Ahh thanks both - the hand warmers are a good idea - but the battery pack even better! Have just converted as we use celcius but room temp would drop to around 55-60F for up to a day. That's in the absolute dead of winter but that's when we're likely to lose power. I'll definitely look up some...

At home we can expect a couple of power cuts a year, usually in winter. When there is no available power source what would you use to keep them warm for a few hours, up to a day (our last power cut lasted a full 24 hours). Last year we used a hot water bottle under a towel and placed Finn on the...

Thanks Gormagon that's what I was hoping. He's just let me measure/weigh him and he's 17 inches nose to tail and just over 300 grams, my Finn is similar length and just under 400 grams so nothing major!

I'm looking after my friend's friendly beardie for a couple of weeks while she's on holiday. Only comparing to mine, he seems a bit on the skinny side. He's just over a year old. I've heard that a bath can hydrate and plump the skin a little but it's the second day so I'll let him settle before...

OK thanks guys! I've just ordered some horn worms so we'll see how that goes. Had got a tin anyway, opened it and smelled gross so threw it straight in the bin ?

I'm specifically talking about the sort you get in a tin like the herp diner stuff/ can-o-crickets etc. Want to get something like this as a treat for Finn to jazz up his diet, not to replace livefood or be a main food source so I'm wondering if an opened tin will last in the fridge or if it...

kingofnobbys it's a friend that comes round fairly frequently so he won't be stressed by her feeding him, cleaning and changing water etc. She's just too nervous of losing him to get him out of the viv unfortunately! Having looked at a few blogs online I'm going to add some kind of hammock or...

Hi there, we are going on holiday for nearly two weeks and have arranged a house sitter to take care of our animals including all the lighting and food etc. But our beardie loves to be out of his viv, we handle him nearly every day so I'm worried he'll get bored or stressed being stuck inside...

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my slow response! They are the biggest ones, still not huge, but Finn will get through around 20 or 30 a day together with some crickets and veggies. He weighs around 28g and is less than 5 months and hasn't got a huge appetite. I've been damping the composty...

I accidentally ordered a thousand calci worms instead of a hundred :) I know they last a long time supposedly without any additional supplement in their composty stuff, but there is no way Finn can get through a thousand in a few weeks! How can I keep the worms alive and what can I feed them...

Thanks, yeah I think we are going to get a custom next time so we'll just go large! Is good to know this one will last a little while longer

Finn is still a baby, at 26g. He's in a viv which is 112cm long, 37cm deep and 40cm tall. My question is will I need to get a bigger one when he's a juvenile or will this last him through the juvenile stage if I get a bigger one when he's fully grown? In imperial size it's roughly 3ft long and...
