I have an approximately 4 year old male bearded that was a rescue. He was found in a 5 gallon bucket in the side of the road, emaciated and sickly looking. He has been brought back to health and was eating GREAT till last May (2021) when he altogether stopped eating ANY type of insect!
Turns his nose up to any live feed, frozen pinky, worn, bug etc.
It's been over a year now and he seems perfectly healthy and happy...
He eats sunflower sprouts, and all kinds of greens and lots of them... he LOVES blueberries and happily eats those... I have a MILLION dubia roaches all sizes that he closes his eyes to when they are presented. When he's in his feeding tub they just crawl all over him and he sits there, eyes closed covered in roaches.
Is this normal? Is this ok?
Its VERY possible this bearded dragon is much older than 4... I've had him almost 3 years and he was full grown when I found him.
Should I keep trying to get him to eat bugs or sell off my breeding colony and let him remain a vegan?
