Hello,
So I got my boy a little over 2 weeks ago, and he is about 2 months old. The first week I got him, I fed him about 5/7 tiny crickets, and a day later, he threw them all up, completely undigested, and he wouldn't poop. I decided to try mealworms, since that was all I could get at the time, and he seemed to love them for the first couple of days! He even started to poop regularly, and it was healthy and normal poop! But recently, he won't even touch them! I introduced him to leafy greens the other day, and he CANNOT get enough! :lol: I'm a little worried though, because the adult beardies are supposed to be the ones who eat mainly leafy greens and fruits/veggies. Yet, my little one is only two months old, and all he wants to eat are his veggies, fruits, and leafy greens!
I know this is a good thing, because most dragons won't eat that stuff until they're older, but it's also a problem, because I can't get him to eat his protein!
Ya'll ever heard of a little one eating his veggies but not his meat? :lol:
I think that's why I really haven't seen much of a growth spurt with him too...
Any suggestions on what to do here?
Here's a picture of him:
