    Buddy and set up

    Hi all. Just wanted to thank you for your help this last week. Buddy really doesn't seem too great :( I finally got to the bottom of what I think was wrong - his viv was WAY too hot. Anyway, I now have an excellent thermostat that switches to night temperatures via a timer - fantastic thing -...

Have to say tho.. these dragons are infectious!! I have a 3 month daughter and every morning I pray she...

    Behaviour and eating

    God, you have the patience of a saint replying to me lol x The heat bulb is in the right corner. The actual viv is a beech surround with glass front and two holes each end on the back wall with a plastic vent bit over them (there are quite a few sold on ebay I noticed). I have the 3ft one. Im...

    Behaviour and eating

    Thank you all for bearing with me! Right - I have an 30 inch flouresant (sp?!) UV tube 25 watt at the top back central running from almost one end to the other (I am aware a new tank will be needed eventually). At one end I have a 60 watt round reptile bulb hanging from the top that is his...

    Feeding

    Hi all. I have just been reading about feeding on here and have read about a jar feeding method?? How is this done and what size is the jar and do the BD go into another enclosure to do so. Poor Buddy doesn't seem interested in food at all at the mo although hopefull this is cos he has only been...

    Behaviour and eating

    Thank you all. The heat mat is coming out, sand is being replaced by paper towels for now and hubby will get left over critters out tonight (can do worms etc but not hoppers lol!!). I bought a digital with probe yesterday and that is going in today. He tends to dig and then lay flat. Cant see...

We have only had him for just under a week so really not long. I have bought a digital thermometer as I couldn't find a prob one at the place i went (along...

    Behaviour and eating

    Hi. Thanks for bearing with me and sorry to have repeated myself. Bulb is a 60watt and not sure about a compact light???? It fits the viv on the top of the back wall from one end to the other. It was bought from the shop that deals only with reptiles etc that has been around for years. The...

    Behaviour and eating

    Hi all (again!!) Right..... Why do they lay flat, dig in the sand (am changing to paper towels at the weekend) and then close their eyes?? Seems a stupid question but is this him going to 'bed'???! Also, how often should they poop?? Buddy hasn't pooped today. Gave him a bath tho which he seemed...

    Hi again!

    Hi again all - I only posted to introduce myself this morning! I really am thinking I have some work ahead of me. After reading I don't think Buddy is eating anywhere near enough. Yesterday he only had approx 20 mealworms and hasn't eaten the locust I put in the enclosure :( He also won't eat...
