ha all, i'm kinda of worried about one of my BD's, he seems to not really like his crickets and silkworms that much, he LOVES greens, and eats an obsene amount everyday but i feel that he isn't putting on enought weight, i feel like he too thin, i don't have any measurements on him. has anyone had any similar problems like this?

Maybe try pellet food, or put the worms in the greens. Mine loves anything edible, so I don't have much experience with picky eaters.

hi
you should consider you zelf abit lucky !!
most of the beardies not like greens and thats most of the time the problem.
so if youre eat greens then you should be happy
do you dust the cricks ????
could be the dusting powder he not like ???

I kinda know what you mean. My beardie has eaten crix but just lately has decided he didnt want them. He eats his greens alot easier than the crix. I dont even have to drop the greens in to simulate any movement to attract him. I just put them in there and leave and he goes right to them on his own. He wont eat the pellets either, lol. I did use a supplement to dust them the other day, so I'm thinking that might be the problem. I'm going to try to find a new type of supplement. You could try the T-Rex bearded dragon foods. The veggie growth formula for on the veggies. Then you will know he is getting all the stuff he needs.

Doesnt Like crickets?? I wish I had that problem today. I went to the petstore and bought three dozen crickets,got them all set up in the cricket keepers and set them on the table to do something. When I turned around my three year old had knocked them over and let them all loose!!! ARGGGG!!! I'm still catching crickets! Lesson learned I wont set them within reach anymore...!

I know what you mean. My son almost dumped 1000 crickets yesterday (he's almost 3). I would have died if they had got out. I caught the cage just as it fell over, so only one got out. Ya really gotta watch with kids, lol.
