I have a bearded dragon n its been sick twice n it looks like the skin off the crickets.do you know why?
Ok, first how old is it? It may not like crickets. If u r using big crickets get small 1s because then it will be harder for the bd to get the skin off the cricket and he mite just eat the cricket. if i were you i would do that get smaller 1s and see what happens.
Reply:Try feeding it softer-bodied insects.
Reply:Phoenix worms! My little girl loves them. She wont even LOOK at a cricket anymore.





Google them and you'll get places. They are super nutritious and very soft bodied.





I'm not sure what you mean by skin of crickets. You have to give us more info like the age and anything else that goes along with the basic status.
Reply:Bearded dragons are pretty hardy animals so if yours is sick then i would say something isn't right. I would guess that it may have a parasite problem which is causing it to be sick(cant think of the name of it) but I'm not a vet so to be on the safe side get it to a real vet as soon as you can and you will need to take a fresh stool sample with you too. I would say your dragon isn't feeling too good and unfortunately they cant talk and tell you whats wrong, they rely on us to do the right thing by them and look after them so get him/her to a good vet soon. He/she will no doubt thank you for it!!
Reply:1st you could try not feeding it for a day of so and then try feeding again of 2nd you could feed it smaller crickets.
