I am caring for my neighbors bearded dragon for six weeks. The only instructions I was given were keep the light on all day, give her 2-3 crickets a day and stick her in a platter of water every other day to see if she'll drink.
After 3 days it has become very apparent that this gentle, intelligent eyed being needs more. She immediately perks up when I spend time with her and she seems to want to eat anything green when I set her on the ground. There's a plethora of information out there, but I'm hoping I can cut thru the bs by posting here. Can anyone give some basic "bearded dragon 101" advice?
Her owner is developmentally delayed, but I'm hoping I can give him some easy tips when he returns that will make this bearded dragon's quality of life better.
I've never seen her eat a cricket. She aims straight for dandelion greens if they're in sight. I've tried fresh spinach in her tank, but she's shown no interest. She's not interested in her platter of water either.
I have to admit, I'm quite taken with her. I really want to make her time with me enjoyable for her. Thank you SO much.
