I moved back in with my parents after graduating college over a month ago. Since we moved in, Dimitri hasn't eaten ANYTHING. She won't eat greens, little pieces of veggies or fruit, and she doesn't even chase after live crickets (she's never not chomped down every last cricket I gave her). Her...

How do you buy crickets in bulk?

I've eagerly awaited seeing some head bobbing or arm waving behavior from my beardie for almost 2 years now. You're so lucky that such a tiny baby is already doing those behaviors! Try to upload it on youtube, then post the link is this thread. Just a suggestion.

These forums are the only place I've ever seen/heard people talking about feeding dubia roaches to their beardies. Apparently it saves money? I don't know how I'm going to keep up with spending almost $10/week on crickets for my Dimitri. :( Where do you get them? How do you start a colony...

Thanks for the feedback. Where did you acquire this information?

I've been getting this question a lot lately, and I can't seem to find an answer online or in my Pogona vitticeps book. I dislike having no answer to such a popular question about my beloved Dimitri! Exactly how old is the bearded dragon species? Have they been around since BEFORE dinosaurs...

Rasberry face, so cute!! Happy 3 years to the beauties! Do I see cheese slices in that salad? I haven't been very adventurous with my beardie's salad. Trying to pick up a few tips from more experienced owners as to what to try.

I'm currently using a 150w basking bulb in an adjustable fixture. Unless the intensity is set very high, the fixture gives off a high-pitched whine. I'm worried that it may be harmful to my beardie, whether just to her ears or maybe it just plain stresses her out. I have a basking...

Indeed it WAS a long 9 months for me. I also had to leave my beloved Chihuahua, Jewel, behind. She's fine because she lives with my parents who have another dog so they keep each other company. They refused to take care of Dimitri because she requires handling and it just plain creeps my mom...

I had to give my beardie, Dimitri, to a foster mom while I was in a dorm for 9 months. I have her back, now! I'm so happy! She's a fat healthy girl. :D Just wanted to share my joy with all you beardie lovers!

I had to find a temporary foster for my 9-month-old beardie, Dimitri, while I'm staying in the dorms at Sonoma State U (no pets allowed). It's only gonna be for a year (not even a full 12 months) but I'm still sad. *sigh*

How could something be going bad if it's brand new? And what is a ballast?

How do you place a probe right on the basking spot? If I do that, he'll walk all over it, and eventually knock it off, and it'll just be dangling randomly. If I have it right next to his basking spot flat up against the side of the tank, the temp reading is not accurate. How do I place it so...

I had ordered the fixture and bulb from petmountain.com a few months ago, and only installed it a few days ago because I wanted to get the most I could out of the previous bulb (I originally had an 18" bulb in a fixture I got from Home Depot). They've just been sitting in their boxes until a...

I just got a Fluker's 36" fixture for the 36" Reptisun 10.0 tube. Is it normal that it makes a very loud buzzing sound? The fixture also gets kinda warm, but that may be because there's a mirror built into the fixture to direct more light downwards. I wanted to throw in this question: where...
