I've had my 3 month old Bearded dragon for about a week now. We were hoping to feed him mostly Phoenix worms as a staple but aside from eating a couple of them the first day he arrived he won't touch them. So we were forced to go out and get crickets. I'd LOVE him to at least start eating some Phoenix worms so that we can keep crickets to a minimum but so far, no luck.
Everything seems good in his cage - basking between 102-106, cool side between 76-82.
He's eating about 15 crickets a day and for the first time yesterday at a lot of his salad (dandelion greens, squash, collared greens). Other than the crickets, he won't usually eat much when we're watching him but I think he's starting to become more comfortable with us and is letting us pet him and move him within he cage. So far we haven't really taken him out of his cage yet since he still has some stress marks. They have started to fade a lot but we're trying not to handle too much until he's settled.
Is there any way for me to get him to like his Phoenix worms? Should I try Repti-worms (i know their supposed to be the same but wondering if there's any difference for taste). How about Silk worms? How to you keep and care for them?
