So I have posted a couple times that I couldn’t get my baby bearded dragon to eat. Turns out she is picky as can be. Today I have had success twice in a row ! After getting rid of the bowl and putting them on ground nothing, but today I was in a hurry and didn’t dust them in calcium and dumped them on top of her hide. She ate 9 out of 10 I put in there! Only one that she didn’t eat got off hide and she wouldn’t get it off the shelf liner. (When I came home it was gone so she ate it in the next couple hours at some point)
So for lunch I came home and tried again and put 10 in and again she ate 8 out of 10, just didn’t eat the other 2 that fell off so I picked them up and put them on her hide and she ate them!
I grabbed 5 more and dusted 2 of them lightly and dropped all 5 on her hide. She smelled the 2 dusted and walked away and ate the 3 not dusted. I threw another not dusted in and she ate it. So her problem has been the calcium powder! Which also explains why she was eating the wax worms I wasn’t dusting.
So how do I get her calcium?
I buy my roaches online 1000-3000 at a time and put em in a tote with egg crates and on on a top egg crate I fill some of the slots with flukers high calcium dubia feed and the green cricket/insect gut loader. But I doubt the little bit of that that they eat really is enough to not provide calcium?
She also won’t eat the reptivite with D3. So idk how to get her the vitamins as well.
