    Radish greens

    Hi all, This week I got radishes of all colors from our CSA. Are the greens (radish leaves) safe for bearded dragons? Thanks! Deb A.

    Question about fennel tops

    Thanks! BTW, I don't have any fennel seeds. I just got fennel bulbs with feathery greens as part of a CSA delivery. I live in Arizona and I bought a "share" of the produce of a local farm. And thanks to multiple growning seasons, I can get farm-fresh produce weekly all year round. Although by...

    Question about fennel tops

    Hi all, Today started my first delivery from a local CSA. So, I now have all sorts of new greens and veggies for both my family and my dragon. I did a search on this site and looked through the "Bearded Dragon Nutrition Content" site and found that the turnip greens, carrot tops and swiss chard...

    Bearded Dragon "kibble"

    Hi all, I recently noticed a product at the petstore that claims to be a "complete" diet for a bearded dragon---a "kibble" type food. I also noticed it in the bearded dragon tank at the petstore. Does anyone have any experience with this stuff? I am skeptical of such stuff, but, then, I feed...

    Is it possible to overeat?

    Thanks everyone! I usually feed him crickets or phoenix worms twice a day, morning and evening, with a salad mid-day. I was worried about overfeeding protein, because I wasn't sure at what point I should decrease protein and increase the salad. How do I know when to switch to the adult diet? I...

    Behavior Questions

    Thanks! I don't know if he is male or female. We just call him a male. I have been nervous about taking him out for rides and such, because I was worried he'd try to jump off our bodies, or just be too scared to enjoy himself. Today, though, I have taken him out and about a couple of times. He...

    Behavior Questions

    Hi all, I have a couple of quick questions about behavior. We have had our dragon for a couple of months now and he is eating and growing like crazy. First, what is the intelligence of this creature? What I mean, is that I am trying to figure out when sort of enrichment do I need to provide for...

    Is it possible to overeat?

    Hi all, Thanks so much for all the help I found here a couple of months ago when we first got our bearded dragon. He is doing quite well, eating non-stop and growing fast! But I do have a couple of concerns. First, I want to make sure that I am not overfeeding him. He has shed twice since I got...

    When to get concerned

    Thanks again for the advice. I think he definitely needed to acclimate more. This past week as been easier and less stressful. He is eating quite a bit of crickets and phoenix worms each day (maybe 20-30 of medium-sized crickets and worms), plus about 1/2 tablespoon of salad. Today I learned he...

    When to get concerned

    I know you've answered these before.................. UVB? Temps? Age of Dragon? I still have the Repti-Glo 10.0, which I understand isn't too good. I haven't been back to the petstore to buy the REpti-Sun 10.0 (Or did I get those backwards?). The only temp gauge I have is an analog thermometer...

    When to get concerned

    Hi all, Is is normal for bearded dragons to eat sporadically? The one I have is probably a few months old and I posted already once about him. But, yesterday he was prowling the tank a lot, so I kept dropping more crickets in (and he'd eat 1 or 2 before freezing in place). Of course, I found a...

    New to bearded dragon diet---need help!

    Thanks all for the advice! I didn't realize that the bath should be so long. We've only soaked him a few minutes or so. He doesn't seem too excited about the water and tries to scramble out the side of the "pool". I used slightly warmer water last night, and he didn't seem so cold afterwards...

    New to this site and to bearded dragons

    Hi all, Just a quick introduction post. I just bought a smallish (about 8 inches long) bearded dragon yesterday. He is nominally considered a birthday present for my 7 year old daughter (but he is really my pet, but don't tell her that ;)). He joins the rest of the Adams' Family Zoo that...

    New to owning a bearded dragon and not sure how to set-up tank

    Thanks for the replies! I bought the reptiGlo 10.0 from Exo Terra. Annoyingly, our 2 gerbils chewed through the bottom on the rubbermaid tote they've been living in for 6 months on the very same day I needed to re-do the bearded dragon set-up. It has been a crazy day. The bearded dragon...

    New to bearded dragon diet---need help!

    Thanks so much for the advice. I think he/she (or Lord Daisy as the kids call him) is about 8 inches long. I forgot to ask the petshop how old they were. I have been feeding him in his tank and sometimes he eats all the crickets (2-5 small ones) and sometimes he ignores them. And this...
