    Semi-brumation? 11month not eating much since Dec.

    She's my first bearded dragon, and we got her in June. We tried to keep her out of "real" brumation since she's so young still, so we kept the tank nice and toasty with an hour of extra light this past winter... I wasn't expecting her to go into like a "semi-brumation"/slow down phase with the...

    Semi-brumation? 11month not eating much since Dec.

    Hi Sadie! I have a stick/probe one (shown stuck to the glass by the hammock) that I use periodically to check temps every week, as well as an ambient home thermometer (the kind you put on your wall that shows temp and humidity) that I forgot to put back in her tank after wiping it down earlier...

    Semi-brumation? 11month not eating much since Dec.

    Looking for some ADVICE, please! This is my baby Bagels. Since Dec 2021, she hasn't really been eating much! Not interested in her Dubia roaches (staple bug), meal worms (treats), OR her greens (collard + mustard), which she used to enjoy! The ONLY thing she seems to go after now are hornworms...

    Escape-proof bowl & timer recommendations

    My wifi is inconsistent, so I was specifically looking for something not connected to the Internet. We ended up getting *this* one (see pic)! My partner set it up, as I am out of town now, and he said it works great!

    Escape-proof bowl & timer recommendations

    I've seen a few pics of folks with that kind of bowl. Was definitely considering it as an option. He does have a long branch with gradients of heat available, plus two hides (one on cool side and one on hot). But most of the time he's chilling at the top of his hammock, watching people through...

    Escape-proof bowl & timer recommendations

    (1) Looking for recommendations for an escape-proof bowl for roachies that my sexy-legged tiny dragon can't flip over when doing gymnastics during feeding times...? Bonus points if it's low enough to the ground or clear so that he can see into it. Ideally, I'd love for it to be "natural looking"...

    Sleeping/not moving: juvenile (4-5 months), new beardie mom

    Update on Bagels: Doing much better! He's more active, especially between the hours of 5-6 PM (I usually feed him dinner at that time, as well). He basks a LOT of the day, but he's completely, 100% alert and curious about the sounds he hears outside. He still keeps his eyes closed about 65% of...

    Advice for feeding schedule

    Thank you for posting! I also have a 5 month old beardie I just got last week and have been playing with a feed schedule to see what works best. Your chart was helpful for me to see that I'm doing ok.

    Sleeping/not moving: juvenile (4-5 months), new beardie mom

    He really does seem more alert, healthier colored, and all around feeling better (not active yet, but definitely more aware and reactive to his surroundings). Thank you (Sadie) and Skybug as well for giving me advice and helping heal my baby dragon! I'm am eternally grateful for y'all! I'll...

    Sleeping/not moving: juvenile (4-5 months), new beardie mom

    Yes, I got rid of the MVB and bought him this bulb instead. His color is soooo much better, too, which I guess was a UVB thing. He looks a little dark in this pic, but he's significantly more orange than he has been in the past 3 days. He's bright orange when he hunts and remained orange all...

    Sleeping/not moving: juvenile (4-5 months), new beardie mom

    Of course, he decided to become more alert as soon as I was stepping out my door... He jumped off the hammock, and I took the opportunity to hand feed him collard greens and release some roaches. He hunted down about 13 of them and made me late (it was so worth it). Fast forward to several...

    Sleeping/not moving: juvenile (4-5 months), new beardie mom

    Thank you SO SO SO much for all your advice! I moved Bagels' new hammock higher up, so he's about 7 inches from the UVB. Temps are still holding fine. I did go ahead and order the Reptisun 10.0 T5 HO bulb that I will use to replace the one I have when it comes in. He's basking in his hammock...

    Sleeping/not moving: juvenile (4-5 months), new beardie mom

    At the suggestion of some other people, I'm going to order him the Arcadia Desert Species 12% UVB T5 bulb to give him the best possible set up.

    This is the UVB bulb I have. Looks like a Respitsun 5.0, which I'm guessing is a T5. Fixture is definitely longer than 24 inches.

    Sleeping/not moving: juvenile (4-5 months), new beardie mom

    Ok, I got him a new basking light and set up his tank differently. Can hide under dino bones (left side) and plastic rock bridge (right side behind water rock bowl). UVB tube is 9.5 inches from hammock and 13 inches from branch. Temps are fine with the new light. Lights adjusted so he can be...
