My beardie, Seamus, is about 3 months old, and I've had him for a week now. When I got him from a local pet dealer he had previously damaged his left eye during a fight with another dragon over a cricket, but other than that was in perfect health. When I got him I was given the wrong information about lighting and noticed him not eating and becoming very lethargic because of lack of vitamin D. But after finally getting his UVB, UVA, and heat sources to the right levels he improved with appetite, weight gain, digestion, and activity. An employee at one of the many pet stores I've been to (a bearded dragon owner himself, his without a tail) suggested that I try feeding Seamus mealworms, since due to his impaired sight he might not be able to see the crickets well enough to catch and eat them. He loves the mealworms, but I've recently read that mealworms aren't good for a juvenile dragon. He's also not very interested in his greens. Does any one have suggestions on feeding a bearded dragon with vision issues?
