    Growth

    So my bearded dragon, female, very roughly estimated to be 10 months old, hasn’t grown an inch in a few months, and only grew about 2 inches since December.

    Tiny bugs found in dubia roach shipment

    I found these tiny crawling bugs in my recent shipment of dubia roaches. I haven’t seen them before and I didn’t notice them until after I fed my beardie. Does anyone know what these are and if they’re harmful to bearded dragons?

    Hi here’s my beardie. I think it may be a male but not sure it’s my first one. How do I get it to eat its greens? I offer and it’s not interested and I leave it in there until lights out. The temp is around 105-110. It takes the roaches and crickets just fine. Any advice? Other helpful tips for...

    Weekends- Leave him alone, or transport him home?
