    Suddenly Aggressive Dragon

    I have had my boy over 3 years now and he definitely goes through moody / grumpy phases - has never actually attacked me but will randomly decide to be a jerk for a few weeks, with the hissing and the beard flaring. He is normally a TOTAL SWEETHEART so I was pretty freaked out the first time he...

    New to Beardies

    Normal basking behavior is very lazy, yes, but if he is frequently ignoring his food then something else is the problem - incorrect lighting and temp being the main culprits. Also size of tank, health issues, etc.

    Beardie will not eat Dubia roaches

    Usually if its moving they go for it... make sure the dubia are appropriate size. You could try feeding him with tongs or just putting one in the tank and letting it run around. At 5 months he needs more proteins than veggies, so if he refuses to eat dubia you may have to go back to crickets...

    hi new beardie here. still

    Unfortunately that seems the case for most new owners, including myself once upon a time. But great job on fixing him up! I wish more people were as conscientious! I also agree not to worry about overfeeding the wee ones. They can consume a shocking amount. For a while when mine was a juvenile...

    Dubia roaches breed or buy?

    ^^^agreed. For a baby beardie or multiple animals a colony is great, but probably not worth it for one or two adult dragons. I started mine when my beardie was a baby and eating upwards of 30 roaches a day... now I have an excess of roaches, but I feed them to my other reptiles so fine. The...

    Poop Smearing...PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Mine is a poop artist. Has been for the entire 3 years of his life... I just hope I catch him in time to clean it up before he creates his masterpiece. I don't always.

    Found bearded dragon

    Poor baby! If you decide to keep her she will need a bigger tank, but for now focus on hydrating her and feeding her like Patsy said. Also make sure you have a UVB light and your temps are correct - basking area low 90s and 80-85 F on the cool end. Aside from food light and temperature are the...

    Hello!

    Right on. Like I said, I don't know anything about desert torts! I also don't feed mine pellet food very often, so the multivitamins are good. This is the best and most comprehensive list of beardie food I have found: http://www.thebeardeddragon.org/bearded-dragon-nutrition-data.php#veg

    Hello!

    It looks similar... I get mine from home depo https://www.homedepot.com/p/Con-Tact-Grip-Prints-Sand-Granite-Shelf-Drawer-Liner-08F-C8A39-04/100672966 As far as supplements, there doesn't seem to be an absolutely correct answer. My adult beardie has a really healthy, varied diet and I give him...

    Hello!

    ^^oh, good catch! For sure. Also on the subject of lighting - my reptile vet said even a few minutes of natural sunlight a few times a week can work wonders for their health. I try and take mine out in the sun at least on the weekends. Also, do you have supplements? You will need a vitamin...

    Hello!

    Exciting! Beardies are great pets! I have torts too - 2 redfoots, and looking forward to a leopard soon. I use nonadhesive shelf liner and cut it down to size- easy to clean but if it gets super gross cheap to replace. One $10 roll makes 3 tank carpets. Actual reptile carpet is too difficult to...

    Cricket water gel worms

    Can you take a picture? I'd say probably fruit fly larvae- harmless but gross. Crickets are pretty sensitive in that they die easily so I would clean it out either way

    New dragon mom

    Aw! What a cutie. Well the good thing is even though he is eating very little, dubia are the best insect he could be eating, nutrition wise. You gut load them, correct? Don't worry about him not liking greens and fruit much, when they are young they won't want or need as much. Your set up looks...

    New Beardie Mom

    Is that pool in his tank? That is not wise... it raises the humidity and you need to watch how long they soak in water. Not trying to be rude - just looking out for your little guy, he is a cutie! Mealworms are not great for them either, superworms are much easier to digest and would make...
