Refuses to eat anything with Multi-Vitamin dust on it

[darwin08]

My bearded dragon Darwin will not eat anything dusted with Herptivite Multivitamins dust on it. He is about 4 months old, and eats calcium dusted feeders fine. He will go up to what ever has the vitamins on it, give it a lick, then run away. Anything i can do to get him to eat his vitamins?

you can try mixing them with a little water in a syrenge and give it to him that way so he can still get his vit.s with out having to dust his food

There are some good vitamin sprays. Ones you can spray on his food and ones you can spray on your beardie. check out some local pet stores.

be careful with the sprays though some do not have good ingredients in them

the vit/water mix would be best

Thanks for the help. He ate it on his wax worm treats and through the syringe. Thanks a lot.

yep no problem

Be careful using the syringe. A beardies airway is right behind the tongue, let him lick it from the syringe or just add a drop at a time to the tip of his mouth/tongue.
