Hi, I got a 6 week old about a month ago from a bearded dragon owner who had bred them. I got a second hand set up and she was eating quite well at first brown small crickets dusted with powder but nothing like 20 a day. She had a shed period but still has a touch on her tail ive given her baths and it won’t shift. I noticed the bulb was the wrong one in the set up so I bought an Arcadia 10% with d3 750mm light and it’s about 6 inches from her basking spot that’s about 100 - 105 degrees, she has a ceramic heater at night and 75w white basking bulb in the day. I measure temp with a probe thermostat . I give her kale chopped up that she has every now and then but nothing substantial. Give her water a few times a day.
Im worried at she only eats 3 crickets or a couple Dubia roaches a day if that. I’ve ordered Calci worms. She’s only just 5 inches long and 6g in weight. I’ve taken most out of her enclosure as the crickets would just run and hide and now I’m worried she’s bored in there.
I tried taking her out into a tub to eat them but she just freaks out. I hold them up to her with tweezers but she just closes her eyes. I refrigerated the crickets to make them slower but she’s just not that interested or eats one and is done! I’m so worried!
