Beardie not eating. Please advise

Postby Kelly » Mon Jun 15, 2009 7:30 pm

Hi,
My beardie has gone off his food, he has the occasional green food stuff but not eating any supa worms/crickets/roaches.
I'm worried, he sleeps late (doesn't come out to sun himself) I have to fish him out his hiding spot in the morning. He has a timer so is getting consistant "sun".

It has been pretty cold lately could that be half the problem? My other beardie has the same setup but eats well. They both have the correct lights and temps etc.

He still enjoys his (warm) baths and jumps around his cage, could he still be sick? :smt010 I hand feed or monitor all his live feeding so I know he's not getting protein, aren't they supposed to eat lots of the live stuff until they are older (he's about 7 months old now)

I'm worried. Should I use any preventative measures?
Any advice would be welcome

Thank you
So many critters, so little time...
