Getting New Beardie to eat greens?

Johnstud56 Feb 18, 2004 08:40 PM

I just got him today, he ate nothing, do you think he will calm down in a few days and eat?

You've only had this dragon for about 8 hours at this point. It's going to take some time. Not only that but even perfectly normal young dragons tend not to eat greens. You could probably offer it more greens tomarrow, and maybe the day after tomarrow start in on crickets (unless you're going for a cricket free dragon). If it's really hungry it will eat the greens.

Give him time to acclimate, he has jet lag, LOL

Should be fine, as soon as he gets used to his new surroundings !
