Hello. My veterinarian referred me to this website to get some help with husbandry for my bearded dragon. He said that I could find out the optimal temperature range and other tips for bearded dragons. I have a 3-year-old male beardie.He has never eaten his vegetables, and had a bout with intestinal parasites about 8 months ago. As a result I had to begin force feeding him Critical Care for Herbivores. This resulted in him getting pneumonia. Anyways, I took him to the vet today and he is healthy (finally) but I still can't get him to eat anything other than mealworms (which constipate him). I know I need to get him to eat veggies and crickets but REALLY need some pointers on how to do that. My concern is that if I continue having to force feed him, he will get pneumonia again. Also, the warm end of his tank is between 88 and 92 degrees. Is this good? Any help that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.



Thank you,
