    Difference in Male and Female growth rates?

    Oh, I'm sorry, totally my bad. I've never heard of those. Another thing I need to research. :study:

    I feel horrible

    Just keeping you updated. He is doing great. Every morning he eats his veggies (not all gone but I give him a lot) and then some crickets and I do this again when I get back from school. He appears happy and active and always wants out of his cage which I do for about a half hour while I'm doing...

    I feel horrible

    What if I gave him 5 crickets in the morning and 5 when I got home? his day hours are from 6-8:30 So I would feed him greens first and then crickets at 6:20 and 3:20. Would this be fine?

    Difference in Male and Female growth rates?

    Just so you know, don't mist the cage. Bearded Dragons are to live in dry humidity (15-20% if not less I believe). If you want it to stay hydrated you can give it a bath and it's body has vents that will soak up some water. Another way is to get a water droplet and drop water on the tip of his...

    Difference in Male and Female growth rates?

    Here's a site with a growth charts http://www.dachiu.com/care/charts.html (male and female) just look at the average. You said it was about 2 months old, so according to the chart it should be about 7.4 inches. So your beardie may be a little behind, but it's fine, as long as it's healthy...

    I feel horrible

    I know i need to start slow, but you said to add the amount eventually. What should be the maximum amount that I should get to? 10 crickets and 5 sups MAX a day? Right now I will start with 5 crickets and 3 sups a day.

    I feel horrible

    Thank you guys so much for your responses and support, I really appreciate it. So I could do 8 a day and after a month 16 everyday maximum until 50 crickets for that week are gone? and along with that I'll give him 3-5 superworms about an hour after he eats crickets mixed with salad (unless...

    Is it ok to let him eat like 50 crickets in one sitting once a week?

    I feel horrible

    Oh, and I don't think he needs "critical care" He is perky since I've been taking care of him and looks alright. It's not like I completely abandoned him. a couple weeks I fed him 5 days strait if that makes anything any better and I've fed him good before these six months and really want to...

    I feel horrible

    I wasn't planning on giving him a ton of superworms, just a few a day like you said. But with crickets, how many should i let him eat at a time. Like I said, I'm planning on giving him a salad every morning and then every saturday I was planning on letting him eat as many crickets as he...

    I feel horrible

    The past half of a year I haven't been taking care of my bearded dragon like I used to and just haven't been into it. I'm not sure what I was thinking I think I just didn't really care anymore. I've been debating whether I should keep him or not and I said dangit I'm doing to keep him and I'm...

    He ate a cactus...

    He has pooped twice since I posted this and the last one I still saw some root/dirt and spikes but he is still acting normal. the cactus had spikes like you touch it and ouch, that kind, So I don't think it would be a staple.

    Impaction questions

    Once they get older they don't poop as regularly as when they were young. My beardie will poop about every 2-4 days. If you are worried about impaction or anything you can give them a bath with a temperature slightly above lukewarm to encourage pooping. Double check your basking temperatures...

    He ate a cactus...

    Rocky ate a cactus about a week ago and I didn't think to post it on here until now. I have been giving him a bath everyday and he has pooped twice. So I think he may be ok. So I had this cactus which was very small but it still had kinda sharp spikes on it. My mom places the pot with the...
