So my beardie hates being seen when he eats. He'll sneak over and grab a bite or two, but if he notices anybody watching, he runs right back up onto his rock. I've read you're supposed to feed insects 3x a day, as much as they'll eat in 10-15 minutes. But I can't get him to eat any while I'm around. Not even if I tease him with it right in front of his face. He eats a bite or two at a time when no one's looking--whether it's insects or salad. I've caught him eating both. Is it bad if I leave BSFL in his tank all day and let him eat them when he wants to? He's not eating many at this point--maybe 15 a day (I'm guessing he's between 2.5-3 months, based on his length). If I shouldn't leave them all day, how can I encourage him to eat them when it's time to eat them?
