QuestionIt got my Beardie only a week ago and i was told he would ate up to 20 crickets a day which he has but two days ago he just stopped! He looks at the crickets and then lets them run past! I have tried him with his Veggies and the basking temperature is 37*C he has fresh water every day and fresh veggies every day! Is it because he is shedding?
AnswerHello Reece,
Well, if you could tell me a little bit about your setup, that would be great. What type & brand of UVB light are you using, a flourescent tube bulb or a compact or coil light? What type of basking light are you using?
What are you measuring your temps with, a stick on thermometer, or a digital probe or a temp gun?
At 37 that is fine, but you could safely bump it to a range of 37-42 so he can pick where he wants. The cool side should be around 26-28.
Shedding can definitely affect the appetite though.
Let me know how he is doing.
