Gadzooks

URRGH!!! Gadzooks is annoying for some reason.......but he's not eating anything.....like he ate one cricket today by himself which i was impressed with but other than that i've been having to force feed him which he spits the cricket out after and it's harder with crix cause with vegies well....they don't explode when you're trying to put the them in his mouth! And i think it probably has something to do with the weather and that.......also that he needs a UVB heat lamp instead of a UVB light
But i warm up nice 'n' warm bricks for him.
Anyone else have this problem? anyone had this problem? and anyone know how to fix it?

If he does not have a proper basking light set up that keeps the basking surface temp up around 110º-120º that is most likely the issue. They need to heat to stimulate them and help digest their food.

Nope, heat rocks really should not be used for any reptiles. They are known to malfunction and burn reptiles. Heat from above using a basking light and a UVB light is the only way to go with beardies. Plus beardies need a nice bright enclosure for mental health.
