Hi! I've been scouring the internet for any definitive feeding guides and while they have largely similar advice for feeding hatchlings and adults, I've run into some varying information regarding feeding older juveniles (8+ months). I've seen some guides claim that you should start doing one live feeding a day at 8 months and some say you should start doing that at 18 months. What is the actual age they should start having one live feeding a day? Is there a definitive indicator (i.e., weight, length)?

There isn't really a set indicator. It varies between dragons. It generally has to do with their growth. As their growth slows down and they approach full size, you want to slowly transition their diet to mainly vegetarian. This is usually between about 12-18 months but it really does vary.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
