Hi can anyone put my mind at rest I have been setting up my beardie's new home for weeks now and the last thing was the beardie but I have not seen her eat as yet she is between 3 and 6 months so not very big. I have checked all my temps are right I have live crickets and veggies and water. She is tending to stay in one one place and is a bit jumpy if it catches you walk past. Has anyone got any advice on how I can get her to eat ?
Thanks
 
I know it's the last thing you want to hear, but it sounds totally normal. Mine is just starting to settle in at around 2.5 weeks. Will he eat anything? When I first got Frodo he would only eat greens, now he's eating crickets and greens and started eating Phoenix Worms today. It's a tough transition for them.

Hi Thanks for your reply being as late as it is where you are can you suggest what veg to put first and what time did you give it till you started handling your beardie.

Many thanks

I started with Collard Greens because I had asked the breeder what he was feeding. I figured that would be the easiest transition. Now we feed collards, escarole, endive and swiss chard. We started handling him right away. He's doing well now :)

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!
