Hello everyone Just wondering if many people here feed/fed their dragons in a separate tank or enclosure to make it easier. My beardie is about 3 months old and I think he should be eating much more than he is. I put crickets/hoppers/whatever in his Viv and he doesn't bother to chase...

Hi All Got my beardy about 6 weeks ago, he was about 5-6 weeks old. He still seems to be very shy/nervous. He won't leave his cave if I'm in the room (I've actually taken it away cause didn't think he was getting temps). Now he'll hide behind anything he can, stone etc. If he's on top of...

Hey thanks for the reply Yes I've just red they are little nasty critters, think one actually started nibbling on my arm yesterday while I had my hand in the Viv. What I might start doing is make the Viv smaller for now, it's 4foot long, put one cricket in and hopefully he'll devour it...

Hi All Have my Bearded Dragon two weelks now, and I'm guessing he's around 8weeks old. Since he's been in his new home I've only seen him eat once, a cricket. I'm fairly sure he's eaten 1 or 2 more when I'm not around. The thing is he doesn't leave his hide when I'm around. I've put...

I'm guessing it's shedding, it's flaky like skin. His tail looks fine. I've attached a photo.

Hello everyone I have my beardie almost two weeks now and starting to get a little bit worried. He is always in his little cave hide, I put crickets in but he is not eating them, doesn't seem to want any veg either. I'm worried he won't get enough UV or Calcium. For the last 5days now I...

Hi Everyone Would like to introduce myself and my beardie Loki (Photo attached). He's my first bearded dragon, I got just over a week ago now 28th May. He was really active when in the pet store, the guy couldn't get a hold of him he was running all over the place. Since he's been in...

Really glad to hear that mickeysmomma, really puts me at ease. My beardie Loki has hardly left his hide since discovering it Friday. I got him on Friday and was starting to get worried that he might be sick or really stressed out. One concern I have is he won't eat while I am around, so can I...

Thanks guys, appreciate the assurance. Ya, Jack is still hiding away in his hide. I've seen him eating at least one cricket now so I'm a little happier. I've seen some of the green pepper I put in disappear as well. Now I'm not sure what's the best thing to do, Leave him alone to get used...

Hi I got my first beardie on Friday and I am just wondering if he is behaving normal. He spends all his time in he's hide. Doesn't seem to be eating, or at least I haven't seen him eating. I'm guessing he is just getting used to the new home but said I'd ask the question. I have thought about...

Totally new to keeping bearded dragons would like some advice. I have setup my Viv, have all the lighting etc. What I was wondering about was how well a beardie will look after his own temperature. My cold side never drops below 75 F, my basking spot has been reaching 115 F. I was wondering it...

Thank you Feel much better about it now. Think I'll splash on some things for the viv this weekend.

Hi All Planning on getting a bearded dragon, have viv, and planning out the rest first. One thing that I'm unsure about is how much time they require when young. The issue is, I leave for work roughly 07:30 Monday - Friday and get home roughly 18:30. Now I could feed them in the morning...
