so considering that, I would give this little one, all I possible can, crickets (about 2 week size) offer pellets, pleanty of greens. Once it is growing and established, then I would try and adjust its diet.



We have received several failure to thrive beardies and been able to get them all growing, some remarkably well.



We use pleanty of natural sun and if that is not available a good quality UVB light and as bright light intensity as we can get. We think that the the UVb, light intensity or BOTH play a role in the growth hormones.



Good luck with the new little one!
