Beardie being a pickie eater, help!

[Hpg613Dragon]

Hey, My beardie is almost three months old now and up untill last saterday has been raised completely on crickets and greens. On saterday my first order of wax worms, silkies and of corse 500 crickets came, so i fed her a few wax worms and 2 silk worms. Later on in the day i tryed feeding her normal meal of crickets n she just stuck her nose up at them, so i gave her some more worms an she gobbled them down. Ever since she refuses to eat her crickets no matter what i do, any suggestions to get her eating her crix again?

Sometimes they just refuse crix, especially after they have tried something new. A variety is great, I have some that prefer crix, some superworms, and some now prefer dubai roaches. If you need to get him back on crickets, let him hunger strike a couple of days. He'll eat anything that moves when he's really hungry.

Merry Christmas

Jeff

I would rather her be eating crickets because its to expensive to be feeding her just worms i was planning on just using them as treats, also i can't find anyone around here that can get me roaches so ii'm pretty much stuck with the crickets. I'll try the hunger strike thing tho see how that goes, jus hate to see her not eating i like to see that big beardie belly on her :lol:

Gizmo did the same thing and did not eat a cricket for a month I just bought silkworms and hornworms for the month and then all of a sudden last week he started eating crickets again. So now I able to give him a few worms a day and he is happy. Your baby just might want a break too.
