I rinse and dry, just to make sure no dirt or anything is left. He doesn't like squash, usually I'll mix in bell peppers, broccoli, carrot, or something just to give it some contrast. He doesn't get much fruit, maybe once or twice a month. UVB is 10.0 T5 tube, inside the tank, about 15in away...

I understand as an adult 70%-80% of their diet should be greens, but how many greens do I give? Like, how many ounces? I am just worried I might be over feeding him because his poops have been watery even though he doesn't have parasites (took him to the vet). I usually have a mix of collard...

Next time I am at the store I'll have to ask about that, could save twice the amount of waste that way! lol I'll have to look into some recipes too, we have an old blender no one uses somewhere in the kitchen. Could make for a nice snack or quick breakfast! Thanks for the tips Brandon!

I was just wondering if anyone had advice for keeping greens fresh longer. I don't have anywhere near me that sells greens in smaller bags or smaller bundles. It feels like I am throwing away half a bag of greens every week and I feel awful about it, I don't like wasting food. I have no issue...

Good news, Bucky had his first poop today after all of his medicine was given and it was solid! It held its shape and had no undigested food, also the urate was fully formed. It was in a puddle of liquid, but from what I have read usually is just excess liquid from veggies.

I can't do dubia roaches because I live in Florida, I currently have two colonies of Discoid roaches growing that are already breeding. I will pick up some carrots to feed along with the food I'm giving them! I will look into the silk worms, but we are experiencing a lot of storms and very hot...

So bad and good news, it is parasites, but she gave me medicine to start giving Bucky right away! She said to stop the medicine after 4 days and wait. If I don't see improvement by two or three weeks I can come back in for another test and more medicine if he needs it. She also confirmed he is a...

The UVB is a ReptiSun 10.0 T 5, it is 15 inches from the bottom of the tank and 12 inches when he is on his log. I take temp two ways, with an in tank probe and with a heat gun directly. I called some vets near me, and they don't take reptiles. I tried to explain I just needed to check for...

Hi guys! So my beardie Bucky has been having some really wet and smelly poops as of the last few weeks (He poops once to twice a week) and I am getting concerned. By smelly I mean I almost puke every time I clean his tank smelly. At first, I thought it might have been too many greens, but I cut...

Oh okay, thanks, I will look out for them!

Yeah, I read that bee pollen doesn't always work, but at this point I was desperate :lol: I am so glad it did work, I was getting worried that he'd never get onto greens by himself! Hopefully someone here knows about the vitamins though :D

Hi! So I had a quick questions about feeding bee pollen to my beardie, Bucky. Bucky doesn't like greens because his previous owner had him on a pellet and cricket diet, I saw online that bee pollen can make a beardie want to eat greens. It is working like a charm, he'll eat it straight out of my...

Yeah, I saved the links you gave me for the worms, is there a reasonable way for me to breed those like the crickets or roaches? Thankfully his last 3 poops have had a moist urate

Alright I will limit the baths, I didn't realize that because other websites say every day. I am so glad I found this site, especially with other sites spreading bad advice! He isn't drinking from the bath, he also isn't eating his greens as often as he should. Maybe once every two or three...
