It is too small to be used for much beyond transport, quarantine or temporary housing (i.e. during cleaning of main enclosure). The plastic construction does not allow for light or heat sources which most reptiles or exotic pets require.

You can offer feeder fish, crickets, mealworms and waxworms. Gut load insect prey to maximize nutritional value. This can be done by feeding them a high protein baby cereal, tropical fish flakes, fresh fruits and vegetables for 24 hours prior to offering them to Lucy.

Confirm proper environmental parameters, especially temperature. Low temps can affect appetite in reptiles and amphibians. Be sure you are offering appropriately sized prey as well. Nothing bigger than the space between the eyes. I would suggest you correct the type of pet you have in the information section. I don't think you have a tadpole if he hangs out with you on the desk. Knowing the species allows us to provide more accurate advice.

As he matures, he will eat less protein (prey) and more greens. You should limit the wax worms though due to their high fat content. If he is regularly eating greens, continue to offer a healthy salad as well as a commercial beardie diet. Prey can be fed every other day. Make sure prey is appropriately sized. If they are too big, he won't eat. Be sure to gut load them to maximize nutritional value and dust with a calcium supplement and multivitamin several times weekly. Drop temperature across the tank to about 76 F on the cool side and 86 F on the warm side. The basking spot can be set around 90 - 100 F.

Rocks can cause tiny scrapes on the shell which can introduce infection. Use a thermometer in the basking spot to make sure temps don't get too high. A thermometer on the other end would be recommended to make sure temps aren't too low. Offer a commercial pelleted diet along with fresh greens and vegetables.
