but not by much...his body seems right for his age hes just got a long tail....

he seems to have a good weight at the base of his tail, eyes look good to me as well....i can take pictures of the cage tomorrow when the lights are on so you get a better idea...
 
ahhh no i didnt, i had alot of things to get done today, good news is he ate pretty well today for i did go out, he ate a good 12 dubias or so...
 
this is from like 2 weeks ago or so, the top cage is his, i gave him a half log now to feel a little more secure at night, or when he does feel stressed.
