Hi, I'm a new owner of a beardie but I'm having some trouble getting him to eat anything. For some background: i was given 2 beardies as a gift a few days ago and I'm doing my best to learn how to take care of them. The previous owner says they're about 4 years old, one male, one female. However, the male seems rather small/underweight for his age, presumably because he's been housed with the larger female since before I adopted him. I'm working on getting them separated as soon as possible. I've had them for about 4 days now, but the male refuses to eat, and since he's already quite thin I cant help but worry. I've tried him with mealworms and a variety of veggies so far, but he seems completely disinterested. I've ordered some dubias which should be coming tomorrow, so I'm hoping he'll be more interested in those, but is there anything I can do to encourage him to eat? I know that not eating is common after being relocated, but it's starting to worry me- I'd like to get him to a better weight as soon as possible!
