- Beardie name(s)
- Cheese
Cheese is about one year old, and has started refusing salad over the past month. He is still eating calcium-dusted dubia roaches a few days each week, but not nearly as many as he did a few months back. Every time I give him horned worms he doesn’t hesitate one bit, though. I put bee pollen on his salad a few times, but even then he’s not interested. I’ve been sneaking collard greens with the worms I give him so he’s getting some veggies at least. He has been pooping normally also. He’s been laying in his hides a bit more during this time as well, but perks right up and runs around like usual and wants to go outside whenever he is out of the enclosure. His basking spot stays right at about 100F, and cool side is about 78-80F. He has the fancy Reptizoo T5 10.0 UVB (I think that’s the right info) that everyone recommends, placed on top of screen 10” from basking spot. Humidity stays around 30% during the day, but rises to about 40-50% at night when the lights are off. Night temp is usually around 70F, give or take a degree or two. He isn’t acting out of the ordinary other than being mad picky about food and lazy in his house! No black beard (although I’ve never seen his beard black), no agitation, no weird poos, no twitches, no other symptoms or strange behavior… any suggestions on why the sudden hatred of salad and how to correct his diet? Also is this something to get him to the vet about? He definitely does not appear sick or malnourished at this point, but I am a little worried if he doesn’t get a proper diet back that we could be headed that direction.
