Does my beardie need to go on a better diet?

Queenofshadows00 · Dec 29, 2017

Hiya all,
It's the Brit again. Was just wondering if my beardie (sub adult /adult) needs to go on a different diet

I took this picture about 2 weeks ago and thought that my beardie looked a little on the larger side.

We feed him adult locust and he will eat about 2 every other day but won't touch his veg

Is there anything I can do?

How old is he? "How many months"?

Not sure how old he is. Only had him for about a month but he's 19 inches

I am fairly sure he is at the age where he needs more veggies than bugs now.
He is a little on the heavy side, not bad but heavy.
You can feed greens like collard turnip or mustard greens daily and try bell peppers (green,yellow, orange or, red) for color to entice him. At his age to much protein is bad for his liver. You need to really start pushing veggies. Bugs every other day is fine but greens everyday. Leave them in his viv for him to snack on all day.

Veg gets put in his viv daily. He just doesn't seem to eat it

Hey,

He definitely needs mostly greens in his diet. 70% of his daily intake should be greens and 30% insects. A good incentive to getting them to eat their veggies is to mix a few worms into their salad. They'll eat the salad trying to get at the worms!
