Hi! My name is Paolo, and Charlie is my bearded dragon. She (or he tbh I have no clue yet) is I believe around 6 months old. I got her from PetSmart (I know, I am sorry. We went in for dog food and I walked out with Charlie and a terrarium. It was love at first sight!). I had NO idea how to care for her but the next 1-2 days was filled with research for Charlie.
Her diet
When she was younger, crickets, mealworms, then I quickly switched to tiny handpicked super worms! She would eat butternut squash, kale, strawberry, cabbage, and mango on occasion but she mostly chose the worms. I would dust each food with calcium powder for 4 then 2 with calcium d3
Her terrarium
It is a 40 gallon terrarium with the warm side going to 70F-108F(when it was winter it would drop because it would get way too hot in my room) with a UVB (not sure the W but I believe its around 100?). With 2 basking stones, and a branch (store bought) with her veggie food bowl in one side and her protein food bowl in the other. on the cold side i'm not really sure what the temp is
She has recently been waking up and walking around sometimes but she still has not eaten. She is currently hiding under her hammock
Every day I have offered a superworm (what she usually eats) and some veggies, with no luck. In the past 3 months, or so, she has pooped/peed once. I am not sure whether or not to be worried. Anyways, that just an introduction to Charlie and hopefully an answered brumation as I have seen that brumation for this long in young beardies are uncommon. Thank you!
