    Question beardie not eating???

    So I adopted a 3 year old bearded dragon a couple days ago and I have him set up with all the proper lighting and heat requirements and have a variety of foods for him but he will not eat any of it. I have tried crickets, meal worms and veggies.

    Are there any tricks to feeding that I should know? Or other foods I should try?

    I believe he was not on a healthy diet from the previous owners, as they only fed him meal worms and crickets. How do I get him on a healthy eating habits?

    Could it be an adjustment time to his new home? he was in a 40 gal and now he is in a 125 gallon.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    thanks,

    did you try feeding in a different container? and let him settle in and get use to his surroundings. how big of a tank do you have him in. 40 breeder is the standard size for an adult.

    He is in a 125 gallon tank so he has plenty of room! I have offered him all types of veggies, greens an fruits and now he has been eating well!
