My bearded wont eat like he used to

[sean fitzgerald]

Lately my bearded dragon lost his appetite . he only wants super worms and wont touch his greens or even his crickets. any help on how to break him of this or if id done something to alter his appetite unknowingly. Thanks , Bigfish

How old is he? I have an 18 month old that is doing almost the same thing. She was never really a big fan of greens. She used to love eating super worms but now I can only get her interested in maybe 1 or 2. It think she ate 3 today! She won't touch crickets anymore either. I believe someone else on the forum said that it is common for them to eat like a pig for a week and then not want to eat for weeks. I'm hoping this is the case.

Well Diego eats like a pig all the time but Boris goes through stages where he will eat everything we put in straight away to not eating ewt for days i wudnt worry they will eat wen theu hungy a lot of things can spow the eati.g dwn. Age weather they getting ready to shed or shedding. When they cold they wnt eat. So just make sure u keep offereing n he will eat wen he ready

3/4 of the.floor is tile with 1/4 of it (the basking end) a little sand pit with a few basking rocks. I swapped from sand to tile but they both like to sleep on the sand so i kept little sand pits

My boy camber was stuck on super worms he didn't want crickets at all it took about a week of him turning away crickets and not having any other bugs to start sucking down crickets again. So I will give super worms as a treat monthly and also pinky mice. Depends on the age of your beardie because the little guys will stay full from super worms for a couple days they are hard to digest for young dragons.
