Hello,
This morning it vomited after finally showing interest in food. Yesterday it ate 7 crickets and 5 roaches (extra small)
It had only been eating 2-3 insects a day. Not sure what I need to do if anything? I did hold back this mornings insect feeding. Below I copied a post from last week for more history on my situation. Also, noticed humidity got real high last night around 50 usually stays at 40. I’m getting a dehumidifier for the room it’s in today and adding some more venting.
I am a new beardie owner! Not sure how old or sex, it was 5.5 inch long, 7.6 grams when I got it. I am Having some concerns... I have had it about 5 weeks now. I got from local big box pet store( i know now, not the best choice ). No eating much for 2 weeks now. After about the first two weeks it started eating more insects but only 2 Dubia roaches (size no bigger than space between eyes) per day. It did this for one week then went back to eating 0-2 per week. I tried crickets but nothing. Won’t touch greens. Drinks during bath once a day (started bathing after one week). It had reached a weight as high as 8.6 but then went back down 7.6. I just can’t get it to eat!!!!!
Set up:
Melamine 4x2x2
Sliding glass doors at front
Repti sun 10.0 t8 24inch (closet it can get to it is 5 inch)
50watt basking light
18 inch Florescent at cool side for lighting only
CHE- 60 watt for little extra heat
Temps:
Basking 115-95°F (depending on location)
Hot side 95°F -30% humidity
Mid 90°F- 35% humidity
Cool 85°F - 40% humidity
Night temp gets no lower than 69°F but usually around 72°F
Substrate:
Tile
I run lights for 13 hours( I have read 12-14hr)
