Hey everyone,
Our baby Poppy has been with us for 2 weeks now and we're still having problems with her eating dubia roaches. So I was curious what types of schedules other people have used with a baby beardie? I have read to feed them feeders 2-3 times daily, but also read a baby should eat 5-6 days out of the week. Due to my schedule I am only available to offer meals in the AM before work and the PM after work. Yesterday I offered and she maybe ate 1 or 2 dubias and was done. I then put out a salad with collard greens and butternut squash. When I came home she maybe only ate 5 dubia roaches before she refused anymore. This morning I offered again and she outright refused the roaches. I have seen her nibble on some greens, but I don't believe she's eating enough to really fill her up. I just don't know what to do. It has been 2 weeks since we brought her home and there have been a few days she ate well. So is she still adjusting or maybe bored with the dubia roaches? Or should I stop offering her bugs daily and just do 5-6 days a week like I have read? I know there are a lot of questions in there, but I just feel lost right now. I'm a first time beardie owner and I'm really stressed over it. I want to make sure our girl is well cared for.
