Hi there,

I'm Jack and this is Aloysius.

Aloysius is hypo, about 3 months old and I've had him about a month. I say him, the chap said "I'm almost certain it's a boy but not enough to bet my life" so I'm going with that for now.

Aloysius is really jumpy, not in a nervous way, he likes to jump, he leaps up and down onto his branch, apparently walking along it isn't as fun. He's very friendly and happy to be handled, he'll walk onto my hand if I put it next to him.

My one concern is his diet, he was raised on meal worms and cress. While he settled in I fed him the same and have tried introducing other foods, both veggie and live, but he's just not interested, except for morio worms, he loved them. Should I stop with the meal worms completely and see if he'll try other things if he gets hungrier? Also what are the most tempting thing thing to try him with? Crickets and wax worms he just ignored.

Grateful for any advice, thanks.

Welcome to the forum ---
Here is a website for nutrition http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder -- please keep feeding the morio worms and dubia roaches are good as well as silk worms -- please NO more meal worms he is a baby and they can cause impaction in babies as the exoskeleton on meal worms is harsh for them --

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
