Hi

I got i bearded dragon 3 days ago and he seem to be doing good he ate 15 crickets the first day we got him the pet store said we could feed him when we got him home and he ate them the 2 nd day he are 30 crickets and a little fof his veggies put to day he will not eat a thing I just don't know.... Also why do thay sometime lay with there mouths open...and how much do they shead Thank you for any help you can give.. he is about 10 in head to tip of tail

he just throw up some crickets I think it ones that are to big for him but the store said were fine I sould have known better..

Describe what living conditions did you get him from...and what he is living in now. What type of light do you have on him...and what temp? Does he move abnormal...do you see any thing in the feces?

The pet store that I got him from is not as bad as some Iv seen.I got my ball python from the some place and they said then that they don't feed to much becuses they do not want them to grow. My ball eat 1 mouse as soon as we got him home and when I got my bearded dragon he did to they said thay were feeding him 2-3 times a week and he is only 10 in long. Sometimes you'll see 6 balls in one tank other then that there are healthy when I took my ball to the vet which I do after a get any new reptile he came back fine...The dragon seems active in is getting vary good aroud people in his temperay tank here its 30 gal with basking rocks at 100 and the overal temp of the tank is 89 dring the day 73 at night. But after not eating all day on the 24 around 7:00pm he throw up a good size ball of crickets. I think it was some oa the cricket we gave him the store we got the said that the bigger ones would be fine because there dragon can eat them.I should have know better in fact I did but I thought he would be fine ..I don't plan on getting crickes ther anymore they will not sort out the biger ones ......So we will see if he will eat to day thank you
