So I finished going through the links I was provided, and have a few questions.
1) Could I keep crickets in a Kritter Keeper? I keep a few of these around the house in case I need to temporarily re-house my rodent pets, so I could find one to spare. Would that work for them?
2) Do beardies have to have roaches?? I have no problem feeding crickets, various worms, or any of the other live prey that was listed. However, I'll shamefully admit a fear of roaches. Is that something I need to conquer for my future dragons sake?
3) As I understand it, using an MVB bulb will provide both UVB and heat, with just the one light. Would you reccommend using an MVB, or would you reccommend having two lights?
4) A juvenile beardie shouldn't be kept on sand until they reach 10". (I plan to use newspaper before that) But is measuring done from tip of nose to base of tail, or tip of nose to tip of tail?
5) Which is better, Reptivite or Herptivite?
6) Are bearded dragons strictly stay at home pets, or could they be taken for a walk? Like in petsmart or out in the yard and such?
I know it's a lot of questions, so I obviously have a lot more research to do. But I would appreciate any help/answers/suggestions y'all can provide!
Add: I did have one more question; I know water bowls aren't 'neccessary' but would it hurt to put a shallow one in their anyways? Just in case?
