Bless your heart, poor things!



Mine were on the thin side when I first got them, but they have put on weight beautifully since. I just feed them as many flowers as I can find, lots of endive, bok choy, collareds, and chopped squash, and a tiny bit of fruit and beans, all dusted w/ cal. of course.



I also noticed that when their MVB burned out, they got super cranky and slowed on the eating. As soon as I replaced it, they perked back up again. So, I highly recommend putting a mercury vapor bulb over them and keep the basking temps on the high end of a beardie range, say 110-120 ish. They are very heat tolerant, and at least prefer the uvb.
