Some answers for you:



OK. here I go.

1) My beardies are all a little over a year old and are not eating greens. I just got them recently and they refuse all greens. The guy I bought them from said they ate greens for him. Could it be the temps? I upped the temps because they were kinda low.



-A- dragons in their new home need a few weeks to settle in. They may not eat salad in this time. However, offer a variety of greens and offer them all the time. Adult dragons really don't need much insects, so offer insects only a few times a week. They will start eating their greens when hunger. You can also bury the superworms under the salad (cut fairly fine, and slightly damp so it sticks to the superworms).



2) Sometimes when they eat their superworms the next day I find what seems to be pieces or halves of the worms in the cage all over the place. What could be happeneing? Could this also be temperature related?



-A- possibly they are regurgitating the worms. Or, since the exoskeleton of the worms are not digested, could just be the undigested remains of the superworms. Or you ahve a bunch of worms living in your cage and shedding their skins.



3) Once I get this all figured out and they are all healthy I was thinking about breeding my dragons. What would you recommend for incubation?



-A- Hovobator incubators are typically what is recommended.



4) Also, if they don't take greens for some reason what is the healthiest diet I can provide?



-A- It is best to get them eating greens, when adults 90% of their daily diet should be greens, veggies and fruit. Bearded dragon pellets could also be used but they are not as good as a healthy fresh diet of greens. Talk with the breeder you bought the dragons from and ask what greens/veggies he was using and in what portions, try to duplicate this diet, it may get your dragons eating again,as they will be eating something very familier.
