hey guys,
today i bourght a cheap beardie because the person did not seem at all interested in it and i was worried about its well being. i got it home and the poor thing is as skinny as a rake, it is suppose to be a year old but it is much too small for a yearling probly from malnutrition but im not sure maybe could just be younger. what can i give him to get him back to health quickly, he looks awfull??? p.s i cannot even tell if it really is a 'he' because it is so thin.
thankyou in advance :)
 
Feed it, look after it, give it a correct home and keep it well.

You can force feed it but there really is no point if it is eating on its own. Also if you want to you can take it to the vet just to make sure its in good health.

Apart from that just show it some TLC, make sure you feed it as much as it will take, if you want it to put on weight fast you can feed it pinkies but they are very fatty and it puts on the wrong kind of weight :p.

The thing it needs right now is TLC
 
All of the above. Make sure it has really good temps (40-44C basking spot) so it wants to eat + digests all, & I'd definitely be dusting the feeders with calci powder.
You'll be surprised how quickly it beefs up!!
Good on you too:D
