I have recently got 2 adult dragons 1 male who is doing fine and 1 female who seems to be fine but she isnt eating... As ive only just got them when I put the first load of food in (kale, apple and cucumber) none of them touched it even tho they both apear to know its there but walk straight past
Not a problem as my last bearded dragon would only eat fruit n veg as a last resort
BUT I put morio worms in nice and fresh bought from a good well knowen and busy exotic pet shop... The male chowed down, munched and scoffed but the female didnt even bat an eye lid... Even waved one in her face and still nothing... So today I bought some large locusts and took the male away to give her full opportunity to eat what she wanted but still nothing
By this point she was looking drained of energy and I forgot to say that none of them are interested in water dishes so I took the female out and put her in the bath with some warm water and she had a good drink and once she was back in the viv she looked nice and alert so I left her with the morios n locusts and placed the male in the bath.. . Same again... took a nice big drink of water
But I dont know if the female has eaten anything and would appreciate any advice before I bother my mates at the pet shop
The previous owner said they love kale, morio worms and locusts... Ive offered all three and the female has turned her nose up to all... Previous owner said they ate on sunday (before he gave them to me) both beardies have had a poop within the 4.5 days ive had them
