Hello beardie owners!
My Zeus has stopped eating his dubias like he used to and isn't even a year old, yet. (9 months)
I switched the dubias from a cat food, fish flake and calci dust diet to chick starter feed and while they roaches seem to like it a lot more than the other mix I'm now wondering if that has caused them to taste bad/different to him and now he doesn't readily eat them.
I can offer him a dubia and he won't eat it, but then offer a hornworm or a superworm and he gobbles it right up! He eats greens without any issues but just slowed down on the dubias. He WILL eat dubias everyday or every other day but not very many at a time.
For those bearded dragon owners that have a dubia colony, what are you feeding the feeders? I'm wanting to try a few things and see if I can't make them taste better or be more appealing to him!
My setup:
40 gallon
75 watt basking bulb
ReptiSun 10.0 TUBE - 7-8 inches away from basking spot. (mounted inside the tank)
Flourescent tube (12 inches?) on cool side to emit more light into the tank
Thanks!
