One of the things to be aware of as a bearded dragon owner is the natural behaviour of a bearded dragon. There are times when a bearded dragon may not eat, sleep or just be plain attentive and look as if he or she is stressed.
Imagine if you are getting your first bearded dragon and in the morning they eat a lot then in the afternoon they eat a lot and finally in the evening they don't eat anything. Considering that some bearded dragons depending on the species eat crickets or veggies.
Some bearded dragons even eat mice. Ohhhh My!
This is absolutely normal for a first time bearded dragon owner. Bearded dragons are just like humans however you need to be aware that you may have to control their eating habits.
Tip: Try not to over feed them and have portion control. This will lead to a happy and healthy bearded dragon. Don't and I repeat don't deprive them of their food. Just like any animal they require food to survive.
There are times when a bearded dragon may not eat. So you may need to back off and not force them food. Take it slow the first couple of days.
If worse comes to worse take them to a vet if they haven't eaten for a week or so.
(This is just opinion. Recommend going to your vet)
Here are just some pieces of information to be aware of.
Take Care
