Hello!
I recently adopted a female 2.5 y/o bearded dragon who seems to be very healthy but I'm thinking her previous owner did not feed her properly and I'm wondering if anyone has advice for me.
To start, she is in a 20 gallon tank... much too small. However, I have a 120 gallon enclosure being delivered very soon.
But, worse than that, she was never given fruits and vegetables until I got her about a month ago, only dried bugs - not even live. She is now being offered a wide variety of foods including greens, various vegetables, fruits, and live bugs.
At first, she was eager to eat her greens but now she has slowed down and has not been eating them for a couple of days now. I read that some dragons can get used to eating bugs and will develop a preference for them but I know it's important she gets her fruits and veggies - does anyone have advice? Should I bring her to the vet to be checked, just to be sure she's ok?
Thank you in advance for any advice you can share!!
