thanks 4 ur advice will try that will let you no how i get on

Are you using the correct dosage of Nutrobal? You can overdose. And it should be correctly used with calcium powder too.

Food items should generally be smaller than the gap inbetween it's eyes.

Try crickets again, sometimes they can attract lizards attention better as they tend to run around, whereas locusts/hoppers tend to sit around and stay quite still.

i think so i put a teaspoon in a bag and put the locust in and shake them up good then throw them in!! i have another query my dragon dosent like being handeled and always seems to be in a mood also he has not shedded skin for a few weeks now y is this please thanks

hey muzza, you need to be dusting with a calcium powder aswell , nutrabol is a mulitvitamin powder so should only be given once a week for young beardies, you should dust with calcium powder such as calypso 5 days a week for young beardies. IF you have only been giving your beardie nutrabol he could have early stages of MBD which would mean being handled would be painful hence the bad mood, get some calcium powder asap you can get it off ebay. Also give us a more detailed description of your setup plz.
