so we have a 3 month old baby beardie who my son named dizzy lizzy until we find out if it's a boy or girl. we are new beardie owners and I've been reading alot but still have a few questions so any answers are appreciated. first off, how Did u get ur beardie to eat fruits and veggies because ours will only eat crickets. I've left different fruits at different times and his greens daily in the cooler part of his tank and he will not touch them. when I tried warmer side the first day it dried out to quickly and he still didn't touch them. I've tried apples, strawberries, blueberries, and green pepper. along with the greens the pet store gave us. next I'll be trying fresh kale and collard greens. I also put them in there an hour before I give him his first round of crickets. I know it says 5 times a day for crickets is it normal that he will only eat 3-4 in one sitting? everywhere I read said he should be eating more.
second question, how Did u get ur beardie to warm up to you. dizzy freaks out with me just putting food in there and runs the terrarium like a mad man and tries to climb up the glass. I have only held it once when it was fearful in its bath and climb onto my hand. besides that he freaks out. He is my 5 year old sons pet and he talks to him but I don't want him putting his hand in there til we learn the proper way of keeping him calm to be held. so any tips or tricks will really help this new beardie mom. we have reptile carpet at the bottom. the feeding bowl and water dish came with the reptile tank (I know I will have to buy a bigger tank in a few months when he grows) along with the plastic cave thing that he sits on top to baste (is plastic safe for them?) I also added a hanging fake plant in 1 corner and a fake dessert plant in the middle which he seems to like. it also has rocks coming off the bottom for him to climb a little. i appreciate any info you guys can provide me.
