Brand new owner of a Beardy

dracothebeardy · Sep 8, 2017

Hello,
I'm brand new to owning a bearded dragon but I bought one for my 5th grade classroom. I'm still learning everyday how to care for him. I may have many questions...

Hi! Be sure to read many care sheets about owning a beardie. A good place to start is https://www.beardeddragon.org/articles/caresheet/

I suppose the most important things are husbandry (proper UVB levels, temperatures, and a not-loose substrate) and proper food sources and supplementation. But a good care sheet should cover all of those!

Just come here if you have questions. Good luck with your beardie! May we have photos of the little fella and their new home?

Quick question, my beardy tends to run away from the crickets I give him. I place him under his heat lamp to warm him up and give him more confidence, then he just stares at them. He doesn't eat them when I'm there. Should I give him a time limit and try to feed him later. He's just a baby.

Hello and welcome! As a baby, he should be eating like crazy.. What size crickets are you giving him? They should be no larger than the space between his eyes. He may not go after them if they are large-sized crickets.
