    Bearded Dragon Lethargic -not eating/basking

    For the record, my beardie is about a year old and brumating. I'm not sure why people said 1 year, 4 months can't be brumating. Your beardie might just be brumating

    Dead beardie? Please help!

    Sorry to hear that. I got my dragon from PetSmart, and he had some issues when he was very young and PetSmart let me bring him in and were totally good about getting him back to health for free. Granted, some PetSmarts are better than others. It seems like you were doing all the right things...

    New bearded dragon tips

    Yeah it's gonna take some time for him to warm up to you and trust you. That open mouth likely means he's threatening to bite. But I think you should still try to pick him up and hold him at least a few times a day so that you're starting to socialize him and get him used to being handled by...

    Newbie, Need Help Pls!

    I've heard from a few different folks that you're not supposed to feed waxworms to young dragons. When mine was very young, he liked the dubias and the mealworms, but the superworms were too large for him. He often had trouble catching the crickets and dubias, so I would try to paralyze them...

    "Give me arugula, or give me death!" --Blackbeard

    Hi Lindalee, Sorry for the slow reply, but the hibiscus and mulberry bushes sound amazing. Are those things I could grow in a pot? How long would it take to grow it out? I definitely have enough sun here in San Diego.

    "Give me arugula, or give me death!" --Blackbeard

    Hey, thanks, he's eating mustard greens now! I have to admit, I never tried mustard greens before. He must like the bitter, spicy taste, similar to arugula. Now he's eating two greens, yay

    "Give me arugula, or give me death!" --Blackbeard

    Thanks for the info, definitely gonna try the switcheroo, or maybe putting some mustard greens underneath arugula. It would be nice to get confirmation that arugula isn't great as a staple. There's a ton of misinformation out there. For example, I saw one video where the person insisted...

    My baby won’t eat.

    I'm no expert by any means, but my beardie stopped eating for 5 days when he was a couple of months old. I think you want to bring him to a vet if possible. They said he had parasites, which they were able to treat with medicine. And he was also impacted, meaning he couldn't poop, which they...

    "Give me arugula, or give me death!" --Blackbeard

    I have a beardie named Blackbeard who's about 8 or 9 months old now. He seems pretty healthy for the most part. Spry and alert. He gets along well with my cat. I'm a little worried about Blackbeard's diet. He eats plenty of dubia roaches, superworms, mealworms, and crickets. And he LOVES...

    Temps

    I think part of the problem might be that your basking log and tree are very low to the ground. I have the exact same tank with a 100W bulb, but with a basking tree I got from PetSmart that is much taller. My baby dragon can get about 6 inches from the bulbs sitting on top of the tree, and it's...

    my baby bearded dragon has not eaten anything in several days

    Hello all, PetSmart will actually have a vet look at him, so I'm getting him over there today and hopefully they can get him back to healthy. I'm sure you guys see panicky posts like this all the time, but thanks for reading.

    my baby bearded dragon has not eaten anything in several days

    Hi all, thanks in advance for any advice. I'm starting to get quite worried. I got a baby bearded dragon last week from PetSmart, and I bought a Thrive 40-gallon tank. I put the temperature gauge directly on the basking tree next to where he usually basks, and it says 105 degrees and the...
