My son has recently purchases a bearded dragon
How big (grams) or estimated total length is it ?
and I'm not sure he is caring for it correctly. Everything on I have read on here says no it's a cool little thing and I don't want to see it die. He feeds it super worms but recently the beardie has been killing them but not eating them and it is turning really dark it sheds constantly he doesn't give it a
bath ever has it in sand
what kind of sand ?
I'm not a fan of keeping bearded dragons on sand (even as full grown adults) , some sands are lethal and should not be used with any lizard as substrate .
... How do I keep this little dude alive please help
Photos of the dragon
of tank
of lights
details on tank dimensions LxWxH
details on temperatures (warm end, cool end, at basking spot)
how are you measuring these
UV (source details = brand, wattage, type, UVB rating, ontop or under mesh lid, distance from basking spot
exact diet and feeding schedule (what , sizes of insects , when)
lighting schedule
If it's regurgitating the insects - likely too big , or there's a blockage in the gut. You mention superworms , if this is the only food offered , it's a totally inadequate diet.
Nor should superworms be offered to a dragon under 12 inches long , a good rule of thumb is if under 1 year old , no superworms or mealworms.
Better off offering
BSFL
silkworms
butterworms (if you can find them)
above three are very soft , high in calcium and very easy to digest.
Crickets, locusts and roaches are also very good feeders if appropriate sized, gutloaded, and dusted.
if it's pooing undigested insects - the temperatures are the issue.
