Hello, all! My name is Dillon and this lil guy's name is Drogon (Drogo or Drogie for short!) :D He is my first bearded dragon, but not my first reptile...brought him home about 2 weeks ago! I've been having helluva time trying to find out what he likes and really struggling to get him to eat more than 3-4 medium-sized dubias or 1-2 medium-sized hornworms in a single session. He's about 9 inches long so about 4 months old, the shop didn't have exact age info. He does eat some kale every now and then, I always make sure to offer him fresh kale/carrots (but he doesn't seem to care for carrots too much, lol). Overall he is quite active and a bit skittish still too, but loves to drink right out of my palm when I give him his daily misting! Just wanted to see what you guys think, see if he looks overall healthy to you guys from a glance and get some pointers! I love him so much already and want to make him the happiest and healthiest boy I can at all times :D

Here is a website for nutrition http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html give him a variety of greens - you can add some BSFL on top of his salads to entice him to the glass bowl that the worms and bugs cant get out of- they are a staple feeder so you can use as many as you want - you want him eating his greens / salads now - so I would give him that first thing in the morning w/ some BSFL on top along w/ maybe 1-3 super worms - no more than that as they get addicted to them - you can order BSFL from here https://symtonbsf.com/ then after an hour or so of eating his salads take a little of the veggies out and add his staple feeder like dubia roaches -- make sure you wash his salads or mist them before serving he will get alot of hydration out of those - what kind of lighting are you using in your tank --- please NO coils ---

He looks fine to me, and very familiar... (like spitting image!) :lol:

I have a hard time finding greens & veggies ZaRDoZ will eat, but he's a roach & worm vacuum.
The two greens he seems to like/tolerate best are turnip greens and cilantro (coriander).
I found that if I cut/tear the greens up into mouthful-sized pieces, and mix them in with his num-nums (bugs), he's more inclined to eat the salad with his steak. (If it isn't moving, he won't eat it.)

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
