My boy Zeus has been hardly eating and pooping. He’s still very very active which confuses me because that means he’s out of burmation but he’s still not eating/pooping? He will take bugs no problem but I almost have to force feed him greens/fruits/veggies. Any tips?

Hello,

That is great news that Zeus is so active after coming out of brumation. It is somewhat typical
that they will want only bugs when they come out without vegetation right away.
Keep trying with the greens/veggies. You have tried mixing in a few worms, brightly colored
pieces of bell peppers or squash, or maybe minced up berries or mango in with his salad?
That sometimes helps, but not all of the time. You could get some sugar free apple sauce &
lightly drizzle a little bit over the greens or some sweet potato baby food, too.

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.
