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.

I would check with MPI for these legal requirements. There are certain animals that cannot be imported into the country due to biosecurity, and depending on which bird or reptile you want to keep, there will be different legal requirements.

It is difficult to say for sure what type of dragon you may have. If this is a baby then it very well could just be a bearded dragon. Rankin dragons are usually smaller when they are fully grown that a bearded dragon. I would buy an enclosure big enough for a bearded dragon to be safe. Also, I would feed and treat it as if it is a bearded dragon. It is going to be less likely that you got a Rankin dragon from a local pet store. From my understanding, you have to seek out a Rankin dragon breeder to be sure you are getting this type of dragon. I hope this helps!

Keep him warm and as stress free as possible. If he is on loose substrate, switch him to slate, paper towels or reptile carpeting to prevent material from sticking to his vent. Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites.

The best thing would be to ask a friend to feed him and check on him. You can also find a veterinarian or a shelter which may take him for a holiday. You could ask at a pet store if they know a petsitter that can take him for the time you are away.
