Hi everyone, I am very new to all of this. I have researched a lot on beardies but i’ve never actually had one up until a few days ago. I purchased a baby bearded dragon on craigslist. From what I saw, his previous owners did not properly care for him as he was only provided with canned bugs (no calcium, vitamins, fresh fruit/vegetables) and looks to be very young (only about 5-6 inches long) and was purchased from Petsmart. As soon as I brought him home, I went out and hurriedly bought everything he still needed and in my excitement I forgot to double check about bug size and fed him 2 superworms (which he ate slowly, starting my first wave of worry). He didn’t eat any of the vegetables I provided either. When I offered him food later that day, yesterday, and today multiple times each day he did not show any interest in any of the food offered. He has been drinking though. I got worried when he didn’t eat on the second day and very quickly found out that I fed him too big of a meal and became very panicked as I didn’t want to cause him any harm. I still feel very guilty and am hoping he is just full, but even as a new beardie owner I know that this is unusual and I am wondering if anyone here has advice, possible answers, etc. Thank you!!
