    Just making sure he still looks healthy!

    They often flatten out to gather more sun, or just mad lol. Mine will puff up when I go to grab him (he hates me and everyone else, it's just who he is). He is not fat, give it a few and he should deflate. My vet said at the base of the tail there should be a dimple on each side, and that means...

    Just making sure he still looks healthy!

    Mine didn't like crickets either, but enjoys the dubia roaches. Dubiaroaches.com has great pricing if you live in the US and over 6 yrs I have only had 2 issues. Mine also loves the canned silk worm pupea when the fresh bugs are all gone. He will literally crawl out of the tank to get them when...

    Question about greens

    Also, i have heard that you can grind up some bugs and dip the greens in it to entice the dragon to eat. I haven't had to try it, so I don't know if it really works. My dragon is one of the few who loves his veg.

    HELP! (poor appetite, eye problem)

    To help with the greens in the future, you can add some bee pollen to 'sweeten' the taste, and/or dip the greens in a mixture of ground up mealworm and a touch of water. Then she will be more likely to eat them if they smell and taste more like the bugs she likes. I hope that helps and that she...

    I don't know if this is worrisome

    One way to encourage your dragon to eat more veg, would be to grind up some bugs and dip the veg into the ground up mixture. This means the veg has the bug taste, but then the dragon can have some veg. I personally love having roaches over crickets; roaches can't climb, fly, or bite. Crickets...

    Advice on lighting and help with food

    Do you know if discoid roaches are legal in Florida? Dubiaroach.com now sales those as they are allowed in more states. They also have all the other live bugs that your dragon will love. I also saw where you can blend up some bugs and dip greens in the mixture to entice dragons to eat their...

    Broken glass side wall

    I had hoped that would work, but I wasn't sure if it was sufficient enough. Thanks!

    Broken glass side wall

    While cleaning the tank today, the door decided to slam closed and break. There were some tiny glass shards inside the tank on the carpet, which was immediately removed. I also cleaned it all down to ensure no other shards remained. The glass feels fairly smooth still, but I was worried that he...

    Giving medication

    I run the medication syringe over my dragons lips until he opens. It was harder the first couple time, but I think he's better now because the medication helps him, and he know it. The first couple times I had to hold him with one hand on my lap, and use my finger to gently get him to open his...

    Shedding advice

    You don't want to give too many baths. When my dragon was young, the vet recomended every other day while he is actively shedding (no more than a week). That was recommended becuase my dragons skin cut off the blood flow to the tip of his tail. Now that he is older, I use on de-shedding mist I...

    New guy not eating alot

    Some dragons never eat as much as they should. My guy just refused to eat as much aseveryoe else claimed they should. Even to this day (3 years later), he is not a big eater. He is a healthy weight and overall heathy, so don't stress too much. Mine also prefers salad over bugs. Definitely a plus...

    Toenail issue?

    Yes, we do have a grass hammock that he has not had issues with in the 4 years we have had him. We tried the mesh ones and he refused to use them. I also use tank carpet, a few slate rocks, and a few resin and plastic items.

    Toenail issue?

    My boy, Collins, has a weird long toenail on his left front foot, thumb area. It doesn't seem to bother him at all, but it doesn't look right. Does anyone know what could cause this to happen? He is about 4 years old. It has been here for a few days, and doesn't seem better, or worse. Thanks!

    First Baby Beardie

    Dubiaroaches.com is also a great site I use to order my insects. Iae heard you can grind up some insects and use that to flavor-coat greens to make them a little more appealing. I never tried it since my boy loves his greens. Good luck, and Luna is gorgeous!

    My Beardie hates me

    Never feel too bad about your dragon hating you. Mine can't seem to stand me, and he has been that since I got him at 6 months old (he is 3 now) lol. They definitely have their own personalities. Just keep working with them, and eventually they will get a little better. They may never be the...
