Need some guidance here. I have had my beardie for 28 day and I got him from Petco. They have a 30 day vet policy where they buy him back and take him to the vet. If he needs any treatment they will treat him and sell him back when he's a better. The only reason I'm thinking about using this...

Is it common for them to slow down on eating during maturity? He eats but very little like 2-3 leafs 1-2 crickets and sits under the basking and uvb light all day. With his head pointing up. Just now it seemed like he was trying to dig in his basking log. Scratching his face on it. Then he...

So this morning my beardie didn't eat at all at his normal breakfast. He is only a couple months old. He didn't eat till 1.5 hours past normal time. I went to work for a few hours and came home to check on him. He seemed fine but when I was making his salad he vomited all the food up. (I did...

Thank you for the info on gut loading crickets. I will definitely be doing that for now on

He is about 8-10 inch long. The worm in only an inch and half maybe. Thanks for the info between different bugs. Currently he's eating crickets, Phoenix worms, and I am switching him from mealworms to wax worms. Greens are collard, mustard, and parsley. He vomited the day I got him and it scared...

So I've read that you shouldn't feed baby Beardies anything longer than the space between their eyes. I got my little man a Hornworn for a treat, but it is about twice as long as the space. Should I hold off for now or is that size once ok to feed him? Has anyone had issues with choking or...

Weird question here. I keep seeing all these pictures of Beardies cuddling with their pets all over. My baby lets me hold him for a few min and then gets curious of other stuff and starts trying to go on an adventure. He does get to run around on the floor daily. In a pin since he runs around so...

Well I tried to take a pic oh a cricket next to a dime. But they keep jumping away. The biggest cricket in the box is a little bit bigger than half way across a dime. The rest smaller than that. In comparison to small size mealworms they are smaller in length.

Thank you for all the info. I picked up some crickets and he seems to like those more than the mealworms. I also gave him some oil and changed his basking light to 100w. Now I just have to figure out how to mount the uvb bulb in the tank. Seems to have helped with his mood. He is now running...

Here is the set up. I am currently using Zilla Slimline desert 50 uvb t8 Zilla 50 watt day white basking light And a ceramic bulb (can't remember what brand) His mealworms are vita bugs small Thanks for the info on the marks. I will try the oil today. Because he is eating worms just not...

Hello, This is my first Beardie companion and I have a lot to learn. After finding this site and reading thread after thread I came across Belly Stress marks. I looked into it some more and have become concerned that he might be stressing out. I've only had him a few days and want to make...
