    Eating only bugs

    HI everyone I recently adopted(rescued) a 3 year old beardie. He wasn't in the best of health when we got him, thin, dehydrated, eye problems etc. Good news is, he is doing MUCH better, gaining a little weight, no longer dehydrated and eyes are getting better. Problem is, he will NOT eat any but...

    Good morning I’m a new beardie owner as well When I first got my dragon he did the same thing It’s like when the temps go down nighttime they are almost hibernating (semi brumation maybe?) lol I try and read all the new threads as I am learning as well How’s he doing now today ?

    Using real wood and rocks

    Just remember that there are some woods that are quite toxic to them. Pine and Cedar are definite no no

    New to the dragon world

    I have lights on timer as well, lights out now around 9:30 pm and back on at 8:00. once lights are out I usually don't bother with him, he usually falls asleep right after they go and and he sleeps pretty sound.

    Worried

    Thanks so much for your reply. I have been doing SO much reading and research as I just want him to get better. So good news, last night he ate 10 superworms and 3 pieces of dandelion greens ! This is HUGE for him. I know there are other staple worms he should be fed but unfortunately he has...

    Worried

    Worried

    what is another good green to try? Keeping in mind, I live in a remote area and have limited access for the short term but will get what I need to get for him
  15. Smitty

    Worried

    Well, I can't say it would be perfect as again, Beardies are certainly much different to care for. So right now I am using just a mercury vapor bulb which leaves the warm side of the tank at about 93-95 and the cool side is around 80-85---daytime I use a ceramic heater in the nighttime and tank...
