i tell ya, if you have ever raised/ helped raise a child, beardies are a damn close second to having a 3 year old. it all goes in the mouth, they think they are superhuman invincible, and don't you dare try to clean my face up after eating!is that normal for them to lick everything?
Haha. I have 2 girls 7 and 8 yo. They never really had the put everything in mouth obsession though. Maybe that only went down when I was at work.i tell ya, if you have ever raised/ helped raise a child, beardies are a damn close second to having a 3 year old. it all goes in the mouth, they think they are superhuman invincible, and don't you dare try to clean my face up after eating!
Loose substrate and mealworms are not a good idea--- too much risk for impaction on both accounts -- they lick everything and the exoskeleton on meal worms are too harsh on babies stomachs. Hes going thru relocation stress so you need to give him time to adjust to the tank and surroundings. As long as hes eating a little for now hes good as he adjusts to his tank and surroundings his appetite will come. The vet visit is too soon and will cause more stress on him. Make sure the surface basking temps are good and his UVB that is extremely important. He also needs to stay hydrated please drop water on his nose to see if he will lick dragons will not eat if they are dehydrated.He is extremely active this morning, going back and forth exploring his enclosure. I put him in the feeding bin but all he wanted to do was escape the bin, he had no interest in eating.

I am using 3 small mealworms in his salad bowl to try and entice him. I hope that I do not end up with another beardie that refuses to eat. I have e mailed the one vetenarian in my area I found listed on arav.org requesting an appointment to get him checked out.
He has some Dubai Beetles in a bowl in his enclosure. The bowl has a lip so they can not escape. We are going out for most of the day so hopefully he will relax and chow down.
