My baby beardie only eats 10-15 crickets a sitting and then refuses to eat after that. (He also refuses to eat greens only strawberry and watermelon.) I feed him later in the day and he eats another 10-15 and refuses to eat. Worried he is not eating enough. Any suggestions?
That sounds like a reasonable amount. How old is he? I would limit fruits to an occasional treat as they are relatively high in sugar. This is a good list to reference for salad ideas http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html
At 4 months he's still growing a lot so he'll need his bugs to provide protein. It's not unusual for them to ignore salads in favor of bugs at that age. If you keep offering salads it will be a familiar food source and might make it easier for him to transition to more veges as his growth slows down at around a year old.
Not at that age. Let him have his bugs. The fasting is for stubborn adults =). If you have roaches or crickets you can feed the leftover salad to them. He'll get the nutrients one way or another =).
I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
