Hi!
Yesterday I brought my new 2 month old beardie home. Obviously, as it's so young, it's hard to tell the gender - if anyone else has been in this situation, what is the solution? Do you assume it's a boy or a girl so you can name it?
Also, wondering about feeding: One of the ladies at the petshop I got "him" from has her own beardie at home. She told me to feed "him" mealworms, crickets and salad. So far "he" has eaten mealworms but won't touch his greens. Is this just because he's stressing about a new home, or is he fussy? I've read here that mealworms aren't great for them, so what would you suggest?
Hasn't pooped yet, and I'm confused: I've heard from one person that they'll go every day (a bath is great to help it along), another person that they only go a couple of times a week. Which one?!
Other than that he/she loves being handled already, though I've been instructed not to do too much as he/she is still so small. Gave him/her a bath this morning and after I dried him/her off, she wouldn't go back into the terrarium, kept crawling up my arm and snuggling!
Thanks for your help!
