    Really need some advice

    That’s so helpful and kind of you. Thank you so, so much I really appreciate it. Ive been encouraging her to bask for the past month worrying she’s not getting enough heat/UVB but decided yesterday to leave her and see what she did on her own and she stayed hiding till around 3pm and then came...

    Really need some advice

    Aw wow he is gorgeous and looks so healthy-well done! Thanks a lot for that, I’m glad she’s not the only one doing this at her age! I think I sort of have in my head that if she was brumating I wouldn’t see her at all and she’d be asleep constantly, which probably isn’t right. I’d take her...

    Really need some advice

    Thanks a lot for your reply. I had kept reading that beardies less than a year shouldn’t be allowed to brumate, I’ve only found one source that’s said otherwise and I’m not sure how reliable it will be. On most forums etc people usually say 12/18 months minimum too, so it’s difficult to know...

    Ok thank you again that’s helpful. I’ll have another read around and see what I can find out x

    Really need some advice

    Thanks so much for your reply. This is one of the things I’ve been worried about even before I got her and was doing my research. The thing is, everywhere I’ve looked have said that if they are under a year they don’t normally go into brumation and that if they do you should prevent it since it...

    Really need some advice

    Just exactly the same, her appetite is maybe a tiny bit improved, but otherwise still hiding a lot, lethargic (or at least sleeping loads) etc

    Forgot to say, her tank is 4ft so temps range from 65-85 on the lower level.

    Really need some advice

    The bulb is an Arcadia UVB+ D3 T8 12%. It’s the same bulb I’ve always used, just a new one incase the old one had ran out of life. She was fine with it before but I guess maybe their preferences change? Right now her basking spot is 95. If I put it up to 100 or higher she seems to hide even...

    Really need some advice

    My beardie is 10/11 months old and for the past two months has been acting strangely and I’m at my wits end now. She hides loads, isn’t very active, sleeps lots during the day and has a decreased appetite > toilets less. She will run about outside her viv fine most of the time, which is a bit...

    Is it ethical to breed beardies just for fun?

    I’ve always wanted to try my hand at breeding reptiles and although I’m new to beardie keeping, I’m just in love with my little one. I’m really just mulling it over atm, I have no solid plans to mate her when she’s older, but I keep wondering if it’s actually ethical to be considering this at...

    I have a few more questions if anyone has time?(dusting and handling)

    Thanks for that! My house isn’t very big but there are a lot of places she could run under and I think it would be a nightmare to find her. I guess maybe I should just chill out about it and worry when it happens.

    I have a few more questions if anyone has time?(dusting and handling)

    Can I ask why? Everything I’ve read and everyone I’ve spoke to has said that dubias are a better choice for a staple feeder than crickets? They have a better nutritional value, including more protein. I don’t buy anything from pet stores, I get them from a respected breeder& seller and gut load...

    I have a few more questions if anyone has time?(dusting and handling)

    I posted a few weeks ago about my new baby, who seems to be slowly settling in and eating a little better now. However I’m still getting a little confused with some conflicting info I’ve been reading. I wondered if someone could let me know if this sounds good R.E dusting- I’m dusting roaches...

    Can someone help with all my questions please?

    I don’t know whether to start another thread on this so sorry if this is against the forums etiquette! But I have another question if anyone could help. Just now, I’m dusting with calcium 5 days a week, on the sixth day, dusting with a multivitamin that contains calcium and D3 and not dusting...

    Can someone help with all my questions please?

    Thank you for the advice. He/she is doing a little better now, eating quite a bit more (maybe still not as much as she should though), less glass/viv surfing and coming out at a regular-ish time each morning to bask, so she seems to be improving slowly but surely. She will occasionally eat from...
