Hello,
I am SoccerStephie and I just got my first bearded dragon, Sully is 2 years old and I got him from a local pet store. Sully is very friendly and loves to be held and played with. The pet store had him in a 55 gallon tank with a female beardie, he got crickets and these pellets for food. She said sometimes they gave them romaine lettuce. I heard lettuce has no nutritional value for beardies so I got him collard greens and green beans. Sully loves to eat his crickets but the pellet food and the other veggies he does not seem to be eating. He did like carrot that I gave him the other day but I am wondering how do I get him to eat more of the other veggies? Also, I gave him his first bath today. I was very gentle and slowly got him into the water because I was told he has never been in the bath. Sully did not seem to mind the water as long as I did not put it on his head. Is there a way to get him more comfortable in the bath instead of just sitting there looking scared? Lastly, after I took him out of the bath his eyes took on a yellowish tint, I don't that this was there before but I cannot be positive. Should I be worried about this? Thank you for all your help and suggestions.
