Big beardy

[alexandra168]

I have a full grown male beardy who is 1.5 years old. I just adopted him a few days ago and I noticed that he hasn't really eaten much for the past few days. He has eaten some mealworms and I gave him some fruit, but he didn't really seem interested. He keeps walking around the house and licking at things, so I assume that he's hungry. Is this normal? And any food suggestions?

Hi. Beardies lick every thing that's how they smell. Also he probably has a little relocation stress that may be why he's not eating much. Mealworms are not good feeders they can cause impaction. Better feeders are crickets, dubia roaches( depending on where you are) Phoenix worms, horn worms, silk worms and a good site go by what kind of veggies to feed is beautifuldragons.com.
