I have been hand feeding Issey. Translation: He lunges to bite me and I stick a worm in his mouth. I had been doing this with my hand, but two days ago he bit the weewa out of my finger tip so I started using the tongs and it is alot harder to get the worm in his mouth with the tongs. He will let me pick him up if I go under,rub the chin and belly and then he crawls up on my hand. He never tries to bite me then. But when approached from above watch out. He does not like that. so anyway, his poops are very small (very small pea size)I am seeing what would amount to ten grains of sand in the pee department. My daughter's bearded dragon has huge poops and gently eats from your hand. Although today she is refusing. He has crickets in his cage and they are getting old or dying so I don't think he's eaten any of them. I find superworms, wax worms, and giant mealworms under the sand. I really think he is only eating what I have managed to get into his mouth. What to do!

hmm...well how many crickets are you throwing in there? maybe too many for him to eat? has your boy been checked for bugs? it can make them not hungry. do you ever sit there and watch him eat? are his temps right? sorry i don't have more to offer ya.

I put in five or six at a time when I see the previous ones have died. His hot spot stays at 100 and his cool spot is around 80. How do I check for bugs.
