Help my female beardie who is 3 - 4 years old will only eat crickets and occasionally super worms, she hardly moves around except to bask, and won't eat when handfed only if she catches the crickets herself, if I put superworms or salad leafs in her food dish she occasionally will come and get it, she may eat 1 leaf every 2 days, If I leave a lot of crickets in the vivarium she will catch and eat them all.
My male on the other hand won't eat nilch, even when crickets are running and jumping on his head or body will not move, only moves to espace into a cave at the moment he's been under a tree bark on the cool side of the vivarium he won't move from that spot for days, and gets annoyed when you move him(blows his beard up and gapes his mouth) in six days he's only eaten 2 superworms and 4 crickets(caught crickets himself but only when crickets were easy to catch and being lazy) Spike(that's he's name) won't eat when handfed either, I feel he may be very old, the petshop I got him only had one heatlamp no uvb light, and I feel they may of both(particualy him) gone into hibernation, I asked someone(not on this forum) who said the lizard sounds sick I should take him back and get another, but the truth is most of the lizards at the shop had problems like calcium defiencys and the ones that did'nt looked very grumpy.
If you want I'll try and send a photo of the male and will send a photo of female if that would help diagnose them, I'm thinking of either taking the male back or to the vet, I live in australia and I don't know how much a checkup would cost but I'm willing to pay what it takes but first I want to try some stuff myself, my mum is not keen on me taking him to the vet because of the cost and the fact they may not do anything(like your typical quack) having said that they could be excellent but I won't know either way until I've spent the money do you know any good vets in east gippsland, Victoria?
Any help with what I have said, and how to get them to eat their veggies and not just crickets and super worms, so far sophie(my girl) has eaten 4 salad leaves, lots of crickets, lots of superworms, 2 piece of strawberry and a few little flys that have come from the critter crumble which is made of coconut fibre which was recommended to us.
We are using Repti-Glo UVB tube(20W) and two heats lamps(75W each)
Basking area is 35 - 38 C , Cooling area is 22.9 C which sometimes goes up.
Thanks
ps: male recently went in the water dish and did quite a few poo's then went into cave again if that means anything.
