New beardie not eating

[kimmy624]

I just picked up my baby yesterday. She ate one superworm while we were there, then 2.5 when we got home around 2pm. And I think she regurgitated them overnight.

Nothing really since. I just got her to eat a few pieces of collard greens from my hand but that's it.

She seems to be behaving fine and has pooped twice.

The warm side her her tank is about 110 and the cool side at 78.

She's just the sweetest thing, I love her already!

Hi. Can you give a rundown of the setup? How big is she? She needs to be 16 inches or bigger for superworms. Make sure she basks at least 2 hours after eating so her food is digested.

She's 10.5 inches in a 40 gallon tank. The reptile guy said the supers would be good for her. She seems happy to eat greens from my hand but that's it.

She seems to really like human interaction.

Perhaps she's just adjusting?

Yes she probably does have relocation stress but they don't puke from it. They puke from feeders being too big. Do not feed her meal or superworms. They will cause her to be come impacted. The super worms are ok for adults 16 inches. But they and meal worms are hard for babies to digest no matter what the "reptile expert " at the pet store said. You are better off feeding her crickets, Phoenix worms, silk worms and dubia ( depending on where you're located). No feeders bigger then the space between her eyes.
