I have a 5 month old beardie that loves his phoenix worms (about 60 a day) but won't touch his greens at all! I know that when they're young they prefer their protein over their greens but I was wondering at around what age should the transition to a more vegie diet be?
Thank you! Im gonna give it a try. I can't find any Manuka honey but I was able to get some Pure Raw Unfiltered honey. I PM'd someone in the forum (AHBD I think was the username) that I saw posted some suggestions about honey for eye infections and they got back to me right away. I was told I...
Can someone please tell me how to use honey for my beardies eye infection? My little guy Flynn, he's about 5 months old has an eye infection. He has been keeping his right eye closed for the past two weeks and in the mornings he wakes up with a clear white gooey discharge. I took him to the vet...
I have a 10 inch bearded dragon Im guessing he's about 4 months old, based on his size? He only eats phoenix worms about 45 a day and won't touch his mixed veggies at all. I've tried mixing the worms in with his salad but he just picks them out. Is this normal/healthy? at what age should he...
I have it on top of the screen. it is about maybe 8 inches from the highest point of his basking spot, but if he wants he can climb the wall and get right under it. He usually only goes on the wall about 30 min before the lights on his tank go off and he sleeps in this position.
I have a Reptisun T8 10.0 36 inch long uvb bulb in a zoomed hood with a reflector. I know the T5 are stronger but I was wondering if having it in a hood with a reflector made enough of a difference? Other than buying a UVB meter (they're like $200 :? ) is there another way to tell if my beardie...
If i notice that my beardie hasn't pooped in a few days I soak him in some warm water. make sure it's not to hot and let him soak for 5 or 10 min. the warm water usually helps them poop, just make sure you take him out after he poops. you don't want him swimming or sitting in dirty water.
thank you so much for your replies. Flynn finally decided to start eating!! I guess it took him a while to get acclimated to his new home, but I really appreciate everyones suggestions!
I'm concerned about my UVB set up. I have a 40 gallon tank with a reptisun 10.0 it's 36"in long and runs across the entire tank. the box says it's a 25 watt T8. Here's where i'm second guessing myself, I have the bulb in a reptisun hood sitting on THE OUTSIDE of the tank right on top of the mesh...
the lights are on a timer to go on at 7:00am and turn off at 7:00pm. Everyday I offer the phoenix worms at around 9:30 to give him time to warm up and I leave them in all day and take them out once the lights go off. the Reptisun 10.0 UVB is right next to the basking lamp but neither of the...
