Anyone have any recommendations on where to get crickets? I currently buy mine at petsmart, but at 11 cents per cricket I think I can probably find someplace cheeper. Granted, I only have one bearded dragon currently so I'm only spending about $10 a week on crickets, but still, I'm wondering if...

I just noticed in the bottom of my cricket keeper there are a few tiny little white worm like things crawling in it. What are these? Why are they there? Do crickets have worms? Are they dangerous for my bearded dragon to eat???? Gross!!!! I don't like crickets in the first place. This is kinda...

Does he spray any type of pesticides or anything in the garden or on the lawn? I would be very, very careful with what you get from outside. You don't want to poison your beardie.

Just thought i would bump this up to the top since no one has replied yet. Can anyone help me out and let me know if this is ok?? Thanks!

Welcome! Where in PA?

Thanks. I also have to say I love the pictures you have of Lilly on your link at the bottom. She's cute! Erin

Zeke is my first bearded dragon, so I want to make sure I'm doing things right. Am I feeding him enough? He's at least 20 months old, maybe older. (I got him 8 months ago, and the lady I got him from said he was about a year old at that time. She wasn't sure exactly, he may have been a bit...

Wow, I don't really see how big he's getting when i see him everyday, but when I see the old photos (They are from about 7 months ago) I can really see how much he's grown. I need to take updated photos of him.

Thought I would post a few photos. Here's Zeke!! (These are a little old, i'm no longer using the same substrate.I know it can be dangerous for them if they ingest it.)

I've had Zeke since November and have never had this problem before. Am I doing something wrong? I buy 40 large crickets from the petstore about once a week. I put them in my cricket keeper when i get home and give them cricket food to eat. (the orange cube stuff, it's supposed to be both food...

I'm not exactly new here, but haven't logged on for a long time. I got busy with life and then got a new computer. Unfortunately the website just didn't get transferred to my favorites list when I switched over. Anyway, I was bored today and found you guys again!! Luckily I remembered my user...

Ask away! Good luck with him. As I've found out recently as well, beardies are great little pets! I recommend getting a book from the library or bookstore on bearded dragons and research as much as you can. That's what I did when I got Zeke. Various websites are a good resource as well, just...

I'm not sure on the cost, but he really does need to see a vet. He'll need antibiotics as well. It he doesn't, it will probably only get worse.

I actually just posted a shedding question not too long ago. How often they shed all depends on the dragon. Some shed more then others. Some may shed only once or twice a year. It really helps if you give him a bath while he's shedding. It's good for them. It aids in the shedding process. Also...

Cute! Rancor's situation sounds alot like my beardie Zeke's. I got Zeke off of Craigslist as well from a girl who couldn't keep him anymore because she was going off to college. He's about a year old, she wasn't exactly sure. He had no UVB lighting, was on crushed walnut shells for a substrate...
