Hi
I have older bearded dragons which are fine with eating apart from the male he’s a bit fussy but anyway. We got a baby it’s our females baby and it’s 24 days old. First day it ate a few crickets not much and same next day. It’s had some hatchling Dubia Roaches aswell. What I’ve noticed when it’s eaten all these is when it’s caught them it seems to only have a bit in its mouth and rest hanging out and then eats bits and then bashes the rest on the floor but then it’s hanging out of its mouth for ages and not fully eating it. It’s opening and closing it’s mouth wide to get the food in but not managing. The food isn’t too big and it’s basking and moving around find not lathergic or anything. It’s had some water from dropping water on it’s nose.
I’m scared it’s not eating enough and also when it’s does not eating it properly and it’s going to choke.
Is there any other foods I can provide like tiny Calci Worms or anything else small. The new crickets I have are so small I’m not sure where I can feed them too the baby. I’ve tried to take it out and put it in a tub to feed but it’s not interested unless it’s in it’s viv.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
