    Paper Towels, newspaper, reptisand...

    I think I'll just stick with newspaper. It lays flatter than paper towels. Nail trimming isn't an issue for me since I was a groomer for almost 10 years. Dragon nails are easy. Thanks for everyone's help. Sent from my SM-J700P using Tapatalk

    very unsure + inexperienced owner

    I think you may be able to get over your fear. People who truly can't stand animals do not care about their welfare. When was the last time someone afraid of spiders cared if a spider was injured, suffering, or dying. You obviously have some kind of attachment to Professor if his welfare is...

    Worms From the Yard

    Just another quick comment, I work in an elementary school and two of the boys today were talking about eating worms. I shared my new knowledge and scared them into giving up the habit. Its weird how life works out sometimes. Sent from my SM-J700P using Tapatalk

    Worms From the Yard

    I'd love to help but I've never tried growing dandelions. I live near a university and I know the corners they don't care about where dandelions get huge. They also have Cherry Plum trees they neglect so it's a lot of free fruit for the humans. As a bonus, they shut down their golf course...

    Worms From the Yard

    So I'm not only a forager but I have a degree in Archaeology/Biological Anthropology and have worked with grange biologists and cultural anthropologists. For the Pacific Northwest region, I'm well educated on a lot of native plants. I love Oxalis. Its a native plant that looks a bit like...

    Worms From the Yard

    I still have a smorgasbord, its just plants. I'm a forager so I know the difference between weeds and "weeds". If I eat them out of my yard I'm confident enough to feed them to my animals. Unfortunately the animals that Bearded Dragons eat are more expensive than the plants they eat. Oh well...

    Worms From the Yard

    You guys are so good at dashing my hopes. I checked on parasites that worms can have and you all win. Kinda gross. Thanks for your help. Sent from my SM-J700P using Tapatalk

    Worms From the Yard

    Now that spring is in full swing, I have some questions. While cleaning up the patio and yard, I have found a lot of worms. I've fed a few to the beardie and she really likes them. We've had chickens for over 10 years and large aquarium fish even longer. Obviously we don't add any chemicals to...

    Paper Towels, newspaper, reptisand...

    I've had the carpet type years ago when I had a snake. It does seem like the best alternative. I just remember them not being as easy to clean as they claim. I'll probably get 2 so I can switch them out. Thanks for all the info everyone. Sent from my SM-J700P using Tapatalk

    Paper Towels, newspaper, reptisand...

    I started out using paper towels for Rosie. Then I tried newspaper because she just shredded paper towels and crickets had a million hiding places. The newspaper had the same problem. The kit I bought came with reptisand I never used so I put it in today so the crickets couldn't hide. I found 5...

    Hello All

    We're lucky here to have Miners Lettuce. Salads grow in the yard. It kept the California Gold Rush miners alive in tough times. I just think of it as free food. I'm a forager and it's easy in Western Washington. Sent from my SM-J700P using Tapatalk

    Hello All

    I ordered the T5 hood and bulb. It'll be here Wednesday. I had to wait until payday because getting a new pet isn't cheap and the dragon and equipment didn't leave a lot in the bank account. The tank is 36x18. I have kept fish for 25 years and believe in buying the biggest tank you can afford...

    Hello All

    I got this kit from Petsmart. It comes with a double hood. I heard the light that came with it runs out of UVB light before the bulb actually stops giving off light. I'm already looking to switch that out. It's a ReptiSun 10.0 Compact UVB Fluorescent Bulb, and Repti Basking Spot Lamp. If you...

    Hello All

    We just got our first Bearded Dragon this weekend for my 5 year olds first pet. We researched a lot. As kids we always had pet rats. A combination of my development of allergies to anything with fur except dogs and the dogs desire to kill rodents made that impossible. A co worker adopted a...
