Hello, my bearded dragon, Jervus Jean, is about three and a half months old, weighing in at 48 grams. I have had him (or her) for about two and a half months and he has not shed. I offer him dubia roaches, black soldier fly larva, and silk worms (all smaller than the space between his eyes). I offer him as many bugs as he wants but he only eats 10-15 a day (sometimes more or less). We dust his bugs with calcium five times a week and multivitamin twice a month. I also offer him collard greens and bell pepper every day with occasional fruit, but he has only eaten a little salad since we got him (hand fed). He has a basking spot at 105 degrees and cool side at 78 degrees. His UVB is Reptisun 10.0 T5 HO that covers 3/4 of his tank. The furthest he is from it is 47 cm the closest he can get is 24 cm. His substrate is non-adhesive shelf liner. He gets up at 8:30 am and eats breakfast at 10:30 am. He has dinner at 5:30 pm and goes to sleep at 8:30 pm. I offer him water at both of his meals and he drinks it sometimes. He usually takes a nap about half an hour after his dinner. I don't think he has parasites because it does seem that he has bulked up a little since I have gotten him, and he has gotten a vet checkup when we first got him (but no fecal exam). I have tried Repta-Boost but he did not like the food or experience at all. Do you have any tips to get him to eat more or shed?
