Hi all, i have recently bought a spencers monitor but i never see him eat.. When i first got him i put him in a tub till i set up his enclosure properly which only took me a day. I put about 5 meal worms in there as he is only a baby (4 months old) and he ate 2 out of 5. I thought he was just in a bit of shock from the flights. His new enclosure is 5ft by 2ft by 2ft and i have got a largish sized heat mat that takes up almost half the enclosure and its on about 32-35 degrees, i know it should be hotter but he is only a baby and i dont want to burn him :/ Basically my question: I dont think he is eating too much and im just getting a bit worried, he always has food, hes got dusted crickets-medium and small sized, diced meat and ive half filled a cat litter tray with water, sand and feeder fish if he wants to eat fish.. I know, weird.
His substarte is half sand half bark chippings and he has just a basic grass plant in a pot. I have heard boiled egg is good for them but im not sure if hes too young to try it... Any tips on how i can get him eating better or some foods i havent mentioned?
Oh also is the basic dragon food ok for them to eat? Like the one you get in the containers from pet stores?
Thanks!
