Need a bit of help from my fellow beardie parents..Leonard who is estimated to be 8 months old has slowly stopped eating live feeders on his own,hasn't touched a roach on his own in 2 weeks,no supers either.He has also turned his nose up to wax worms too.Even though he stopped the live he was still eating all his greens.That has now stopped too for about a week.I have been feeding him baby squash(loves),baby green beans(he hates),baby prunes(in case the supers backed him up,loves),baby chicken(not a big fan) and Repta boost(also loves).Over the past couple days I have been sneaking roaches in the baby food and feeding with tongs and he eats them this way.I did just replaced his Powersun 100w as if you look at the 1st 2 pics from 6/1,6/4 and the next 2 are from 6/28 his basking spot is yellow where the one from 7/1 is white light.Can't really tell if he has lost any weight as now that my rescue Sammy has started looking like the year old beardie that he is, Leonard looks tiny to me.Since I just got paid I'm going to order some Rep Taid and try butterworms.This boy really has me scratching my head.Sorry for the long post but I'm am worried and thought I would try to give you all as much info as I can..Thanks in advance..
Leonard's setup: 40 gal. breeder,100w Powersun,12 inches from basking spot(1 week old),basking spot temps 97-99.4 as Leonard refuses to bask at any higher temp taken with dig. w/ probe.before he stopped eating he ate 1/4 in. to 5/8 inch dubia roaches 2x a day for 15 minutes each time(est. 75-100 a day),mustards,turnip and beardie bites at least 3x a day.He is not a fan of fruits or any veggies though I keep trying.He gets a 15 min. bath every other day and drinks water from a dropper 2-3x a day.He was pooping every other day before he stopped eating,now he poops real tiny poops still every other day,urates have been good.He lives alone.I do have a rescue beardie but there is a half wall splitting my living and dining room.Any more info feel free to ask..
