beardies not eating

[biggjamal80]

Hi everybody we recently purchased 2 beardies. They are both males and have their own tanks. we have handled them and everything is cool with that but they wont eat? we have had them four days and so far 1 of our boys has eaten 2 crickets and the other has eaten some veg but that is all. we have tried them with locusts(big and small ones), crickets and given them fresh veg and fruit each day. they are supposed to be around 9 months old each. both have done the toilet. can anyone suggest any solutions please?

They may be adjusting. Sometimes it takes a week or so to adjust. Also, can they see each other? Sometimes that is an issue as well.

Thanx for replying. at first we had them both in the same room but have today put them into separate rooms. Hoping this will help but not sure as we are new to all this. Just worried about them at the moment. We will keep trying them. We just want to make sure we are caring for them properly.

Can you walk us through their setups? (Tank sizes, substrate, temperatures, lighting etc) I'll be glad to have a look and see if anything stands out to me as a possible issue.

I will post pics of their tanks and explain them today or tomorrow. Do you have an email addy i could email them too? mine is [email protected] If you dont want to post your email addy here you can send me an email and ill reply with the pics from my phone's email setup as i know how to do that. Also i have dandelions growing in my garden(i dont use any pesticides or anything, they are just growing wild.) Would it be ok to wash and feed them to the beardies?
