Pet's info: Reptile | Bearded Dragon
My roommate has a bearded dragon that she hasn’t given food or water to in quite some time. I’m worried about the bearded dragon and I don’t have the money to get anything for them.

Reptiles can go some time without eating, but they do need to eat eventually. Crickets are not expensive. Fresh greens and vegetables can also be purchased rather inexpensively. You can soak Toad in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte or just warm water to maintain hydration. He does need to eat though. If your friend cannot provide adequate care, he or she should consider rehoming Toad. Review dragon care at the links below. http://www.reptilesmagazine.com/Care-Sheets/Lizards/Bearded-Dragon/ http://www.anapsid.org/bearded.html
