    Pre-brumation fattening?

    If he wakes a little…comes out of his hide, I check his weight and offer him yummies. Usually he wants nothing to do with anything and goes back to sleep after less than a day. Last brumation, he woke only once about 3-4 weeks in and for the remainder of his brumation I was lucky if he faced his...

    Pre-brumation fattening?

    Hi there! Just wondering if anyone else’s beardie becomes an eating machine and packs on weight at this time of year and/or before their brumation. Last year my Spike gained huge amounts of weight. I didn’t notice any changes in his appetite and thought the weight gain was my fault. He brumated...

    Brumating almost 3 months!

    Yes, you’ve helped a great deal. I wasn’t sure if I should be worried and you’ve eased my fears. Is it somewhat normal that he gained so much weight in the couple of months prior to starting brumation? Was he building up his fat stores or was his metabolism starting the process of slowing down?

    Brumating almost 3 months!

    Hi. :) I have a healthy big guy who recently turned 2. I’ve had him since he was itty bitty. I can’t recall exactly how long he brumated last year, but it was only for a few weeks and not continuous. He’d sleep for a week and then be awake for a few days before going back in his hide for more...

    Bearded dragon refuses to go to the bathroom inside cage.

    No. My guy does the same...glass surfs frantically until I clean it out. He was recently tested for parasites and was clear. I think they just don’t want to be trapped with the smell. Poop + heat + enclosed glass tank = :eek:

    Feeding Dubias

    I feed my roach colonies fresh organic veggies, greens, a little fruit and some bug burger.

    Bearded dragon refuses to go to the bathroom inside cage.

    I don’t take my guy out until he poops. Also, I am very prompt in cleaning his mess so he isn’t trapped with the stink.

    Have any of you used this or seen this before?

    That’s a very common reptile supplement.

    Zen 2x2x4’ uvb & basking

    I’ve been using incandescent but those are getting harder to find. I’ll check on the halogen. Thanks!

    Zen 2x2x4’ uvb & basking

    Very nice! I was just revisiting the diy tutorials. I think that might be the way for me to go. Spike is a leaper and keeps knocking the hammocks down.

    Zen 2x2x4’ uvb & basking

    Thanks for the reply. Since my guy likes some height, I guess I’ll go with the 12% uvb. So your basking area looks at least 12” away from the top and you too are using a 150w bulb. Makes me wonder if my room temps are making it harder to achieve basking temps at any distance. I had my guy in his...

    Zen 2x2x4’ uvb & basking

    Hi. I very recently upgraded my sweet guy to a 2x2x4’ Zen and unfortunately didn’t anticipate the change in height from his previous 18” high enclosure to the new 24”. Before I buy new stuff, I’d like to know how others are managing the uvb and basking heat in their 2’ tall enclosures. I have...

    Red urate?

    Me too! With the weekend coming, there’s no time to delay. Had a sick cat last weekend and spent a small fortune for the emergency vet visit.
