Picky adopted beardie

[smokindaisy]

I adopted a 3 year old beardie who has been with me now 3 days. I understand that he is stressed and probably won't eat for a couple of days, but when should I be worried and what should I feed him to make him want to eat. He has eaten 1 waxwom in 3 days and a little water off my finger today.

Hi,
congrats with your new beardie. I think that offering daily a fresh small salad is ok to start with. Add vitamins to it. Also, keep on offering daily some easy-to-pick insects (like superworms or phoenix worms) with a tweezer. It might be good to keep two or three fixed times a day for this (in the morning, in the afternoon, whatever seems best for you). When it starts to eat the worms, you can start offering crickets and grasshoppers in small amounts, turn up the amount until it eats what it daily needs.

Cheers,
J.
