My baby beardie Toasty unfortunatly died a few days ago by incurable causes.
Although we can never replace him, my husband and I want to buy another beardie. I found one at the reptile shop that's perhaps 5 months old, perhaps even less.
I just want to have a few questions answered please before I start being a lizard mom again. I would like to do everything right.
-For a 4-5 month year old beardie, How many times should i dust calcium and how many times should i dust vitamens?
-For an adult?
-Do i dust them on the first feeding of the day or both feeding times?
-I heard giving liquid calcium glutonate allows the beardie to absorb their calcium better. How do you give your beardie this supplement as opposed to dusting?
-On average, how many small dubias should a 4-5 month old eat in a day?
-How many large dubias should an adult in a day?
-How do I give water to a beardie to assure he is not dehydrated? (Besides a bath or nose dripping)
-What is a price friendly way to regularly check for parasites? (Besides going to the vet, visible parasites in poop or signs of parasite infestation. Im wondering if i can check up regularly)
-How can I prevent parasites via feeders? I heard dubias dont carry parasites as crickets do.
-Are mustard greens a good staple vegetable to offer my beardie everyday?
Thank you. I really want to do everything right for my new beardie and correcting these little dings in my knowledge would be extremely helpful.
