Update: I did some research and decided I'll try switching her to just salads made mostly of Romain with some broccoli, because it turns out Beardies actually can and do get goiters if fed too much fruit and I might have left out using apple and mango as treats. Romain and Broccoli are...
A goiter is a swollen thyroid gland from not getting enough iodine, humans used to get them all the time until they made iodized table salt. The majority of people I've spoken with here and other reptile forums claim feedings should at most be every other day, I have salads for her every day but...
I have a 2 year old that's coming out of her first brumation, basking temp is 98 F, I just replaced her UV 17 inch tube last week. Diet is whatever salad mix I can find without spinach or iceberg, once a week she gets 20 medium crickets. All meals get some amount of a multivitamin powder with...
I got a 50 gallon tank for mine. I have used both sandpaper and ground walnut shells as substrate and never had issues with impaction but then mine is also one of those oddball beardies that doesn't like to soak and will actually drink from the water bowl (replaced daily).
She's in the bigger tank, no black light, her food gets dusted with Reptocal all reptile vitamin powder that has Vitamin A and D3 as top 2 ingredients, she still has access to the calcium gut loaded freeze dried crickets (not her only food source), grapes, carrots, and broccoli are left with the...
She seems much happier now, at least as happy as reptiles get. She started eating more but likes to take the fruit and freeze dried treats out of the bowl and stash them in the cool den. I tried feeding her some live crickets and meal worms but she ran away from the crickets and never tried more...
I got a 3rd lamp with a UVB bulb instead of swapping the day heat bulb. I am using a night bulb that is a black light, the really deep purple you see at parties or on cop shows. I've also added a sticky heater (it's marketed as an under enclosure heater but said it can mount to sides) to the...
Her name is Bess.
I have a 75 gallon tank I can move her to, I'm a bit wary of live feeder insects at the moment over paranoia of escapees but I'll see about getting some, any recommendations for little dragons? She's about 3 inches long if you don't count the tail. I'll be swapping the day...
I got a Bearded dragon more out of rumors of their low maintenance, I think I have a female as i got her from a local pet shop that couldn't confirm, and she only had 1 bump at the base of her tail. She is very much a juvenile and does not like to be touched. am i correct in attempting to...
