We have been trying to get our bearded dragon (Scorch) to eat. He won't eat on his own. We are having to hand feed him with tweezers. We are feeding him medium size crickets. When we got him from his last owner he was not eating a lot and they fed him only super worms. No vegetables, fruits or crickets.
Now that we have him we are introducing him to fruits and vegetables (only the staple ones) and he has been eating crickets for us.
We recently upgraded his tank from a 50gallon to a 75gallon. Finally got the basking area between 105 and 110 degrees Fer. And the cool side is between 80 and 85.
Since the new tank he isn't hardly eating at all unless hand fed and he only ate 11/12 crickets. And that was just today. Before today he hasn't ate in about 3 or 4 days.
He is about 6 months old and weights about 166grams and he is also 14 inches long.
Since we got him he has also been glass surfing so we put up a background that blocks off 3 sides and so he's not doing it as much.
Any advice or suggestions... has anyone ever had this happen or know someone who did. We are really concerned.
