To anyone that has or has had a bearded dragon... How long can they survive with out food?
Are you saying you are keeping her in a tub with no basking area and no uv?I think the reason she wasnt eating was because she was in a dark area the whole time in a small containment area (didnt have a tank). So i put her in one of my bros snake cabinets (they are transparent) and she has a little light now fro ma window. I put a piece a lettuce and came back and saw her eating so i went to get more but when i put the lettuce in the same spot while she was eating she ran back to the back of the cabinet. i let her alone for a couple hours (i went to my summer job) and when i came back she didnt eat the lettuce i gave her when she ran away before...
i no... i had to keep her in the little thing cause it turned out the tank had a crack and hole and stuff. She still isnt eating the meal worms. she ate one when i first got her but nothing from then on... my bro isnt helping me at all in taking of these needs...he used to breed beardies.
Never mind... today my bro put crickets in and she ate them all... we just got the crickets... well she wont have any problems with food now and i have a light attached to set up, but its a very strong type of bulb so i have to leave it on for half an hour then leave it off for one hour etc. ill try to get a bulb for constant light.
Also in the plastic cup with all the crickets theres some black worm things with tons of legs. What are they?
ya instead of this bulb i will try to get a UV. how many watts should UV be? It will be the only bulb. also i put the crickets in a bag then some of the powder stuff and shake it. Crickets get completely dusted. I dont know if the worms are hairy, just that they have tons of legs.
