Hmm, that's very interesting. The poster does make some good points. Now it's gotten me curious. Perhaps I'll have to contact them and ask for more specifics. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, it's probably best to get a replacement bulb soon. You just might have to get one online. And from my own research (I try to get the best deal from the most reliable source too), I think Pet Mountain is the cheapest price at the moment. Maybe you can get one online for now, and then stock...

Where do you usually order them from? The lowest I've seen them online is at Pet Mountain (http://www.petmountain.com/product/reptile-fluorescent-bulbs/11442-504983/zoo-med-reptisun-10-0-uvb-bulb.html), but it's usually around 20-25 dollars (they're on sale right now for about $20, if that's any...

Oh, okay. If you come across it again, it'd be interesting to read it. If not, then no worries. Always good to see what other people think. Unfortunately, reptiles are still considered some of the more unconventional pets, and not as much is known about them and how to care for them when...

No problem. Just find a nice, safe balance of dusting. Overdusting can be just as dangerous as not dusting enough. If you're using a Reptisun 10.0 UVB tube type bulb, if you ever need to supplement with calcium, you should generally use the one with D3. That is, if you need to supplement with...

No problem. If anything, it's always good to get other people's opinion about something. I think you'll find that the general consensus around this site is that meal worms aren't something you want your bearded dragon eating on a regular basis, if at all. If you and your fiancee are looking into...

I agree with jessicaLuck there. Ordering online isn't very difficult, and there is always the alternative of buying crickets or another staple from your local store if you happen to miss an order. You just need to get a good schedule down and figure out how much your bearded dragon can go...

If there are no smaller options, just make sure your temperatures (particularly the basking temperature) are up to par. Warm baths will encourage bowel movements, and are just in general good ways to keep your bearded dragon hydrated. As for the defecating, it depends on the specific bearded...

You will not have to dust the black soldier fly larvae with any of the calcium. If you do a mix of black soldier fly larvae and crickets during the week, just base it on the idea that it's typically recommended (opinions on dusting may vary) to dust with calcium five feedings a week, and on...

Good to hear! I'm glad Rocky enjoys them. And if the refrigerator works for you, that's awesome. Like most of us have said, most refrigerator's temperatures are too low; but if your refrigerator's (or a part of your refrigerator) temperatures work fine, then by all means. Cheers! :]

Thanks Mediabandit, that's what I was thinking, but I just wanted to clarify. jmitch, please let us know if you meant differently, but if this is the case, and you really cannot dismantle the UVB source, then from what I understand, a bearded dragon can go without a UVB source for a while (a...

That is so awesome. :] My bearded dragon has just started getting into swimming. Unfortunately, no swimming pool, so he's been doing really short laps in a large Tupperware tub, ha ha...

It has happened where bearded dragons have eaten bees and wasps, and there was no harm done. That, of course, is in terms of eating and digesting them (not considering the potential to sting, or any pesticides or parasites they may carry). Not recommended of course, but no apparent harm done if...

It's not recommended that they go without UVB lighting; however, they can go for a few days without it (the most notable cases where going without UVB lighting is recommended is only in cases where an owner has gotten the wrong kind of UVB light, and the wrong UVB light would cause more harm...

Common speculation is that head bobbing is a sign of showing off dominance. Both males and females can head bob, and both males and females can do hand waves (which is speculated to be a sign of showing submission). It's pretty cute when the do either of these to you, isn't it? :]
