- Beardie name(s)
- Rango Rocky Balboa
Good Morning All,
We need help or suggestions. Last week we brought and received our beardie from Underground Reptiles. Well my husband named him Rango and I thought he needed a middle name so he’s Rango Rocky Balboa. He is currently 9in long and according to length he’s 4mo. We purchased a 20g tank (pictures will be attached) and have now decided to go bigger to a 40g but haven’t gotten it yet. We have done pretty well with temp and humidity on the hot side it’s the cool side that we have the issue with. He never really goes on the cool side anyway. We also purchased a heating pad and placed it on the outside of the glass. What’s the problem you may ask……he really does not eat. He may nibble. So when we first got him we went and got dry food and Rango didn’t touch it. We went to Petsmart and got crickets he did pretty good with that so we added more. I think them crawling on him and possibly biting him stressed him so we took them out. All in all he nibbles this is everything I’ve tried
Kale…..only ate 1 piece in a week
broccoli ……does pretty good but maybe 1 or 2 baby pieces whenever we can get him to eat
Grapes ….didn’t eat
Apple….didn’t eat
Red Peppers….didn’t eat
Celery …. didn’t eat
Dry Food …. didn’t eat
Meal Worms…..occasionally but has to be handfed
Dubai Roaches…didn’t eat
Organic Warm Applesauce…. Seems to like
Banana….seems to like
Shredded Carrots & Cucumber i just brought.
I’ve tried making a salad with some of the above vegetables with mealworms mixed in and he doesn’t touch it.
We never really see him eating unless we hand feed him. So idk he eating things when we not looking or what.
