Help with feeding that is freaking me out.

[theimmortaljedi]

My 10 month old baby just stopped eating crickets three days ago. She will eat all her greens, and I offered her a meal worm(I feed her these once a week) and she ate it up. Problem is meal worm is dessert. No protien. Nothing has changed inside her tank. It is new england but her tank always stays the same. Anyone know why she would do this? I got her to eat a cricket after 20 minutes of waving it in her face then not one more. Offer some greens though she will snatch them right out of my hands like they where the best thing ever. IS this normal? WIll she be ok like this? Will beardie rob themsleves of protien or will she get hungry again for them in a few days? I hope someone can help becasue I am worried about her.

some dragons get tired of eating the same insect all the time. Probably best to find a different type of bug for her, at least for awhile. Meal worms do have protein just not alot and they are full of fat. Super worms are a good one to try.

Thanks for replying!!!!!!!! Would grasshoppers be a good one.

grass hoppers are good but if they are wild caught you have to worry about chemicals or parasites. I personally feed wild caught at times and have no problems but I know its always a possibility.
