I have a male beardie who in which my last post needed a visit to the vet which said he has some back legs issues. Hes eats well with a varied type of veggies.
What i know he eats more when i hand feed and rarely when i leave it on the floor (Ceramic substrate with paper towels) He likes more on Dandelions, Kale, Green leaf lettuce, sometimes strawberries and red peppers but wont eat it unless sandwiched with the greens.
What do you recommend for me to feed him other types of veggies? I try to give him around 6 AM during the weekdays and another batch at 3 PM when coming back from school.
Insects is another thing. He in some cases will stare at them only if i dump the bowl on the paper towels which grabs his attention but hardly tries to grab. around 1-2 super worms he grabs before giving up. If i leave it in the bowl he sometimes notices it but never goes after it. So what im asking is another way to interest him into insects. I know they need 20% on insects but rarely eats them probably 2-4 every other day
And lastly the handling. Back then when i got him he used to be okay with handling with no skirmish or moving a lot. Now most of the times he tries to move around or squirmish away from handling and breathes heavily. He doesn't puff or have any bad stress but my guess doesn't like being handled or just want to explore. I sometimes do let him be outside but since i had a unexpected incident on the bed ill just have to be more cautious.
So on that should i keep him handling since he probably doesn't like being handled or let him be? I heard that they should be needed handle all day or they will be more aggressive but what about when they don't want to be handled?
Hopefully this isnt too confusing
