My Beardie Cant Catch His Food

[MangoFeet3]

So my little buddy Elvis has been acting really lazy lately. He just sits on his rock all day and just lays there. Even when I put his crickets in with him he just lays there and watches them crawl around. He usually will hunt them down like a crazy dragon. But he wont move to get them and when he does he cant catch them. He will just go to get them with his tongue and just miss like 3 times in a row and just forget about it. I recently have been giving him Reptaid (http://www.reptaid.com/) hoping this will help him improve but its been about 4 days and i see no sign of improvement. Please somebody help me Im worried.

Have you tried laying him on your hand and just taking him to the crixs? I know it sounds crazy but one of my dragons wont eat, well he pretty much does what your dragon does, but he olny does this when he is shedding. It works for me, you should give it a try, you never know. :wink: GOOD LUCK

Yeah I just take my tongs for crix and just feed them to him that way. He will eat them if i do that. Im thinking he just might be spoiled and might just have me whipped :whip: And is being a little booger. Im just hoping he isnt sick or anything

You can try feeding worms, they don't need as much chasing. My beardie now prefers worms (silkworms, butterworm, supers) because she became lazy. I put the worm bowl a few steps away from her, and she gets up and go eat them with appetite. But with roaches, she just waits until the roach walks right in front of her mouth, and if she misses she waits for the next time the roach comes close.
