Baby Beardie not eating, not interested?

The water on the nose tip works fantastic- my little guy will drink some water this way.

Good news!

Sorry for not updating lately, just getting busy since school just started. Yesterday he ate about 30 crix, and I put some water on his nose and he actually licked it! He is still not eating his greens though.

That's great! Keep offering the greens and he'll start eating them before you know it.

That's great that he ate about 30 crickets AND drank some water off his nose. Wouldn't worry about the non-eating of the greens, that will come in time. Right now he needs a lot of protein to help grow so would just mostly concentrate on that.

Well today I decided to feed him in an old 10 gallon tank, because he wasnt eating in his own enclosure. the first couple days he ate much more then he does now..and he has been pooping normally..I have had him for a little over a week now.

my little guy has been the same.. i got him two weeks ago today, for the first couple of days he ate like there was no tomorrow and since then he's been eating maybe two crickets a day.. then today he suddenly got his appetite back, has eaten about 30 small crickets over 3 sittings and the 5 reptiworms in his bowl are gone too.. if your set up and temps are fine and he's still pooing regularly i wouldn't get too stressed about it (i know its hard, i've been freaking out for at least a week!) he's probably just got a bit of relocation stress.. hope this puts your mind at rest a wee bit
