Hi! I am a new bearded dragon owner, and he is around 2 months old. I’m trying to instill the habit of him (or her) eating in a separate place than his own enclosure. My reasoning for this goes as follows: I have read up on the dangers of straggler crickets and would hate for him to get bit by one during the night, many of them hide under his basking spot (it has a hide in it and then my bearded dragon just won’t go after them unless they’re right in front of his face and he doesn’t have to work for it) and when i remove his basking spot, he freaks out and pays no attention to the crickets, and finally the calcium mess on the carpets is not ideal. Unfortunately, he also will not eat for
me in an separate tub or tank. I’m somewhat at a loss here! I always watch when he eats, but it’s nearly impossible to keep track of the crickets and then remove them all without startling my bearded dragon or stressing him out by removing all of his furniture to pick them out one by one. If anyone has any advice they would like to extent, I would be so grateful!
