[morsotom]

I got my rankins dragon yesterday the petstore told me to feed it once a day 10 worms and 10 crickets
I tried to feed him today but he doesnt eat any food or drink any water he ate 12 worms yesterday and 5 crikets but after moving he doesnt eat

You've been given bad advise by the petstore (typical …. most pet store staff are clueless when it comes to the care and husbandry of bearded dragons).

Only one day …. try again later , if this persists for more than 2 or 3 days there might be something wrong.

A 6 month old dragon should be on 2 meals of live insects per day , make sure insects like crickets are NOT TOO BIG (no longer than the space between the dragon's eyes) , and offered salad as well (if you lucky it will nibble on the salad, but it probably wont unless it's used to it).

How much does he weigh ?

In the meantime, working through this can likely identify the most likely reasons for a dragon being off it's food : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=236150&p=1815390#p1815390

Hi there, can you post pics [ close ups ] of the dragon + the set up ? Not many stores sell Rankin's, so just checking to see that's what you actually have. Here's how to post pics:

I posted pictures it is sleeping rn he ate 6 worms and one cricket but that was his only food :|
He did eat better than yesterday
The PET store also told me to give calcium and vitamin supplements only every 2 days is this true
