Amir, how old is baby now ? 3-5 months ?
No one can come by and drop in some food one time a day ? can you not take baby with you ? You can keep baby in a smaller bin, with the Uvb and heat..

BD's need to eat. Do you have a local pet store that you could drop him/her off? What time do you leave and when do you get back? Do you leave veggies in the viv? What about bathing?

a 3 month old dragon going without food is like a 3 week old human child going without milk. Hunger creates stress, stress raises coccidia, coccidia in high amounts causes issues.
personally i wouldn't recommend taking him to a reptile shop simply because of the host of issues that may come home with him, and it just causes added stress.
I'd find a sterilite 56 (?) qt bin and put him inside to set close to dad. They're cheap, and the transfer of lights is easy.

Good idea from ladynight. A BD should have a bath at least 3 times a week to keep them hydrated. I feed mine protein twice a day and veggies that I change most of the time twice a day. Also I hold mine allot. Are you a new BD owner?
