    He ate a small and a large cricket at his last feeding tonight. He did not like to spend much time in the feeding bin. He did eat each time he went in, and basked in between feedings. I heard back from the vet already. I will have to ask if she wants to see him or just have a sample. I...

    Thank you, and I do appreciate the advice. I am just trying to sort through the overload of infor.ation, so.e of which is at times conflicting.

    Thanks. Another person says I was irresponsible not taking him to the vet when I got him, your saying irresponsible taking him to the vet so soon. 🤷 I picked up this book: The author suggests a vet visit early on to check for parasites before it is too late. It sounds like a good idea even if...

    He is extremely active this morning, going back and forth exploring his enclosure. I put him in the feeding bin but all he wanted to do was escape the bin, he had no interest in eating. I am using 3 small mealworms in his salad bowl to try and entice him. I hope that I do not end up with...

    Boulder CO. He did have a guarantee. We went back today and they had a beardy that was a few inches larger. This one seems much more active. It ate two meal worms in the parking lot at the store. I let him soak in some water and he took a few drinks. At home I put him in the feeding box and he...

    My wife took him outside in a feeding container to get some fresh sun. He moved around for a bit then finally gave out and passed away. We checked our receipt to prepare to try and return him, and found that we were never even billed for him. We are going to go to the specialty store in boulder...

    A single 100W ceramic heater could not maintain temp setting last night so I ordered a second one. I aleo ordered the bee pollen and the strawberry bannana calcium powder. Temp was set to 73F all night and I saw it drop as low as 66F at one point.

    Hi folks. I am the proud new owner of a baby bearded dragon. I have been learning quite a bit over the past few days. I am nervous because our baby is not eating much. She is quite small, here she is in a feeding bin next to a quarter. She ate one cricket and a bite of some flukers juvenile...
