If you’re having trouble getting him to eat his greens and you haven’t tried any of these before they may be worth a go since some of these seem to be popular with dragons and some I’ve had success with when it comes to my younger dragon who’s picky about his greens. Bok choy and Pak choy cut...

Spike continues to do well, the weather has been good lately so he’s been having some time outside and enjoying the sunshine and soaking in his paddling pool. Still loving his dandelion flowers. I was clearing shed scales out of the little crevice where his surgical incision was two days ago and...

Oh I can tell you they have their opinions on clothing. I live with family my mother has one specific shirt my eldest HATES. If he sees it he head bobs and acts like he wants to fight it. He does the same with my fathers shoes (crocs 😂). I’ve also noticed a similar thing in wild water dragons...

Definitely. Both my dragons actually bathroom trained themselves because they figured out that I give them outside time on the grass most days and going out there is better than going inside so it wasn’t even a month before they were both waiting until they’re outside to go and I find they both...

Posting a question here out of curiosity. I have two rescue dragons and the younger one who’s estimated to be about 5 and a half years old now does this a lot. To begin with he wouldn’t eat greens at all but he now eats them fine (although he’s picky about what he likes) but I’ve noticed some...

Found a dandelion in the yard this afternoon for spike and took a video since I figured someone may be interested in seeing what feeding him is like with his vision issues. I try to find that sweet spot where he can see the food item and that gets his attention which is why I’m moving the flower...

Yeah this product is great for that. They seemed to be packed with a little bit of something moist that I’m wondering whether it’s a bit of peanut oil because it does have a peanut sort of smell. The pack of the packs also has a chart that shows you the percentages of each nutrient in the insect...

They’re moist so not dried. I’ll see if I can find a link to the product as it may be easier to see the product rather than try and decipher any explanation I can give 😂. I’ve never fed my dragons dried insects as I feel the fresher the better. This product is specifically marketed as something...

Spike is still going well and is steadily gaining back weight he lost. I’m also finding a few more food items he doesn’t have any difficulty chewing up and swallowing so he can happily eat dandelion flowers and the local pet supply store recently bought out a new insect product which is little...

Forum wont let me upload directly but heres a dropbox link to the file: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h4t288wfhnoak8qw3eup1/Guide-To-Bearded-Dragons-As-Pets.pdf?rlkey=27trdphn6eg4ciexbim3p8c3b&dl=0

Oh yeah I agree. I think most of the issue stems from the concept that they’re a good ‘beginner’ reptile so people see that and think they won’t have to do too much with them and also paired with the whole stereotype of reptiles being non-interactive and something you can just put in a tank and...

Just found this short video my cousin took the day Spike and Puff were rescued. She collected them both for me since she lived closer to where they were rescued from while I travelled to meet up back at her place. Glad she took this video as it’s a good reference to their initial condition...

@xp29 He’d definitely love a hug. Despite all he’s been through he hasn’t let that stop him from being affectionate, gentle and loving attention. Doesn’t matter is you’re someone he knows or not as far as he’s concerned a hug is a hug no matter who’s giving it. That’s actually a big reason why...

@Drache613 Just thought to ask do you have some info about the grape seed extract in this context for bearded dragons? Since you’re recommending it I’d assume it’s safe but I would definitely rather double check as I do vaguely recall coming across a couple sources a while ago that mentioned...

So unfortunately as far as I’m aware CBD oil likely isn’t an option where I am because here in Australia that kinda stuff is still illegal but hopefully that’ll chance in the future. I’ll definitely look into the grape seed oil though. I do plan to use this thread as an ongoing update ‘journal’...
