    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....

Hi guys,i got 2 1week old baby beardies,I've already posted threads about them. There 2-3weeks old now,one is doing fine,but one is very ill, I was adviced to feed her baby food,and she picked up for a few days,she was eating cricks and active,now shes back to being lifeless and wont eat. Ive been putting meal worms in her mouth and shes been chewing them up,Ive given her tiny amounts of glucose,Ive tried everything,and today i cant get her to take the meal worms. The other one is doing fine. Ive bathed her,and done everything i can think of. Can anyone please give me anymore help and advise,as I'm so worried about her,and don't no what to else to do for her. I live in england. :crying: :crying:
 
One thing I've found that has helped a sick dragon (especially if they refuse to drink on their own) is using a syringe, without the needle of course, and feeding them appple flavored Pedialyte, as much as they will drink, several times a day. At first they will tend to try to fight it, but hopefully soon discover it's very pleasant and will willingly drink some. If they are dehydrated, that will kill them more quickly than not eating, and once they get some fluids and electrolyes into their system, sometimes they will perk up and start eating.

Forgive me if you answered this in another thread, but has she seen a vet? Had a fecal done?
 
Hi there,what is apple falvour Pedialyte,im from england,and ive never heard of it pedialyte,where would i get it from?. Also im thinking of putting a divider in the tank,so shes on her own,and the other one doesent nother her,ive tried giving her glucose in a syringe,also how much liquid do i give her,for example how many mills in a syringe. Thanks very much indeed
 
Im from england and i know of a product called dyorolight,its the same sort of thing,from chemist,is that the same thing?
 
Hmmm......Pedialyte is a drink you can give to babies and children when they are ill (usually vomiting and/or diarreah) to prevent them from getting dehydrated, or to help re-hydrate them. Is Dyorolite something like that?

Separating them is probably a VERY good idea, I would make certain she can't even see the other dragon. She may be very stressed out by him, even if she doesn't show any apparent signs.
 
Oh, and a little one like that won't drink much at a time, I'd just try to get her to drink as much as she is willing to, just squirt a bit into her mouth and see if she will swallow it. Just a bit at a time, you don't want her to inhale it if she can't swallow it, or won't swallow it.
