4-10 crix a day is usually what an ***** at the petstore would tell you to feed but personally if I tried to give Algren just 10 crix a day (if I still fed him crix) he would seriously flip out and bug me till i fed him more. He eats about 25-30 large silkies (at least 2 inches... pre-cocoon...
Silkworms, roaches, phoenix worms, or supers (when hes large enough) are the best choice... all he can in in 10 mins is probably good with all the veggies he can eat all day
http://www.beautifuldragons.503xtreme.com/Nutrition.html This is a good list of foods for your beardie to eat. Also if you get the MVB from reptileuv you need to keep it atleast 12 inches from being touched not 6 or w/e like the flourescent bulbs. At nine months it would probably be a good idea...
http://www.sunshinedragons.com/firstdragon.htm here's a caresheet you may want to use... there are many out there that will do some help. I also suggest buying "The Bearded Dragon Manual" by Philippe De Vosjoli.
Wow where to begin on this one... 20 Gal is way too small; a 4x2x2 is about right... long is better than high (they like to stretch their legs)... You need a PROPER UVB light source and heat source... Calci sand is a wolf in sheeps clothing I suggest taking it out now and put in paper until you...
If hes eatin sand you risk impaction... GET IT OUT.. Id suggest if you want sand... buy some of that play sand and let him play in it making sure he doesnt eat it and try and wheen him too it so he doesnt eat it later on
Id say repticarpet or non-adhesive shelf liner is your best bet... I just picked up a few rolls of the liner at home depot for really cheap. Sand looks nice and works good if you have an avid digger but the liner is really easy to clean and maintain.
Is that glass on the top where you put the light??? The only thing that will go through glass is plain light and little heat... glass absorbs UV rays as well as fare amounts of heat... I would suggest replacing the glass with wire mesh... if you look at some of the other posts on enclosers you...
they are just as diverse as himans I would say... i couldnt recommend keepin beardies together but some get along fine... they usually are very socialable and have a total mind of their own... but they can be grumpy and snippy... they are prolly one of the more diverse and sociable pets IMO
well if yer beardie got too cold or cold enough it may try to brumate (beardie hibernation) and in this case will sleep to conserve energy and have a loss of apetite... its not too hard to force brumation so you need to monitor temperature... if his appetite doesnt change in the next couple days...
