i have a 4 years old bearded dragon, who doesn't eat on her own. i don't know why, and the vet doesn't know why. the vet has told me to keep doing what i have been doing for the past year. which is feeding her every night, by sliding a syringe into the side of her mouth and squirting food onto her tongue, and allowing her to swallow it on her own. the vet says that she should have 7-12 ccs of food a day. for awhile i was just feeding her baby food, because it was the easiest to feed through a syringe. but i have started sliding bugs and bearded dragon pellets into her mouth, and she eats that just as well.i am having a hard time, though, of figuring out the equivalent of 10 ccs of food. tonight i gave her 7 ccs of baby food, 6 bearded dragon pellets (each 1/4 of an inch), and 8 smaaall mealworms. is this too much food? or too little? or right on target?
your help is greatly appreciated!!
