I have 4-ish month old bearded dragon named Ziggy, and lately he’s been shutting his left eye while basking. I don’t notice anything else strange about him, he can see his food when he’s eating and often uses both eyes to scope out his food. He is in otherwise exceptional health, eating his...

Hi! I got a baby bearded dragon about 3 weeks ago and he is eating well now and has lots of energy. He doesn’t glass surf very much, but has pretty intense stress marks when he’s in his vivarium. His temps are just about perfect, he doesn’t seem to have an aversion to any of the decor, and he...

I’m using a temp gun digital thermometer. And okay! I’ll get some vitamins for him and just wait it out until he gets more acclimated to his new home. Any other tips?

Thanks for your suggestions! So I will cut out the baths and will only handle when necessary. The temp gradient is good in his habitat, around 109 on the basking spot and around 84 on the cool side. Do you think I should continue with eggs and baby food until he starts eating enough crickets?

Hi, I recently just purchased a baby beardie from petco (I know, I know, but he was just so beautiful). I’ve had him for a little bit over a week now and he isn’t eating much. No veggies, and only a few crickets. The most he’s had is 7 at a time, but usually only a couple, if any. We just...
