Is it normal to not eat for a few days?

[Its_Not_Keenan]

I am currently feeding my beardie super worms and he is a little over a year old. I found that he wasnt really eat often like once every two or three days is this normal

Also from the picture can you tell if he is healthy I offer him food every day and have the right temperature just want to make sure.

He's gorgeous! Is he also eating greens/veggies? At 1 yr old, his diet should be at least 50% fresh produce.

yes it can be normal behavior in beardies. my Stryker eats every couple of days then nothing for about 2 to days then she eats again. how's your guys poop? parasites can also cause a lack of appetite and he should be checked at least twice a year for them.

Yes I offer him a plate of veggies every day or so. I usually feed him a mixture of collard greens and sometimes carrots

He usually poops the same day the he eats some worms. His poops are usually a bigger than this one

(he pooped in his veggie dish for some reason. I havent yet got him checked for parasites since I got him, do you have to bring him into a vet for that or is there something you can buy to check that.
