    I agree about pet store lacking/suppling the wrong info. everytime I go into petco....I see the same lil dragons 3 inches long.they look to be suffering to me....but they appear to be healthy. they are too small to be sold in my opinion,the heat is all wrong,they get crickets larger than their...

    I would add in worms with my veggies ,at first my little one wouldn't eat them. I started off with wild yard clovers,thats the only green he wanted. now they prefer the greens over crickets. I give them broccoli,mustard greens,kale lettece and squash all chopped up.

    my beardies are starting to eat less...but the initial investment was high,demand was high.as they get older the degree of attention required slacks off a bit.

    only likes one side of tank

    from what I hear...the red lights aren't good for beardies. and any cheap analog temp isn't trust worthy. I bought a $30 infared temp gun for accuracy. I setup my 40 gal tanks to only have heat lamp on one side,and uvb on both sides. my beardies spend 90% of their day on the heated side. heres...

    Adult Dragon still wont eat salad

    my dragons wouldn't eat their salads either. I tried some regular 3 leaf yard clovers....they tore it up fast,so I started mixing that in with the salads....they are 4 mths old and eat about 35 crickets and 1/2 their salad every day....I eventually stopped putting clovers. hope that trick helps
