Hey,
I have a 2 month old Beardie that struggles to eat like other dragons I have seen. He is two months old and I have tried multiple ways to feed him.
I have tried putting multiple Dubia in a container and then putting him inside it. In this case, he doesn't touch the roaches and acts almost as if he can't see them.
The other thing I have tried is putting them in the cage with him and he may get one of them if he sees them. But often times its like he doesnt see them or notice them.
He will occasionally eat 1 or two out of our hands but he struggles with the same problem even by hand feeding. It can be right in front of his face and he seems like either he is disinterested or that he cant see it.
The last option i have tried is to put the roaches in a glass bowl and stick it near him or put his hands on the edge of the jar to show him where it is and he has eaten 1 roach of the glass bowl this way.
The reason I think that he cant see that well is because when he does eat one, it is like he finally saw one moving and he charges after it to eat it, this makes me think that he does like them and want them, if he sees them.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Brandon
