We just got our first beardie on Christmas Eve and I am totally confused on the feeding schedule with vitamins, calcium, salad, and live food. I'm not sure how old he is but he probably about 12 in.
long. We did not get him from a commercial store, it is a local store that sells exotic pets.
So far we have fed him two batches of live crickets and salads. I have tons of questions lol and hope you could help me out. I have found so much useful information on this site!
1. On the days you fed them live food do you still feed them salad? Do you offer them at different times?
2. With the calcium and vitamins other than dusting live food can you dust fruits and veggies? How often do I add this to him food?
3. How often should he be eating live food? I do give him a salad every day.
4. So far he likes asparagus, collard greens, apples, carrots and green bell peppers. I tried butternut squash today but he wasn't having it. I tried to mix it in with the greens but he only ate a few pieces. So of the items aren't staple foods and I don't want to over feed these foods to him but I don't want to just feed him the same staple foods everyday that he will eat.
We have the bath and pooping down lol. His poop smells bad but I figured it is poop so it is going to smell. I did read on here that could be a sign of an infection, how would I be able to tell. Any help would be so much appreciated. I am already in love with this little guy!! I would bring him to work if I could lol.
