She ate a NutriGrub but was aiming for a waxworm. Promptly ran away from the food dish and stared at me like it was all my fault... LOL!! (btw her tail is fine, just a weird angle)

I hate it when my beardie misses!! Does urs not eat if she misses consecutively? My girl is such a sass

OMG yes - then I get the stink eye... haha! Do you feed by hand at that point? I'm trying to train her to eat from her dish, but it's slow going since I normally break down and hand feed her to get her to eat since she's so young.

Yup typical stink eye, like its my fault she misses , ive hand fed her since she was a baby, a mistake but rewarding , i do give her a bowl of bugs if she protests a second day , they’re normally gone by the time i get home, some days she’ll only eat unless I make her food do a lil dance, beardies have alot of personality im finding , at first i was sad when I sexed my beardie , but im glad now , i dont think i could of handled a boy beardies crazyness.

haha!! Yes I have to wiggle the Dubias sometimes before she'll go for them... fierce apex predator that she is. I remember finding out ours was a girl a few weeks ago and I TOTALLY get the disappointment. The kids and I got over it pretty quick though. Same beardie, different name LOL (she went from "StripeSpot" - my son named her - to "Stripespot-ina" hahaha)

 

[Skybug]

Thats cute they didn’t change the name completely, the only feeder my girl will go craxy for is hornworms , when she sees one she will literally climb up and out of her enclosure after it, has stripespotina had them?

 

[Penelope]

Oh hornworms are awesome! They do kind of gross me out but whenever she is being a brat and won't eat, I'll put a hornworm near her and she'll light up. How old is your dragon?

 

[Skybug]

Yea they are kinda off putting, watch out they bite lol, I believe my beardie is around 1year and 4 months, give or take a couple months.

 

[Penelope]

Good to know about the hornworms thank you!!

Can the little black horn on hornworms do anything to us or our dragons? -- I've always cut it off just incase lol.

 

[Penelope]

Pretty sure they're mostly just for show! I poked a hornworm horn once, before I fed her one for the first time, and it was bendy (yuck gross ew). From what I've read they're just to deter predators - much like the bendy spines on our beloved beardies

Its just for show as far as i know, i hand feed and ive never been poked by it, NEVER feed hornworms straight from a tomato plant though, they’re toxic that way.
