I got my baby/juvenile bearded dragon 3 weeks ago to this day. She's around 3 months old, 5 inches long (she has a nipped tail and now only half the tail is there. Bought her this way) and weighs about 14 grams. She has been eating good and she is very healthy, but I want to start having a schedule with her and to start feeding her out of the tank. I usually just dump around 30 crickets in her tank in the morning and they are usually gone or mostly gone by the end of the day. I just want to know how to adjust her to getting fed outside of her tank and in a separate feeding container. I tried this yesterday but she was just trying to get out of the feeding container and paid no mind to the crickets. Any tips to get her to cooperate?

Most beardies feel more secure in their own tank rather than a feeding tub. Some just never do adjust to it. I never used a separate tub + have no problems feeding any of my dragons. I think most owners feed them in their tank as well. Maybe if you keep trying, but since he's just a baby you don't wan to stress him too much , esp. while he's small.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
