Beardie chewing problem?? please help!!!!!!

[Sadie]

Should I feed her collards and mustards daily and should I put calcium and (when I get them) vitamins on top of them?

Feed her salads every day and dust the insects- not the salad- she is more apt to eat the insects that way you know she's getting the vitamins and calcium she needs--

 

[ZoeyTheBeardie]

I would feed salad daily is what I do. If they don’t like salad leave it out during the. My baby as he gets hungry will come down to eat a bit of greens. And iw Luke dust with multivitamin

Okay thank you so much for all the help, I'll definitely get some salad things for her soon

I was reading about these earlier do they infest houses or anything and how long does it take for them to turn into flies?

No they don't infest houses- depending on how old they are when shipped out it takes awhile - if they do turn to flies they can be fed to the dragon----- your gonna need a glass or ceramic bowl I will post a link for a bowl tomorrow- and more websites for insects and worms

I don't know anything about bearded dragons, but when tortoises start eating substrate or other non edible things it usually means they're looking for nutrients lacking in their diet. I've found that offering the animal a bit of Miner-All (mfg'd by Sticky Tongue Farms) gets them back on track.

No, my main function is to make sure to keep the spammers off the Forum and to keep the peace. But in doing my job I've learned a whole lot more about draggon-keeping than I knew before!

thank you so much I'll try to order the BSFL as soon as I can, for now I got some vitamins so he'll be healthy even if the BSFL takes a while to ship, how do I give her the vitamins and when the worms come in do I just release the crickets I had outside or can I give them to her until they die off

You need to dust the insects -- so if shes eating the crickets dust them w/ the vitamins and calcium -- you will not need to dust the BSFL w/ anything- who are you going thru to get the BSFL? did you get the UVB placed? You want to feed two types of insects - the BSFL and another one crickets or dubia roaches -- I recommend dubia roaches - try and get those at the same place you order the BSFL --- www.dubiaroaches.com has them they are called nutri grubs and get large- roaches the size no bigger than the space between her eyes length wise
