Beardie won't eat.

[Keegan Ellis]

hey everyone, this is my first bearded dragon. i have had him for about three weeks now and all of a sudden he stopped eating. then he shed and the same day ate some calcium powdered kale. that was about 5 days ago. when i first got him i fed him crickets. now i tried to switch him over to dubia cockroaches and since then he won't eat. should i switch him back to crickets? he is 10".

the cockroaches? all sizes. the guy gave me like 50+ for $6 breeding males and females, sub adults, babies, and then ones that are perfect size lol. i pick out the ones that are perfect size and feed to him. later i will go into town and pick up some crickets.

Crickets are much better for bearded dragons. You should switch back.

I would give him crickets because that's what he is used to eating. Once he fully settles in then I would try switching up his food.

Is there a chance he's impacted? Impacted beardies don't like to eat much.........

What's poop look like if he poops? Are the insects full digested etc? Is he hydrated?
