Hi,
I was planning on getting a bearded dragon after being interested in getting one for years, then randomly my bf's friend from work said about needing to re-home his due to not being able to commit enough time. Originally he said she was 3 yrs old, now hes saying she's around 5 yrs old. Apparently she doesn't eat anything but locusts and wax worms, barely touches vegetables and wont eat any fruit or drink water from a dish. She's overweight and has been in several different homes, the first didn't treat her well and the second nursed her back to health. I would be her fourth home, the fact that shes been moved around so much is what's making me want to give her a stable home, I don't think it's fair to allow her to go to someone else who will likely not care for her or will re-home her again and her current situation of not getting out of her viv or being given the correct amount of time isn't great. I was wondering if anyone has any advice for me, in general or with regards to helping her lose weight and eat more veggies. TIA
