    Something in my beardie's nose?

    Had Murray out today, and it looked like a bit of flaky skin on his nostril...his tail is molting right now, but not around his head. I gently touched the edge of the flake, and it moved -- so I did it again and it pulled out of his nostril. So the end was a flake/dry skin and what had been...

    Keeping crickets alive?

    Thank you everyone - this is super helpful. Our second batch of larger crickets has been doing great -- we haven't lost any, other than to Murray's belly. :) I've been adding the leftover greens to their container, and misting it lightly every other day. I also cleaned the container after...

    Keeping crickets alive?

    Thanks everyone -- yes Patsy, I would say these were about 3/4" in size. I don't know if you can get a bad "batch" from a pet store or not, but I was definitely surprised when they lasted less than 48 hours. I will try adding greens into the mix of their food also. And DrZebra -- yes, I do use...

    Beardy barely eating :(

    How long have you had them? I think I saw another post of yours saying they were being housed together right now -- I am wondering if anyone who has more than one beardie might know if that can impact eating? Also, he might need more time to adjust to his new home than his sister did! If he is...

    He's growing up...

    I can't believe how much my little Murray man has grown since we brought him home! We have had him for 10 weeks -- and he was a teeny tiny hatchling when we got him.The first pic is from about a month ago...and he had already grown quite a bit in the month we had him. The last two are from...

    Keeping crickets alive?

    We just switched Murray from the small crickets to the large -- and started with only 50 because we wanted to see how he would do. In less than 2 days about half of the crickets died...I have no idea why. We had them in the same container we stored the small/pinhead crickets in, with egg cartons...

    My First Beardy!

    Welcome! They are adorable -- and yes, unfortunately is much better to have them separated.I know it is a bummer -- but you sound like you definitely love them already and will be a great owner!

    Beardie favortism

    Augie - interesting that you said that about the Phoenix Worms. I would love to hear your reasons -- I decided to try them because I had heard/read that they were a good staple, don't smell, won't bite your Beardie, etc. -- and think Murray is still too little for superworms, but maybe I need to...

    What is your Ritual of Feeding (your beardie)?

    Well, don't let yourself get too frustrated. :) A baby beardie is harder to care for than an adult, and there is always an adjustment period when they are in their new home. One thing I did was hold Murray at night, right before his typical bedtime. He would fall asleep on my hand...I think it...

    What is your Ritual of Feeding (your beardie)?

    I have had my beardie for almost 2 months exactly today. :) We got him as a baby, and I also felt like he got overwhelmed at first with trying to catch the crickets. I use repti carpet -- I would definitely recommend it over sand. When he was younger, what I typically would do was feed him 3...

    Aww! That is just way too cute. I just love how they all have individual personalities -- something I would never have really known if I didn't have my little guy!

    Beardie favortism

    I'll have to try mustard greens. I'm anxious to try dandelion leaves this summer...and super worms when he gets a bit older!

    Beardie favortism

    Does your Beardie have a favorite food? Murray's diet is a combination of crickets (most readily available/able to get locally), Dubias, Phoenix Worms, salad (collard greens alone or mixed with w/ red pepper, kale, carrots, green beans depending on day) and treats of apples, strawberries and/or...
