Help need collared lizzard help

A person gave me three collared lizzards that are in really bad shape, very skinny and very weak.They wont eat on their own, so what ive been doing is putting small crickets or mealworms in their mouthes when they try to bite me,they scarf the insects right down, the problem is i cant get them to eat on their own, two are still very weak, but they are looking alot better.The other one is starting to climb on the rocks in his 55 gal aquarium. The other two still lay on a flat rock i have on the bottom. could they have a parisite problem also?if any one out there knows what i can do that will help them better, please let me know. I think they are really cute lizzards,im going to keep them, so i need all the info i can get. i cant find much on any sites. or care books in pet shops. thanks alot. tuesdaylizzards

Collared lizards are solar-heat powered machines. I don't know the specifics on these but a hot spot of over 100 degrees and a full-spectrum light source plus a good hide would be the place to start. These will also eat a few things other than insects, if I remember correctly.
.
I've never seen a hungry collared lizard that was hot enough refuse food.
.
Good luck.

I feel like a broken record but ESPECIALLY for rehabbing you simply MUST have a GREAT bulb. Go to reptileuv.com and buy a megaray. If you need help call Bob MacCargar (his number is on the site) and he will help you over the phone.
You temp in the basking area should be 110-120. Explain your setup and needs to Bob and tell him I sent you to him
You can mix a slurry for the animal..using pedialyte (non flavored and non colored) baby foods of chicken, turkey, green beans, squash and sweet potatoes are all aceptable. Probiotics are a must as well (see reptileuv.com for more info and sales). You can mix the whole list together.
Try to hand fed them with the syringe by putting the food on her nose or the side of the mouth without forcing the mouth open.
Use this technique until the animals are full and healthy, and before you knw it--they will be eating on their own fine.
But please adjust their heat and lighting immediatley.
