Hi Guys
Apologies if this has been asked a million times before. I did search but didn't find any answers.
I got a inland beardie on Thursday. He is five months old and I've set him up in a 4x2 enclosure with rocks, driftwood and sand. He's got a 100w heat bulb and 10.00uv. On Friday he demolished about a dozen crickets, catching them one by one in his enclosure (half in the morning and half in the afternoon), ate most of his veg and poo'd. Since then he has eaten nothing. I was told he'd been tong fed so I tried that today (Sunday) but no interest. There are a couple of crickets in there now as I couldn't catch the buggers but he's ignoring them. How long can a baby go without food? should I just leave him longer to settle or keep persevering with trying to get him to eat?
Any advice welcome.
Thanks for your help.
