Update on my 5 month beardie

[Parker S]

I’m excited because I found out that the problem with him not eating is that he won’t eat anything but crickets. I’m so happy because I was about to take him to the vet 3 weeks ago because he wasn’t eating at all but I decided to get some crickets and see if he would eat and he did and he has been active eating and pooping now. I got a t5 light too so all is good

Ok so it sounds good but you want your dragon eating salads as well --- you can get some BSFL www.symtonbsf.com order large and do not dust them add them to the top of his salads - he needs to be started on salads now as he get older its going to get harder for you to get him to eat them - put the BSFL on top of the salads as lures to the bowl - these bowls work real good https://www.amazon.com/MACGOAL-Rept...uGQB&pd_rd_wg=tLkwE&ref_=pd_gw_ci_mcx_mr_hp_d
where is your T 5? Top of screen or did you put it inside the tank ? Distance and placement is key here for correct UVB rays

Yeah it’s on top of the mesh screen it’s half of it the tank. And yeah sometimes I can get a him to eat some vegetables he still refuses collard greens. When he is chewing a cricket I try to slip a collard green in his mouth too. Thank you

Ok so get some different greens like kale or turnip or some arugula maybe mix them - the screen on your tank is it a fine mesh screen like a screen door or a wide hole type - the T 5 has certain placement and distance

The light is 18” from the floor of the tank. And thanks for the food suggestions I’ll keep that in mine

Ok so the screen is blocking 30% of the rays for a fine mesh screen --- it needs to be inside the tank ---if your using a wide hole screen it can stay on top but the decor piece needs to be directly underneath 8-10 inches - if you need more help please ask and I can help you --
