I got my new Beardie 4 days ago. (Friday afternoon) She is about 7-8 month old. I am having trouble getting her to eat. On Saturday afternoon she did eat some. 7superworms and some salad. She has not eaten much since. I Gave her a bath on Sunday and she pooped a lot. I did figure out that I was not supposed to give her superworms. She will not eat crickets. She will not even show any excitement over them. I have been able to get her to eat a couple of Dubia's by hand feeding her. She picks at her salad. I am giving her a variety of collard greens, mustard greens, cactus, butternut squash, yellow squash, cucumber, apple. Just too see what she likes. I have her in about a 60gal tank. Her temps in her home are about 103f to 80f from Basking area to cool side. I use slate in her home. I made sure to get everything listed on the "recommended newbie" list posted on this site.
I got her from a local family owned pet store. She was in a home with dirt with a little bark, the lights at the pet store seemed cool to me, there was another beardie with her and a box turtle. She seemed very happy and alert when picked her up and handled her throughout the store. In the tank there it was a huge octagon open top she was very dark and lightened as I held her.
At home she loves to be out with me and is out a lot. When she is out she is very active and seems very happy. In her home she gets stress marks and darkens up some.
Oh, and I have phoenix worms on the way, since there is nowhere close to get them had to order them. Will be here in a couple more days.
PLEASE ADVISE :?
