I can imagine that it did. But I guess it makes sense that as we gain new knowledge about bearded dragons, that would affect the way we care for them. For example, we thought kale was bad to feed every day, but now we know it's okay as a staple.

I'm new to owning a bearded dragon, and I was always nervous about how much I was feeding or wasn't feeding Bowser. I stumbled upon this fairly recent podcast and thought it was pretty interesting. They interview BeardieVet, the world's leading expert in bearded dragons. He recommends a very...

Okay, thanks. He seemed to be a little better later in the day and actually caught crickets on his own. I got him some more fresh veggies today, including his favorite: butternut squash. So, hopefully, he will feel better tomorrow.

Bowser is having his first day of being under the weather since I got him in December. He had a large "carroty" poop this morning because I think I gave him too much carrot yesterday. I only give him some carrot once or twice a week. His appetite is not great today, and I had to hand-feed him...

I got my prickly pear cactus pads in the mail today! I ordered them from Amazon. I planted half in organic cactus soil, and I'm going to cut up one to feed Bowser this week with his other greens. I think I might give away a some to a couple of my students who have bearded dragons at home...

I’m not sure, I just bought a 100 crickets from the pet store, some are too big so I’ll probably bring them back and trade for smaller ones. They are pretty messy, and I worry that they’ll get loose in my house 🤪

Okay sounds good. So far I have 1/2 inch dubias in my cart and medium soldier fly larvae.

I started putting things in a cart on the dubia.com site last night. I’ll be placing an order soon. Definitely cheaper than the pet store. I’ll be giving Bowser the smallest of the crickets I just bought. First time I’ve been hearing the crickets sing. 😳 He munched down the little meal worm I...

So far, Bowser has had six medium crickets this morning and three medium 1/2” Dubais for lunch and I’m going to give him 6 more crickets tonight. He always gobbles everything up right away. He’s also had his salad today which he’s eaten most of - kale, arugula and mustard greens. I’m going to...

I got a small container of mealworms a couple weeks ago and they’ve been in my fridge. Is it okay to give him one, once a week? Or should I just not feed him those?

Okay, that would be great, thank you.

Okay, I think I need to feed more. I was being cautious at first as he wasn’t pooping. But he’s pooping regularly now. What time should the last feeding of the day be? I’m going to pick up some different insects next time. Luckily the pet store I go to has a pretty good variety.

I've had my bearded dragon for a couple of weeks now. Bowser is settling in and eating great and pooping about every other day. He has an Arcadia T5 desert pro 24W UVB. I want to make sure I am feeding him enough insects. He is eating crickets and dubia roaches and veggies (arugula, kale, and...

Yes it’s 4x2x2, I’m going to hang it on the mesh on the inside with chains, unobstructed and ensuring that it is the proper distance from the basking spot. I can also just transport the 24W back and forth. It’s a little bit of a pain, but they are so expensive, I guess its worth it.

Yay! So psyched he seems to be adjusting well. I was excited to see that he pooped again. But boy did it stink when I cleaned it. 🤢 I’m going to get him some fresh veggies tomorrow when I go on my shopping trip and pick up the Arcadia proT5 to put back on his tank here at home. I might get the...
