Thanks Amylee. Gizmo is about 7 1/2 to 8" tip to tip. The silkies that I got are small they are the 1/4" size and the other worms are smaller yet. So I will just keep trying different things maybe he will eventually take a liking to them :)

I have had Gizmo for almost a month now and he won't eat anything but crickets. I have put salads in there and he just poops in them and won't touch them. I just got an order of silkies and pheonix worms they are in with him right now but he isn't even the least bit curious about them. They...

Thanks!! I was going to order some silkies as well and some of these he will still get crickets, I was just hoping to maybe encourage him to eat with some variety :D

Are these a good staple? I was looking at a site that has a chart for nutrition and it says that they should be fed occasionally. So I was just wandering what you guys thought

Thanks for the concern about the heater but honestly I don't think it is a burn factor for him it only goes to 70 degrees. I have to have something else to help with the heat in the tank as its winter here and is very cold at the moment we are at 10 with a wind chill of -19. I won't be using...

Thanks I'll try the blending and see what happens. He's only about 6 wks so thats why I'm concerned about him :|

Thanks for the help I'll try blocking off the sides, the back has a background on it. We do put vit on his crickets and salad :) I just tried the mealies to see if he would eat them that was it cuz I did know that they aren't very good for him. :?

Welcome fellow PAer! :blob5:

Thanks!! Harrisburg is about 4 hrs from us I'm just north of Pittsburgh in Ellwood City

I don't know I have tried different things but to no avail. His temps are 110 basking and 85 on cooler today I just took them.

thanks! His temps are 110 basking and 85 on the cooler side I just took them. I have tried to offer some salad but he wont eat it, salad consits of endive and alfafa, and some squash. he won't touch it. the crickets we just put in the tank after my son takes the hind legs off so they can't...

Thanks I keep very close attention to the UTH so it doesn't get to hot for him on the bottom. Its not a pad UTH its the rope kind I forget the name of it. Yes it is the long tube, next time I will go with the 10 :D He doesn't bask to much at least high up on the perch he lays under the light...

Any help is appreciated here :D I can't get my day time temps up. Yesterday (as I haven't turned on the lights yet today)basking spot was 113 which I think is good for a 6 wk old? then the cooler side is only about 82 is this right for him or do I need to get the cooler side up more. We use...

We just got a new bearded on Thursday last week. He is still not eating yet I know someone told me it could take up to a week but I'm worried about him :( Over the weekend he ate 2 crickets and that was it. Hes only 6 wks and about 6 and 1/2 ins.

Thanks Barbara! :wink:
