If you fed it a wild-caught insect, it may have succumbed to some sort of pesticide. Or it may have been so stressed that it wouldnt eat. Baby lizards need intensive care, and must not be handled. their immune systems are quite weak, and the stress they get during handling can kill them very quickly. When you take a lizard from the wild, take notes about the particular habitat. (Like if its from a school, or park) Write down what insects you see, and what kind of habitat. When you mime the natural conditions the best you can, the lizards get a zillion times more comfy, and most importantly-- Make sure you are 100 percent capable of providing the best care possible. Put your lizards health above yours when they are small like this.. its the only way they will survive. These guys have provided all the info necessary, you just have to search all the threads with similar problems.
