6Week Old Bearded Dragons

Hello Everyone,
I Have 9 , 6 week old bearded dragons. Below are pictures of the set up and the babies. The have a 10.0 uvb bulb and a 75watt heat light. Recently i had 5 dragons pass away to what seemed to be a calcium defeciency. Since then i have been dusting the crickets with calcium and ensuring they gdt enough water. One baby seems a little behind while the rest of them are eating and shedding just fine. Any suggestioms would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ya, the little ones look good so far I remember your other thread where the other ones died. Remember that it's always good to look for advice with anything new + as serious as raising babies. The calcium is a top requirement for babies, sorry to hear about the ones that died.


So is your 10.0 a coil or compact ? Because that won't do too well for these guys, maybe ror 1-2 in a tote that could sit directly under it. You'll need to split these guys up ASAP, they are all cramped in the same basking spot and are at the age where toes + tails are going to get bitten, some can do a lot of damage. You don't need anything fancy, I [ and many other breeders ] used medium plastic totes to raise them. You also need a long tube Reptisun 10.0 so there will be much more uvb coverage. Set them up something like this with 4 dragons in one + 5 in another :
