Thanks! Jav

I have a bit of a problem here. I've had a few people show me that link to that site that gives the best foods for beardies to eat every day (greens wise) but I can't get any of that here in my local grocery store. I live in a small town in northern BC, and there's basically no call for any of...

If your UV light is 4 years old, it's a good possibility he's developed metabolic bone disease. It's also called 'jelly legs' and it's when the lack of UV causes the lizard to be unable to create his own vitamin D. This in turn causes him to stop absorbing calcium which leads to a softening of...

Thanks for the reply Andy. =) It's not necessary for Bruce to have a night heat lamp about 8 or 9 months of the year, but when it comes to winter, it gets pretty cold in my house so I keep it on just to keep her from getting too cold. She's usually brumating at that point, so I don't know how...

I think there can be risks with any thing you put in the enclosure. I've seen beardies attempt to take bites out of silk and plastic plants and out of the reptile carpet. I've had people bring their beardie in to the pet store with burns on it's stomach from one of the rock heaters. I've never...

@ dannieeliza : I thought cabbages (main ingredient in coleslaw) were really bad for beardies because of some type of chemical (can't remember off the top of my head what it is) that was bad for them in the plant itself. Can anyone confirm this?

Hey guys, I've read a lot on here about the ReptiGlo's being really bad UV wise for the beardies, but I don't have a local ReptiSun dealer. Do any of you know of a place in Canada that sells it? Or a place in the US willing to ship to Canada? Also, on a separate post, I read that beardies can...

Don't the new ReptiGlo's look like the energy savers?

When I realized that my beardie only wanted to be hand fed I just stopped cold turkey. She didn't eat anything the first day I did that, but the second day she was hungry enough that she got her but over to her food dish and ate on her own. Now as soon as I put her salad down, she books it...

Fez was right, he/she is just spoiled. :P Why go to the food dish when you're willing to feed them?

I'm a little curious as to how many crickets I should be feeding my beardie. I look on here and it looks like most people only do 20ish at a time, however mine frequently eats 40-50 in one sitting. She only gets them every 3 days, with salad on the off days, but with an adult, I don't see how...

She's doing well now. Eating like normal, and just sitting under her light looking bored, as usual. =) I've never heard of that light...is it available in Canada?

I'm using the SolarGlo 125W (just read on here that they're not that great after all), but it's only a couple of months old. She gets calcium/D3 on her crickets which is every 3 days, and pellets with her salad every day. l haven't had her since she was a baby; she was owned before I had her...

My beardie tends to like romaine lettuce the best. Her usual salad is romaine, a few raspberries, peas and occasionally melon and kiwi. Any suggestions for sprucing up her salad? I'd get bored eating the same thing over and over, but she won't touch carrots, apples, any type of pepper or even...

Hi there, I'm new to the forums, but I've been a beardie owner for 2 1/2 years now. I bought Bruce at the pet store where I worked, mostly because I had an empty, unused 90g tank at home and because I felt sorry for him. The person who had previously owned Bruce was a 13 year old boy who lost...
