Yeah but who?

I feel you, I hade the same thoughts but today he ate some salad on his own what gave me hope. I mixed the calcium and d3 powder with some water in a spray bottle and dropped it on his nose and he drank a decent amount. I hope tomorrow I can end this, I plan to wait couple hours after I turn on...

Hey, sorry if I bother you but today is day 7 with no insects and besides yesterday when my beardy took some salad from my hand after his full body shed, I had no luck today getting him to eat salad. Should I just continue or is there any other advice to proceed from here? My beard looks very...

For today it's already too late, his lights are off now. I will see what happens tomorrow.

Guys! I am so happy! So a couple of minutes ago, after his shed, he was chilling on his basking rock. I took some salad leaves and rolled them on the rock back and forth and he started eating! I took more and as well some pieces of blueberries and he ate! I really felt like rewarding him with...

Day Nr. 6: My Beardy had a full body shed today! Lost most of his shed in the enclosure, then I gave him a bath and he lost the rest, I helped him a bit with his fingers since there was some skin stuck there. I think because of the shedding stress he showed no interest in eating today, but...

I am definitely experiencing that. Today (Day 5) he is active as normal but he did something that gave me a tiny bit of hope. Twice I saw him move to the salad bowl and lick it very quickly, then move away. Guess that may be the light at the end of the tunnel :D. Aswell when I dropped water...

Day 4: He seems very active and healthy, moving around and giving me strange looks. But no luck whatsoever with the salad... :/ When I put a salad piece in front of his face he licked it, ate nothing tough.

Wow, that's awesome! I put bee pollen on his salad every day but no luck. My beardy is shedding as well, his whole body is grey and only his head is already shedded. Is there a connection between shedding and appetite loss?

Day Nr. 3 with no insects: Still shows no signs of being interested in eating salad. Looks healthy and active. Tried to wave pieces in front of his face, no reaction. Seems like a very stubborn beardy :rolleyes:

What I do is, I have this "Repti Safe" that makes water safe for reptiles. So I put some water in a spray bottle with a couple drops of it and spray his salad every hour or so. Because I noticed that the salad will dry out very soon otherwise. Aswell I use the spray bottle to put some drops of...

I just want to give an update: Today is the second day I stopped feeding insects. Yesterday my beardy wouldn't care much, occasionally I would wave a piece of salad in front of his face and he would lick it sometimes, but nothing more. Today goes around his enclosure like he is searching for...

:D That's funny since I am on the totally other side of the world as well (Germany). But seems like the same problems exist xD. I bought bee pollen from day one but it didn't make a difference. I even took a wet leave with bee pollen on it and rubbed a bit of it on his mouth so he licks it, but...

Thanks for the repy! I know about the third eye and was cautious about this :). I think I was on a very good way to gain his trust, slowly taking one step after another. Until I messed up yesterday ofc :(. But now I will take some steps back again and start as I did in the beginning and hope...

So my beardy is with me for almost a month. He started trusting me and in the last few days, he would take his whole food from my hand and even hang around with me sometimes. I guess I made a mistake yesterday by trying too hard to make him eat salad. I would pick up pieces of salad every...

He's not rly a baby, I think he's near 10 months old now. But regardless, your advice seems reasonable. I usually feed him at 10 pm, two hours after his lights are on. Now I will put his lights on, place the salad and if he doesn't eat from it after two hours I just feed him as normal. The...

Hey everyone! So I have had my beardy for almost a month now. I managed to get him used to his new environment, he eats normally and is OK when I handle him. The thing is that the breeder I got him from never feeds his beardies Salad. I tried my best to get him interested but no chance. He once...

BSFL are hard to get where I live in Germany. I tried the same idea with mealworms, but no success. As well I noticed that my beardy is not as crazy about mealworms as what I heard of how beardies like them a lot. Some people suggest letting your beardy without food for couple of days so he eats...

He doesn't avoid the basking spot anymore, but he basks at other spots as well. Most of the time though I would say that he basks on the rock. The recommended distance of the bulb is 12 inches and that's where I put it, but there are other spots in the enclosure with further distances. I noticed...

Yeah I´m still using the MVB. I measured again after couple more hours and the temperature on the rock went up to almost 97F. Hopefully thats OK :) Yeah, it is way better now :). He eats regularly, although I don't know if he eats enough, he will eat between 5-10 Bugs a day (Dubias...
