So I have an adult beardie that is about 1.5 years old, weighs 530g and is 17in long (has a tail nip). He has been on an UNAUTHORIZED hiatus from any and all vegi's for the last 8 months :evil: but has been eating worms and crickets just fine, although lately is turning his nose up at crickets and dubia and would rather eat worms!
My question is...since he isn't eating any vegi's should I be dusting with calcium with D3 or without? He has been offered vegis daily despite not having eaten ANY in the last 8months, and occasionally I will drip baby food on his nose and he'll lap that up, (peas, sweet potato, squash and sometimes chicken) Otherwise he eats mainly superworms, hornworms and the occasional wax worms as treats. We tried Phoenix worms for awhile, but he was bored with them and even the large ones are not very big. Is it okay to dust the hornworms and superworms? I dust with calcium 3x a week and I also dust with Reptivite once a week.
Viv is stable, with a Reptisun 10 tube which was just replaced a couple weeks ago, temps with probe thermometer are 85 cool side,95 warm side, 105 basking spot. He's in a 4x2x2 viv we built ourselves and easily gets within 8inches of the uvb throughout 3/4 of the viv.
Any thoughts?
