Hello,
Anyone have any suggestions for daily feeding schedules for very old bearded dragons. Want to know what others do with an oldie?
He’s pretty much been on the same diet for the last 10 years - green, carrots, cucumber, beans etc available daily. Then crickets and hoppers 2/3 every other day, wax worms are now a no go even as a treat as he just throws these back up these days. He also has vitamin supplements.
I just lost my girl who was the same age - so I’m just being super paranoid about him and want to make sure he’s as healthy as he can be. I honestly can’t cope losing him as well anytime soon!
He’s also started sliding around on his tummy rather than use his legs - which his sister never did even in her last days. Anyone had this with a geriatric? I took him to the reptile vet and she said he was very healthy for his age, no lumps and no pain.
Would love to know other geriatric beardie parents daily schedules!
Thanks!
