Alright. So, my beardie hasn't been eating his crickets lately.. and he's starting to get pretty skinny. I've tried Phoenix worms and he loves them, but the problem is they're very small and the pet stores here only sell them in small amounts.. so, today I decided to get him some small superworms. Not mealworms, since I know those can impact them.
He ate one, on his own.. since I've been having to force feed him. He's fairly small. I'd say he's a two or three months old. But he certainly managed to get it down easily. After eating one, he just went back up to his basking spot.. sat there for a while.. then came back down, did some usual active beardie stuff, and hasn't eaten anything else. I also got him some crickets in case the superworms were of no interest either or don't settle in well.. I heard it's fine if he's able to get it down with no problems, though. I had to force feed him another since his belly is still flat. I'm very worried, but so far the only food he's ever shown interest in is pantry moths and Phoenix worms.. what do I do? I keep having to force feed him everything and I feel it's leading to him disliking me. :/
