my beardie isn't intrested in food

[AchiKat]

maybe once a day she will eat a few repti worms, won't touch her greens, and rarely licks water off her snout. i do NOT want to go back to crickets. looking for sugestions on what kinda worms to feed her. i know someone is gonna ask so here is the setup

basking temps 103-105
cool side 80ish (she never goes over there anyways)
reptisun 10 24" tube bulb within 6-8 inches of the basking lamp
tile substrate
she finished her shed a couple days ago.

like i said, she eats daily, just not much =/wondering if i should be concerned about this.

I saw a bowl before where it vibrates.... dunno if it's dangerous or would attract your beardie

I think she'd be scared of it. lol! I just don't know....she was eating really well and then she slowed way down 'cause she was shedding, but she stopped shedding a few days ago (everything shed. Head, back, tummy, legs, and tail.) and her appetite started to pick back up...but now it's down again. =/

I don't think you need to worry about it unless it carries on for a week or so. You'r set up is fine so your dragon still might be irregular due to the shed.

Okay, we'll give her some time. We're just worried about her...she's still so little (to us at least. lol)...can you tell we're "worried first time parents"? :lol:

Better to be worried and asking questions then to be uncaring and pay for it in the end.

This is so true!

 

[AchiKat]

would she be about to shed again so soon? she just shed a couple days ago, if this is the case, how do people keep themselfs from going bankrupt with dead feeders if they stop eating every week

 

[AchiKat]

she JUST finished off her shed, i think she just doesnt wanna touch the black reptiworms any more.

It is so hard not to worry. Henry does not eat as much as most of the other beardie babies I read about but he is growing and gaining so I try not to worry. I would just keep an eye that she is gaining wieght and pooping regularly.

 

[AchiKat]

She's starting to eat again! Turns out she is starting to shed. :shock:

 

[AchiKat]

who knows, her beard and face are shedding again

 

[AchiKat]

SHE'S EATING!!!!!

Just got our shipment in from Mulberry Farms (got the baby snack pack) and we put a few of everything in her dish and she's chowing down like we've been starving her for weeks! :lol: Hopefully she will keep this up!

She still won't eat much of her salad though. :roll:

 

[AchiKat]

Just an update...
She's been eating tons and she's 41g/10" long! :shock:
We just got a colony of Dubia for her and she LOVES them! Check them out!
