hi everyone! i’m new to the site & new to beardie mom life.
i got my little guy bumi a week ago exactly, and he’s about 5 weeks old. when i first got him, he was pretty chill save for some glass surfing. he’s since become very energetic, running around his terrarium and making lots of head and arm movements.
but he is barely eating!!! some days he’ll eat 3-4 crickets, others hardly anything at all. petsmart (i know, i know) was only feeding him once every other day and i’m hoping that he’s maybe just on that crappy schedule.
i’ve also noticed he’s been getting dark spots on his belly and chin...he was sleeping in my hand and on my shoulder but now it feels as though i stress him out. i just want the little guy to survive!! his weight today was 5.9 grams.
he’s at a good 105 degrees F on his basking rock and 85 on the cool side, humidity between 20 and 30%. he’s liked chasing after the crickets when he does eat.
i just am so nervous i’m gonna do wrong by my little boy! please help!!!
