What brand of food is best to buy my red eared slider? And what kind of food?
Fluker's or Maxuri pellets/sticks are quality diets. The diet should be varied to maximize nutrition. Offer leafy greens, crickets, small feeder fish, krill/shrimp (either can be freeze dried) or superworms in addition to a commercial pelleted diet.

My baby bearded dragon won't eat.. what do I do?
Confirm proper temperatures. Low temps can affect activity, appetite and digestion in reptiles. Soak Jax in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. This will provide heat and may treat or prevent mild dehydration. Be sure prey is appropriately sized, no bigger than the space between the eyes. Look for pinhead crickets or freshly hatched/molted dubia roaches. Gutload them for 24 hours prior to offering to maximize nutritional value. Fluker's Repti-Boost can be used as a supplement. If Jax does not begin eating, have him examined by your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet to diagnose illness or injury.

My snake went on a food strike from October to February. I fed her mice because I didn’t want to give her something too big. She took it like a champ. So recently I tried to give her a small rat because it’s the same size. I can’t get her to eat a ra
Hello, and thanks for using Boop by Petco. There are lots of reasons why a snake might go on a hunger strike, but it sounds like you've narrowed it down to a food preference. Rats are a bit more nutritious and ideally preferable over mice, but mice are also a perfectly acceptable option. Some snakes simply prefer them, in which case you are welcome to keep feeding Luminescence mice, and depending on her size she may simply need multiple mice per feeding as she grows. If you want to encourage her to switch to rats, you can try rubbing a dead mouse or mouse bedding on the rat prior to offering it, to give the rat a more familiar scent. Keep trying - but don't stress if the end result is she ends up staying on mice. Hope this helps!

My bearded dragon is 13 months old and he has stopped eating as much as he use to like two months ago. About 2 months ago I would offer him a whole big salad with collard greens, butternut squash, carrots, mustard greens, and some bearded dragon bite
Reptiles can be very subtle in showing when they don't feel well, and often a decrease in appetite is the only sign that they will show. Sometimes they will only be willing to eat their favorite items, so that may be a reason that Cosmo is eating certain things. Alternatively, they may be easier for him to eat somehow as well. Another hard part about reptiles is that they take a long time to show that they are sick, so something could have been going on with Cosmo for quite a while and he just hasn't shown you until now. I would recommend having Cosmo evaluated by a veterinarian due to the decrease in appetite. They will evaluate your husbandry and diet for Cosmo, and may make recommendations for them. This may include adjustments in the diet, as the items you are feeding right now have a great deal of calcium oxalates in them. Calcium oxalates can decrease absorption of calcium by the body, and calcium is very important in reptiles. The items that you are feeding with calcium oxalates

A vet exam is always recommended. IT appears to be Vitamin A deficiency - I think the fountain thing was just a coincidence. You can buy a Vitamin A eye drop to start putting in the eyes: https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/zoo-med-repti-turtle-eye-drops Next, start him on a good diet. I don't know what you are currently feeding but I recommend this diet. https://www.chewy.com/mazuri-fresh-water-turtle-food-12-oz/dp/124764 Hope this helps. Best wishes!
