Sorry to bother everyone, but I have noticed that my beardie Falkor has always had a problem of eating her food (live feeders) very fast. I was feeding crickets and phonix worms and never noticed it as bad... until she started getting larger and I decieded to give her superworms and wax worms occassionally- now more than ever I notice she can eat 12 of them in 3-4 bites... Gone in 4 seconds. She has no problem eating salad either (which I'm extremely happy about, she eats 1-2 full salads per day) - but when she poops I notice all of her live feeders are still whole (as she may only chomp down once before swallowing them (I have noticed this and think, OMG... she's such a piggy). Now I'm getting concerned that she may not be getting any nutrition from her food (I do use vitamin supliment 2 times a week and calcium 3-4 times a week on the live feeders), but I'm just concerned. Any suggestions on how to get her to SLOW down w/ the eating, so she can digest better? And for anyone w/ questions- I do provide UVB- I NEVER let her go to bed (lights out) until she has waited atleast 3 hrs under the bulb. It's a Reptisun 10.0 tube, for anyone wondering. Her tems on the basking side are anywhere from 99-105, and her cool side is around 87-93. I use a digital probe for the readings.
Any advice or concerns would be greatly appriciated. Thank you! :?:
