on other forums that i have partaken in, i've noticed that one of the most popular questions is beardies going to the bathroom. and i can undetstand the concern. when my hubby and i first got bernard, we did a bit of reading on taking care of beardies (i know totally backwards, but we are quick learners). everything we read related to if you don't do this, your beardie could get impacted and DIE!
it was a nightmare. don't get me wrong, it is very important and here are a few tips for newbies to beardie parenting:
- make sure your temps are right. use a digital probe thermometer for the most affordable results.
- make sure you have a hot and cool side with a florescent bulb running the course of the viv. we highly recommned the repti sun 10.0.
- make sure the food you are giving is no larger than the space between his/her eyes.
- make sure you give a warm bath 1-5 times per week. it depends on the age of your beardie. definitely needed more than once per week if under 1 year of age.
these are just a couple of quick hits. you can read our article at our home site:
