I just received a 7-8 weeks bearded dragon from a breeder here in Canada. I don't know the exact specifics of him but he's pretty chill. Maybe you guys can tell what kind of beardie he is?
This is my first time keeping a beardie and there are lots of things that I am anxious of.
I just got him 5 days ago, maybe the relocation stress is still there.
I've been trying to teach him drink from the water bowl. He knows the water is there but doesn't want to drink from there. I think he got spoiled because of me dropping water droplets directly to him :lol:
My concerns:
- Low appetite, maybe the relocation stress? Or not enough UVB because of the lighting I'm using? Not to mention I have a screen top that halves the UVBs(I heard).
- Only eats dusted crickets for some reason, ignores non dusted.
This is my beardie:
Diet:
Dusting: Mix of Calcium without D3 + ZooMed Reptivite
Food:
Cricket (either dusted or not), Dandelion Greens, Papaya
This is my set up:
Enclosure:
40 gallon glass aquarium, cardboarded on half
Screen top with double light dome on top
Lighting:
ZooMed Repti Basking Spot Lamp (100W)
ZooMed Reptisun 10.0UVB (Compact Fluorescent)
Substrate:
Reptile Carpet
Temperature (stick on thermometer):
Basking: ~110F-115 F
Cool side: ~85-90F
Light Schedule (via day/night timer):
On: 7:00AM
Off: 9:00PM
If there's any information you need feel free to ask! Thanks guys!
