Hey all, my name is Tom and I am the proud new owner of a gorgeous 11 month old Bearded Dragon whom we have named Gizmo!
My girlfriend and I have been looking to get a beardie for quite some time now, and finally took the plunge last Friday when we noticed one for sale in our local area via Gumtree and we had to have him! I've attached a picture of him below!
This should probably be posted in a seperate section of the forum, but one small concern we are having is his eating. Is it common for beardies to stop eating for a few days when you first get them? We watched him eat 6 mario worms before we took him home, but since we brought him back he hasn't touched a thing... Not even locusts! We have had him checked out at our local reptile specialist pet shop and he says he is perfectly healthy and that we should keep him on greens (Though he hasn't touched these either!) for a week and then introduce live food back into his diet.
