i got my baby beardie yesterday. i have had a salad in his cage since i got him, but he hasn’t eaten any. he ate three crickets yesterday, which i know isn’t enough for a baby. he also didn’t show interest in them until i held them with tweezers in front of his face, and even then he wasn’t eager to eat. he hasn’t eaten at all yet today and it’s already 1! he didn’t want any crickets, so i tried some small worms and he didn’t want those either!! i’m worried that he won’t get enough protein or calcium (the insects are dusted). the temperature and humidity are correct on both his basking side and cool side. he spends most of his time basking. he pooped yesterday, and it looked healthy, but it wasn’t from anything he had eaten since i’ve brought him home. i even tried to hand feed him some strawberries to get something in him! i know he needs time to adjust to his new home, but i’m just worried about him. is there anything i can do? thank you!!
