    Advise needed on OBESE 3 year old dragon

    Feeding her crickets sold as bait isn't very safe. They often have antibiotics added to them to keep the crickets alive longer, and they may also be treated with chemicals that make them more appealing to fish. If you can't purchase insects online, stores that specialize in reptiles typically...

    Advise needed on OBESE 3 year old dragon

    Increase the amount of vegetable matter she gets. Stick to healthier foods - avoid fruits, carrots, and other sugary food. Feed fresh food, and offer her smaller, infrequent portions. Feed small portions of low-fat insects. Avoid fatty protein foods such as pinky mice and waxworms. If you can...

    Safe Climate?

    Before you travel with your dragon, make sure her stomach is empty. Avoid feeding her the day before the trip. If she gets too cold to digest food, she won't be at risk for impaction. To avoid damaging the enclosure and/or your dragon, keep her in some kind of travel enclosure while you're on...

    Beardies Diet isn’t like What I Researched

    As Sadie said, it could be a lighting issue. He may also be going through relocation stress. It's normal for a beardie to have no/reduced appetite for the first few days in a new home. As long as there are no husbandry/environmental issues he'll have a hearty appetite soon.

    WHAT NOT TO DO!!!

    Yikes... unfortunately, something tells me that poor beardie isn't going to be around much longer. North is way too young for a reptile, and it's clear they didn't bother to do research.

    Help! My dragon keeps flipping over!

    Have you noticed your beardie suffering from diarrhea, breathing difficulties, or "stargazing"? Flipping over, along with these other symptoms, can be a sign of ADV. If you have other reptiles, separate your beardie from them as soon as possible. Calcium deficiency could also be the reason he is...

    I need help

    This is a place to learn about beardies. You can't learn if you aren't willing to accept any kind of criticism or acknowledge that your bearded dragon's setup might need to be improved. As Skybug said, beardies and chameleons are almost polar opposites. Chams need high-humidity environments...

    Zontar passed away

    I'm so sorry for your loss, it sounds like he was a great beardie and he definitely knew he was loved and well cared for.

    Things to make frank life more interesting

    More branches/rocks to climb on, a beardie ball, a dig box, cat toys, or a tunnel can encourage Frank to explore and exercise.

    Is this good cricket food?

    The cricket food isn't a good source of nutrients for your bearded dragon. There isn't really anything in it other than calcium that is healthy for beardies. Feed the crickets what you would feed your bearded dragon-vegetables, fruits, and greens.

    What are your thoughts?

    I recommend you switch out the dual light fixture for a tube-type UVB light (Repitsun 10.0 or an Arcadia 12-14%), they give off more UVB and are safer to use. Compact bulbs can lead to MBD and eye issues. As long as she hasn't been eating, not pooping during brumation isn't an issue. You can...

    Worried. (sluggish)

    The shallow/rapid breathing is concerning... what are the basking temps? Did they drop too low at any point?
