Training & BehaviorWhy is my lizard not eating, thin, and has black liquid poop?
Thanks for reaching out about Zig. Try offering a meat Gerber's baby food via a syringe, but does sound like you need some veterinary assistance. Young animals often have intestinal parasites or infections, metabolic disorders, malnutrition, and other causes. Check environmental parameters and correct problems. These lizards should have a warm area in the 90-100 F range, but not allowed to get below 70 F at night. Just because one is doing well, doesn't mean it is not affected.
Good luck.
