| Well veg is the most important really but staple bugs should really be crickets or locusts over worms due to their high fat content. if beardie has neve had then you may need to de-legg them to start with. |

If he's eating his veg i wouldn't worry too much if he's still active and alert, maybe sprinkle that with whatever supliment your using (reptivite/cricket dust) so he's getting some calcium and vits. He is creaping in to adulthood now when they start to eat more greens and less bugs anyway, that combined with the recent cold spell could explain it.
The only other thing to concider is when was his UV bulb last replaced? Recomendations range from 6 months to a year before they start to degrade but if he's having trouble digesting bugs from lack of UV he may just stop eating them.
Hope that helps, if you are still worried it's always worth a vet check just to put your mind at rest. |
