Baby Fence Lizard

Question
We have a baby fence lizard, and he doesn't seem to be eating. We have tryed baby mill worms and he doesn't eat them.. The big pinhead crikects do though.. Should we try baby crikects? I dont think he has eaten for awhile, but he is still full of energy.. What should we do?

Answer
Hello Christina, Meal worms can be bad for his stomach. It will give him something like indegistine and that could be why he isn't eating. Mealworms should only be fed as a treat not an everyday food source (or staple). The baby crickets are great. Might be more costy but worth the health of your little guy. So stick with baby crickets. Take him off the worms. If he doesn't want to eat anything then you have a problem.

Let me know how things go, good luck.
