Crickets

[squeekz1992]

If a baby beardie isn't eating his crickets, could it be that he thinks they are too big/small??

Ordering smaller ones tonight! When we had 1/8 crickets, he chowed, now they are about maybe 1/4, and he wont touch but 2 or 3 of them.

Also, what are the absolute favorite worms of beardies??
I think a variety will help his appetite

1/4" crickets is plenty small for your BD. Have you tried feeding then walking away, leaving the room? Many times some BDs just don't want to eat while being watched, too distracting to them. But leave the room, peek back in a minute later & often they will be munching away. butterworms, phoenix worms, silkworms, wax worms, mealworms are all good treats. Supers once they are a little older.

Okay cool I was worried. Yep, he will only eat 1 or 2, but he is small, so maybe he just gets full? I've seen him eat before it was funny! Alrighty! I will order some He was so hyper tonight!!! He jumped all over the place! I was so happy! he even jumped from my shoulder to my bfs shoulder (about 1ft!!!) He's getting better I'm so happy Thank you for all your help!!
