Sorry it’s been a while. I had hoped to make more frequent updates, but time hasn’t given me chance. On July 7th, Walter celebrated his first birthday. I had planned a Birthday treat of superworm s, which are one of his absolute favorites, but he is going through a big shed at the moment and...

I tried dipping beardie crack (Superworm) in his calcium and vitties, but he acts like I’m offering him a stick of dynamite! I’m weighing him regularly and he’s a steady weight, so he must be getting enough nutrition. He’s active and alert. Tried changing his supplements to repashy calcium...

I haven’t been able to get a picture, but did manage to take a look yesterday. I saw two quite prominent bulges, so I assume that means he is definitely a he? I’ll try to post a picture as soon as I can anyways for those with more experience to confirm. Assuming Walter is a boy, is lack of...

Could Walter be a girl? I’ve never seen him black beard (though he does puff it out a lot) or head bob, and whilst he’s rampaging around his cage, he has also been digging up his Bioactive substrate. At 8 months, should he have developed femoral pores or other ways I can use to tell if he is a...

I posted last month concerned that my 8 month old bearded dragon, Walter, might be trying to brumate. After following everyone’s advice, Walter did go through a period of semi-brumation, during which he would sleep 2-3 days, then be up 1-2 days. After a few weeks of this, he seems to have...

Thanks, Brandon, for the link. It was an interesting read, and a reassuring reminder that beardies do this quite naturally in the wild with no problems. I checked on Walter Thursday and found him hanging out under his cork flat with his nose just poking out. His eyes were half closed, but...

I followed everyone’s advise and decided to Let him do what his body was telling min he needed to do. Wednesday he was actually awake when I checked on him in the morning, and stayed out all day basking. I offered him food, but he was not interested. He went to bed about three hours before...

Walters’s still not showing much love for his salads. After getting him up twice today to check on him, and then later to weigh him, he decided to stay up and bask. It’s been two days since he accepted anything to eat, so I tried your advice since he was looking quite alert, and offered him a...

I just weighed him and he’s 402g. I’m not sure of his length, but he’s at least 16.5 inches. Is that size okay for him to brumate? Walter does seem to have a lot of natural instincts in him, so I’m not entirely surprised that he would want to brumate. But he seems so young! Should I do...

Hi, everyone. I’m looking for some advise about my bearded dragon, Walter. He’s a little over seven months old now, and I’m worried he’s trying to brumate. For about the past week, he has barely wanted to eat, and only basked for about 2-3 hours each day. The rest of the time, he makes...
