Hi, For heat you could do a number of things e.g. place any incandenscent bulb above him, place other types of heaters near the tank etc. Please make sure that the temperature is not too high. As for food, this is more of a problem. If he's used to eating crickets it would be difficult to switch him at once to something else. I assume meal worms or otjer insects are also unavailable? You could very temporarily try some soft cat food but it may not work.

It is difficult to see in the picture. What you can do is submit a stool sample to your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. This may diagnose intestinal parasites. The appropriate medication can then be administered or dispensed.

Ideally, the UVB light source should run the entire length of the tank. A thermometer/hygrometer should be on each end of the tank to confirm cool and warm sides. Use a digital thermometer to verify temps. Those little ones you have can be inaccurate. Provide a hide on both sides as well. Personally, I would remove the fake grass as it has the potential to cause eye injuries. Your tank looks good otherwise.

Thanks for reaching out about Zeus. First, check and correct environmental parameters such as temperature (day/night, high/lows, far end of the exhibit), UVB exposure and diet. If this is all correct, a veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Intestinal parasites or infections, metabolic disorders (liver, renal) are just a few of the problems. Starting with a fecal examination should be the first start. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Spike. Unfortunately, not a botonist nor native to Australia. Believe that you should be able to obtain that information on the web. In captivity, a wide variety of greens, red/yellow/orange vegetables should be offered. Young/growing bearded dragons need more dark greens for calcium. As adults, not growing bone, so less dark greens can be offered. Excess calcium could possibly lead to formation of bladder stones. Good luck.
