My Gus is the same age as Yoshi and does pretty much all of those things. He will rarely eat from his bowl and prefers to be hand fed and eats around 100 BSFL a day. He sleeps in his cave at night where there is a bed inside, but only after my wife or I place him inside the cave. We also upgrade...

I know that everyone in the dragon world raves about how hornworms are a favorite treat for beardies, but in the 3 months I’ve had my dragon Gus he’s never once shown any interest in eating them. He’ll eat dubias and BSFL and if I give him a Superworm he goes crazy trying to get it. Is there any...

His foot does appear to be a bit swollen. If the hammock is of the green small holed varieties that could well be the culprit. Bearded dragon often get their toes caught in those and while trying to jump or move they sprain their foot. Or it’s possible he jumped off something and landed the...

This isn’t as much tail rot as it is a tail injury. That part of the tail you could put betadine on to keep it from getting infected but it’s more than likely going to fall off eventually or need to be taken off. The fact that there is blood (even a little) is a good sign as that means the...

That is completely fair. Often times the dragons at big stores like those aren’t kept in the best conditions and are sold too young. I hope he gets better. Keep us updated if you hear anything back from the store. Ragnar is looking great though and hopefully isn’t giving you any health problems

Ragnar is a beautiful dragon! Mine is just under 4 months and is a similar size. He kind of looks the same too. I’d keep a spreadsheet or note of some sort to track his weight and length growth from week to week. As long they they are moving in an upward trend you’re doing good. It’s also...

His weight seems fine as my dragon is right around 4 months old and a very similar size. I agree with Karrie though in that you should be making sure he’s getting proper UVB and a T8 would need to be nosed the tank. A T5 you would probably be able to keep on top of the screen depending on how...

That’s probably a good idea to look into a deeper or longer tank rather than a higher one. I just want him to have a good amount of space. He does currently have a T5 10.0 that’s 36in and is mounted inside but with a much higher tank he’d have to climb a lot more to get into it’s effective...

I was wondering if anyone on here has any experience with a tank this size (4x2x4)? I currently have my dragon in a 120 gallon Zen habitats enclosure and I like to spoil him so I’m contemplating upgrading to the bigger tank. I have a few questions though when it comes to a tank this large...

Just a quick update on Gus. He’s doing much better. Saturday and Sunday he ate over 15 roaches each and began to go back to eating some of his salad. Yesterday he ate around 40 dubias and some superworms and today he ate almost 60 dubias. He’s not coughing at all anymore and seems to be back to...
