quick question. our bearded dragons are kind of snobby when it comes down to food. leatherface seems to be more into veggies more than crickets. he'll eat the crickets on occasion and just went through a shed. the youngest actually hunts for crickets however sometime he just kind of gives up looking for them. i'm nervous about the 15 minutes of feeding rule because if they don't eat any of the crickets what should i do? offer them up again in another hour or wait till their next feeding time. it's hard to tell when they are hungry and i leave fresh veggies in both of their enclosures to try to get them used to it. i did notice that i dropped a few in leatherfaces cage and he ate them after i left but i'm sketchy about leaving crickets in there...even in the day time.

update: i've started leaving the veggies out of the cage until the evening. they seem kind of :angry5: about it but i feel that it's important as their caretaker that i get them on a good solid schedule.

As I've mentioned in a different post, they may be tired of their staple. It may be a good idea to try and offer some variety. I'd stick to the 10-15min rule and offer a couple of times per day. I'd leave the salads in place, especially if Leatherface is into them.

he really does. i think another part of it is that they are terrible hunters atm. heisenberg picked it up though. hes had 30+ crickets today. i try to stay away from mealworms. the only alternative atm is dusted wax worms. some places won't ship past a certain day.

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!
