Hi All! Our Beardie is 7 months and in great health - active as usual, sassy and super cute About a week ago he started to only take 3-6 dubias, and today he refused them completely. Typically he’s eaten a lot more each day - at least 20. He’s still a champ at eating his daily salads (arugula, cilantro, and basil) and his poops still look pretty good. Although he has started “painting” with it now and then.
Any advice? Should I just keep offering and put his vitamin powder on his salad instead?

Keep dusting the insects -- what are you using for a UVB? NO coils please and basking temps what are they are how are you taking them? NO stick ons please digital probe thermometer and you want surface basking temps they should be 95-100 - he could be getting picky about the insects but you MUST have correct UVB and basking temps those two things are the most important thing in that tank
