Hi all,
My names nathan, 21 from Melb Australia. I just got my first bearded dragon, his name is nero.
He loves crickets, but like some other members i cant get him to each his greens, so far i have only tried brocolli and a bit of peach. It all seems to dry out to quick in his tank if i leave it there.
Ive had him two days, and all he wants to do is each crickets, he ate about 10 smalls the first day, wouldnt eat the second day, i think because he jumped out of my hand on the way to the feeding tank and got a bit of a fright, and ate about 7 medium crickets today.
He spends a lot of time hiding behind his rock , and also a lot of time climbing his fake plant and just sitting at the top between the leaves. I have also put an upside down tupperware contained with a doorway cut out for him but he doesnt seem to want to go in there, is all of this normal?
He's pooping once a day. I think he has a broken finger though, it is bent up at the first knuckle, i've washed it for him and he doesnt seem to be in any pain, he didnt try to get away when i washed him, just looked around, i cant take him to a vet at the moment, but he is doing everything else fine and has no problems running around and climbing is there anything else i can do?
Have a look:
