    Can We Make a "My Beardie Won't Eat Greens" Sticky?

    Not to be rude, but half of the posts here are the same question. The answer is simple - wait it out. Your beardie is encountering a new food, and he/she doesn't know what the hell it is. Sometimes they get spoiled and will refuse certain foods. Wait it out, and eventually their hunger will...

    Petco vs Me - Could go Legal.

    Since when does any business have to sell to a customer? What ever happened to "we reserve the right to refuse service..."? This entitled, sue-happy behavior is what's wrong with this goddamn country. Of course your lawyer says you have legal reasons xyz on your side - he's making money off you...

    Beardie Buffet Blend..?

    I toss some in chopped, moistened greens. They stick to the leaves, and my beardie gets a little extra with his greens!

    How to keep phoenix worms?

    Keep them in the container they come in - they will last 2-3 weeks at room temperature. You can store them in a wine fridge for longer (I don't think they survive below 50 degrees) if you have the equipment. My beardie is about the same age, and eats anywhere from 30-50 throughout the day. I...

    superworm ADDICTION!

    Supers are also relatively easy to breed (although it takes several months to get the colony going).

    I plan to starve my beardie.....

    This thread made me try an experiment last night. Surprisingly, my beardie greedily accepted dandelion greens when hand-fed them. I put down the dish with some more greens and beardie bites - and he then flung them all over the enclosure *sigh*

    Petco calciworms

    3 nearby Petcos (southeastern MA) all sell calciworms, although they usually only have 1-2 containers on the shelves.

    I plan to starve my beardie.....

    My beardie will usually stare at me defiantly, then proceed to fling his greens all over the enclosure. He will then admit defeat and start munching when he realizes his bugs aren't coming.

    Poor Spike.. or how NOT to raise a baby beardy

    I wonder how poor of an existence my beardie would have had if it weren't for this site. He went a little nutty (complete with projectile head-butting) when moved into his fancy 4x2x2 (from his 10 gallon), but adjusted quickly.

    Tile for floor?

    Basically what's already been said - easy to clean, impossible to ingest, keeps the nails trimmed, good insulator, looks nice, relatively cheap. Just lay it down and you're done. The pre-cut sizes didn't quite fit into my enclosure, so I filled in the excess with some sand for aesthetics - it's...

    Found my beardie at the bottom of his cage today

    As much as some people don't want to admit it, sometimes beardies just do retarded stuff. Mine was hanging half upside down off a ledge for over an hour yesterday, for example.

    Male dubia with chewed wings

    I have an UTH. The adhesive won't stay on the tote once it gets hot though, so I've had to cover it with duct and electrical tape.

    New Hampshire

    I'm from MA - I don't see a lot of representation from New England on here

    Egg Trays?

    Spending $50 for something you can get for free (and quite easily) is silly. I got almost 100 of them from a bakery.

    The camera is a great idea! I think I'm stealing that one.
