    New Baby not eating much

    I got a beardie as a hatchling and he had similar issues. Wouldn’t eat much, wouldn’t grow, but everything else seemed normal. Was pooping, drinking water, shedding, strong bones, all the signs you want, but just wouldn’t eat or grow. My setup was great, even took the whole thing in to the vet...

    Beardie never grew and then died

    I got a beardie from the pet store as a hatchling. I neurotically combed the internet, hung out waaaay to long at the local exotic shop, and even got some great advice here. Long story short, I spent around $400 on a front open enclosure, another $250 or so on lighting, I got cricket, meal...

    Beardie running around tank

    One of the reasons I’ve kept him home until now. I trust the students, my kids have actually gone to bat for me and I keep my doors locked. But the temperature thing does make me wary. I’ve come in on days it’s 70 and others it’s 85. Unfortunately, I work at a title I school and everything is...

    Oh yeah, basking, playing with toys, hunting critters. I’m taking him back to school next week. The mesh there is a bit finer, so I’ll put the uvb inside the tank there. It came with excellent clasps to hold it in place. Really wonderful recommendations!

    Beardie running around tank

    He’s like a new dragon!! Got the uvb, and his attitude seemed so much better. He even crawled up and cuddled on my chest after a bath. I can’t thank you enough for your help!! He’s letting me hand feed and even eating greens. And he started shedding again and eating and pooping even more! You...

    New Baby! How to get them used to you!

    Also, no food larger than between their eyes. Small dubias and 1/2 inch crickets are what Archie eats right now

    New Baby! How to get them used to you!

    When they're babies, they need far more protein than fruits/veggies. Their diet will invert as they get older. How old is she? I have a 4 month and he eats about 20-30 crickets or 5-8 dubias a day. He's not very interested in greens yet, so I hand feed them when I can, teasing him so he goes...

    Thank you for all your info!! I'm still waiting on the light, I went with the Sunblaster Nano Tech you suggested. When I pulled up the ZooMed one, it was only 14", and the tank needs a solid 2 ft at least, based on your recommendation. Just to be sure, this is the fixture AND the bulb, correct...

    Beardie running around tank

    Thank you for being so thorough!! His beard is down and light when he’s running around. Sometimes he’ll start off with it darker when I put my hand near, but then it lightens. When I first got him, he’d bite, so tolerating me is a huge improvement! He has an 18 inch T8 10.0 uvb tube. It’s not...

    Beardie running around tank

    Hi! I’m a first time beardie owner. I have a juvenile (about 4 months) who I’ve been really struggling to bond with. He’s been eating, sleeping, and pooping normally. I just moved him into a larger enclosure, and I’m just having a hard time interpreting his behavior. He’s been running, climbing...
