    Super worms?

    I’ve been feeding smaug (around 3 months old) superworms. He loves them, but I’ve been hearing stories of beardies getting addicted to them and not eating regular food after a while and I’ve been wondering how many it’s appropriate to feed him per week?

    Gout in beardies

    Has anyone experienced a beardie with gout issues? Mine won’t eat on his own anymore (unless it’s mealworms, but I’m trying to keep him off of these since this is what I believe caused it to start with) and his back legs are not moving normally. They either drag, or, when he does move them it...

    HELP! Is Calibrachoa safe for my beardie to eat?

    Help! My bearded dragon ate some Calibrachoa x hybrid leaves while we were outside in my garden. He is typically very picky so it really caught me off guard. He got maybe two mouthfuls of the leaves. It's related to petunias, but I'm still not sure it's safe. PLEASE HELP.

    Weird solid in beardie poop

    There is a weird splinter/tendril-like solid in my bearded dragon's poop. Nothing she's eaten recently seems likely to be the source, though I recently brought collard greens and bok choy into her diet. Her temps are fine, and she has plenty of heat and basking spots to digest. There's no smell...

    Any other young Bearded Dragon protein sources?

    I got my beardie a few months ago. I've been feeding him meal worms as a protein source because the pet store worker said that they were a good daily diet. However, I just read that meal worms can make a bearded dragon fat and unhealthy. I know that I need to find another protein source but I...

    Concerned about Juvenile eating too much. Please help

    My almost 5 month old male bearded dragon is eating a lot. And when I mean a lot, he is going through 1,000 dubia roaches in less than a week. He won't stop eating until I take the bugs away. I swear he wouldn't stop if I let him.. He never leaves a single bug in his cage and he devours them as...

    Over weight???

    Here’s some pics of Drogon and I was wondering how can I tell if I’m feeding him too much? I don’t think I am but I just want to be positive. He doesn’t drag his stomach or anything, he’s about 7-8 months old (I think we never got a DOB), good leg strength but his tail looks a little thick. And...
