I am new to reps and getting very worried because I want to do the best for them but short of liquidising and force feeding (only joking!) I don't know what to do next! Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi! I am also concerned. I adopted Gennaro the Beardie on Sunday (4 days ago) he is 9 months old. He doesn't seem to be fussed by crickets (there were 15 in his viv that I had to remove after I picked him up because they were climbing on him while he was sleeping), he does enjoy waxworms - a lot but they are hardly the most nutrious of foods. I know that he should be encouraged to eat more veg so far I have tried lettuce mixed with basil, rosemary, sage some different varieties of lettuce. I have tried red pepper. Apple and bananas and I just don't think that he eats enough. I work during the day so make it fresh before I leave for work, only offering wax worms every other day and in the afternoon when I return.

I have tried explaining to Gennaro that a growing Beardie like himself won't grow strong on wax worms alone.........he gives me the 'eye' but doesn't really listen.......PLEASE HELP! Should I just keep working my way through the food list?

Hi that is why a breed as muth feed a can for the dragons ,when i only buy food and not breeding anything i have for sure a bill of the double what you are paying now.And al the insect and mouses a bread wil also eat something it is not for free .That īs why i find it necesarry that why you have more dragons like us to breed your own feeding.
