Okay so My boyfriend and I just bought a pretty sick bearded dragon a little over week ago. I've been feeding him the carnivore/critical care mix with liquid calcium and acidophiliz and baby food.
He is literally terrified of his feeders and as soon as he sees movement from them he takes off and runs away. If he's in his hammock and I put one by him, he will flop right off (he's pretty bendy and soft from mbd)
Now, I love him already but I don't think we have the time to hand feed him for the rest of his life. How do I get him to eat live feeders? Idk if he was traumatized or bitten by bugs or what but bandit and bailey attack their feeders like there's no tomorrow and he runs from them...
He's also not showing much interest in greens though he has nibbled at them slightly.
Now, what else should I be doing?
Any good ways to get him to TRY a feeder ?
