Happy update! Poppy only had a few bugs this morning but did eat more than she has been. She also ate great tonight! She was excited and ran over to the glass while I was getting the dubias ready. She then ate at least 10-12 roaches. Hopefully we're moving in the right direction and she'll...

Thanks all! That makes me feel a little better. We have tried calciworms which she has eaten a few when offered. I'm thinking about ordering phoenix worms, but I have a TON of dubias. Lol And Karrie we have a 24" deep tank. I tried the 150w by itself and let it get warmed up, but the basking...

Oh good it worked. So we have a T5 HO in the tube. The double dome has a 150w basking bulb and a 75w because our tank is too deep and the 150 wasnt getting the basking area hot enough. Now it's around 105-110. I have a temp gun and a probe thermometer. The cool side is consistently 79-80. She...

Ok. Bare with me cuz I'm new to posting pictures.

Hey everyone, Our baby Poppy has been with us for 2 weeks now and we're still having problems with her eating dubia roaches. So I was curious what types of schedules other people have used with a baby beardie? I have read to feed them feeders 2-3 times daily, but also read a baby should eat 5-6...

Not sure about all greens, but we bought turnip greens a week ago. I cut them down into pieces and have been storing it in an air tight container in the fridge. It has been holding up well so far. I'm still a newbie to all this, but that has been working for us. Good luck! Sam

That's good to know. This container of dubias were a little on the bigger side for "smalls" but she still only eats a few. I'll watch and see as she adjusts over the next few weeks. Thanks! :)

So we've had our baby girl Poppy for about a week now. She wasn't super interested in the calciworms so I went to dubia roaches. She seems much more motivated to eat them initially, but after only a few she's done. It says they should eat 30-60 a day. We do 2 feedings a day and I'm lucky if I...

Hi! Thanks for the welcome! Our girl is Poppy (my son loves the movie Trolls lol). She is adorable and I just love her already. It's just all so new and I'm getting used to it. I'm very thankful for all the helpful advice from others on here! :)

Oh good. Thanks! Sam

Hey all! During the day when the lights are on the humidity in our tank is around 30-35 which is fine. At night though it goes up a little. We don't use a CHE because the temp stays in the 70s. Should I be concerned that humidity is in the 40s at night? Is there anything I should/can do?

Thanks all! It's a relief to know I'm not the only one that goes through the learning curve. I bought some dubia roaches today which I told myself at the beginning there was no way I was bringing roaches into my house. Our girl loved them though and gobbled them right up. She was starting to...
