Hey everyone, I have recently joined the world of beardie owners. I'm Ryan, and below is Sandy, whom I got a week and a half ago. Obviously, she is not a youngin'. 4 years old, her previous owner had life changes and could no longer give her the love and attention she deserves and was looking for a new, loving home. So she's been provided one.
I've done my bit of research, since this is my first beardie. Seems to be some conflicting information and all, but generally good stuff to go on. I was a little concerned about her adjustments to her new home, but she seems to be doing fine, for the most part. She's bonding with us, seems to feel comfortable as she'll easily go to sleep on or near us. She gets to explore the house, too, and loves to find new shady spots to plop down at.
I say mostly, though, because she's not hand feeding, nor is she eating any plant food. Her previous owner said she loved blueberries, bananas and kale, so I know she was fed plant stuff... but she's not having any of it here, yet. Crickets or bust. And I know at her age, that's not a good diet. I've tried a few different tricks to get her to eat greens, but no avail. I'm hoping it's still just moving stress. All I can do right now is keep trying.
