baby beardie feeding issue..
I've had Molly for a 5 days now.
She's not eating as much as I would like her to.
Babies are supposed to eat a hole in my pocket in crickets. And when I fed her this morning, she ate two.
I put her in a feeding tank and left her there with 4 crickets and she's just letting them run around and not caring.
Could there be something wrong? Or is she still adjusting. Maia spoiled me.. she ate right away.. bugs and veggies!

She is probably still adjusting, but, what are her temps in the tank?

i just feel bad. It's bad enough this little girl was off to a bad start. I was kinda assuming she's bounce back right away... I guess it's not that easy.

You could try putting some brightly colored baby food on her veggies...when Zola is in a slump I give him sweet potato baby food on his grens and it gets him eating again...beware it is a really big mess though!
