Hi!

My beardie is around 15 months old. He eats salad and veggies everyday and sometimes twice a day. We are currently still feeding him Dubia roaches everyday. I know when they get older they are supposed to eat more salad and bugs get cut down. Should I be cutting his bug feeding down now? If so, how many should he be having and how many times a week? Thanks!!!

Please drop to 2-3 times per week - feed as many as he will eat -- what kind of UVB are you using please this will determine the calcium hes getting

We have a T5 10.0 uvb long fixture
Ok so dust the insects one time a week w/ calcium D3 the other two days calcium w/ out D3 NO phosphorus -- make sure your UVB is properly placed and distanced for the screen on the tank --

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
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
