I just have a couple questions. This is my first reptile. I've done a lot of reading on here and I ordered a book yesterday which should arrive tomorrow. I picked up my baby beardie the other day on Saturday 3/4/17. I realize that It can take anywhere from a week to a month or 2 for him to adjust. He his active. I have a small 10 gallon tank for now since I had one handy and it has been cleaned prior to pick up. I plan on making my own tank vs spending a a lot on a 40 gallon or bigger tank.
His coloring is good. His tail is whiter than the rest, he has been rubbing his head on the log that is in their which i read can indicate a pre shedding habbit (right?). He's very active and alert. Likes to be held. I have a timer for the basking light from 9am to 9pm, I work 2pm-11pm. I come home to feed him on my lunch break around 7pm. The basking area is 95 degrees and he has two logs to hide under.
He has pooped once in his water dish the day after I bought him, I did clean it right after that. It's only time he's pooped which concerned me. But I did read it's normal for him to eat less during the shedding process and after moving to a new home. I do mist him once or twice a day, until I actually see signs of him shedding then I'll then misting him more. Also how many times a day should he be pooping or how frequently should it be
I'm having a hard time getting to eat veggies. He'll eat a small piece of strawberry but no more than that. He'll drink from his dish once in a while. I'm making a back drop to stick on the outside of the back and sides of his tank to make him feel more at home. He has zero interest in kale or other veggies so far. I've read to feed him insects one day, veggies one day, and nothing the next. I take out the crickets he doesn't eat. I do feed the crickets. His water dish is shallow so he doesn't fall in and drown. I use tap water with the zoo med balancing stuff that makes it safe for him to drink. Substrate is kind of like a felt material. I got him at a petsmart. His label said fancy bearded dragon. He's active at when left alone and likes to be held. He'll sleep in my hoodie pocket when I'm on my bed. I do have 2 cats. I shut my door when I leave for work so they can't pester him. Is there anything else that I can do? I've tried all the tricks I've read to get him to eat veggies and I understand that it takes time. I can post pictures too
