This morning I fed my dragons some cockroaches, (feeder roaches from the Herpshop), as I usually do feeding each cockroach individually with a pair of tweezers. My oldest beardie usually doesn't eat many but this morning it eagerly ate four. As well the cockroaches this morning were all large.
Everything was fine and I moved on to fed my water dragons. When I glanced back I saw that the beardie had regurgitated a blood splattered cockroach. The cockroach was still alive. In the next ten or fifteen minutes the other cockroaches were also regurgitated.
The beardie looks ok still but I wonder how it will go in the next few days. If it doesn't look too good I will have to think of some way to euthanase it.
Perhaps I should have known better than to feed large insects to this animal as, unlike the Water dragons, it seems to swallow them whole rather than mashing them up.
