How old is my baby beardie?

leslieg123 May 13, 2011 11:26 PM

I got him Monday from PetSmart. He's tiny -- 2" SVL, 6" total length. How old do you think he is?

He's doing well so far, eating 1/4" dusted crickets with great appetite. I can't tell if he has eaten any greens. I've not seen him drink yet (tried a warm bath and putting him by his water bowl)but the crix are gut-loaded & hydrated. Should I be worried about him drinking?

Thanks,
Leslie

My bet is 4 weeks but nor sure try misting with a spray bottle. my baby likes it sometimes others she jumps around. dechlorinate and change water.

SInce its from a pet store I would definitely say its between 4-6 weeks of age.

Don't worry about it not eating greens, at that young an age, they don't tend to eat much greens. Always good idea to keep offering it and leaving it in cage. Eventually they will eat greens.
