Hello! So I'm moving into a new apartment. The one I'm looking at is a little tight in square feet so I was wondering if it's at all feasible to get a taller enclosure but skinnier. Currently I have a vision cage which is about 36 x 24 x 28. Is there any way this would make sense to do? Would...

Im having the same exact issue and just came to post about it.. Weird. My Beardie's stools are softer but not diahrrea-like. The thing is.. Multiple worms are coming out whole. This has happened for the last three times or so. He's doing a poor job chewing I'm sure as when I put them in his...

Hmm i cant see any shed.. Not sure.. Should i replace the uvb tube with something else then or just ditch it alltogether? And alright, i was wondering about d3 usage. I see many mixed opinions so i always have a tough time deciding. Ill switch that up. The cage is 4'x38"x38", and there is a...

Hello. Recently, my Beardie came out of brumation. Besides him being a bit wrinkly and having to give him hornworms and showers to rehydrate him, he's been doing fine. However, today he seems like his foot is bothering him. I know it can be a sign of MBD so ill put all that info at the bottom...

Looked to be fully intact. No harm done then? Ugh that's a relief.. Any ideas to bug proof his cage? I don't even understand how it got in as all the holes are tiny..

I'm not sure about this so others made need to inform me, but.. Is it possible he is in brumation? The temps are a little off but if you get those on track and he's still acting funny, I think it's possible he's brumating as well. Others should correct me if I'm totally wrong

Hello.. As you know, fall and winter are the time for ladybugs in the Midwest. Apparently one found its way into my Beardie's vision cage as I found it in his stool. How toxic are ladybugs? His stool was watery but I gave him cactus pad the same day so I don't know what's from what. He acts...

Okay thank you so much! His beard/neck is shedding.. That's probably it. I appreciate the help!

Hello, my Beardie has recently had some strange behavior. He does not act sick, but I believe he possibly could be. What happens is he bulges up his beard and throat in rapid succession, and after he does this he opens his mouth very wide. There is no black beard or displaying, it happens for...

It works super well :)

Thank you! I just thought it might be nice for him to get some natural uvb every now and then. I may just try to make an enclosure or get a viv to take outside that I can put him in for a bit to let him get used to it. Thanks a ton!

Have you ever had the problem with trying to spot clean a bearded dragon when they are dirty? It can be tricky. Natural soaps that you can actually use on your bearded dragon are hard to come by, and scrubbing them is not easy either as they never tend to stay calm. But, recently I have found a...

Hello! I have a 2 and a half year old Beardie, love him to death. I have some questions however. Firstly, if I wake him up to feed him he puffs up at me (early in the day). I try not to wake him up because of that unless absolutely necessary, which is very rare. Secondly, and more importantly in...

Sounds good, will do. Yes he will eat veggies very well actually. I will give him a bath as well. However he doesn't drink if I give him a water bowl, he is more responsive to moving water I've noticed. He won't drink from the bath unless its flowing so I usually try to stir it around with my...

Sounds good. Does he look very skinny or is he doing pretty well? i'll order some silkworms and hornworms.
