Hi there, I am new to the forum and to having a bearded dragon. I got my new baby, born Aug 29th, from the Repticon show this past weekend, Saturday. When I got him/her (not sure yet) so the temp name is Mr. Dudette, I was told to feed 10 super worms a day and the veggies. I gave 10 worms on Sunday and my baby went after them quickly and was interested. Then it pooped one of the worms in pieces. I spoke to the store owner and we discussed giving small Dubai's and less worms, as based on my reading and research, the worms are just not enough protein and are of a higher fat. That being said, since Sunday, my little one has absolutely no interest what so ever in any of the bugs. Mr. Dudette has eaten some of the greens yesterday and today, but I am so worried. I think I am more stressed than Mr. Dudette is, although I am sure some of it is stress of a new home and trying to get the temperatures correct. I had the basking side at about 90-95 but based on reading that was not enough, I believe I have it at 105 ish now and 80 on the cool side.
Any one who has any thoughts, advise, or knowledge of what to expect these first few days of become a dragon's Mother, it would be much appreciated.
