Hey Everyone.
I am a first time Beardie owner with a 7-8 month old rescue. These forums have been very helpful, along with the books I have been reading.
I have two questions regarding feedings:
1. I dust the crickets before I put them in his cage BUT do I need to dust his veggies too?
2. I soak his veggies in a water bath before I feed him, but since he is not used to me or my place, he has not been eating a whole lot. His previous owner had a water dish in his setup, but I have read they Beardies rarely drink from a dish because it is not natural for them.
How can I make sure he is staying hydrated while he is getting used to me? Spraying water on him 2-3 times a day? Using squeezed berry juice in the water dish to trick him into drinking from it?
Any info would be awesome. Thanks
