So we got our beardie in February when he was a baby. It's been 3 months, and he's really eating the lettuce I am leaving out, like clearing out the entire feeding bin all of a sudden. I'm wondering how you know when you need to reduce protein daily? I'd love to reduce, it's an expensive venture...

Thanks, I have mine set up in a glass tank with egg crates that span to the top of the tank. I'm planning on replacing that with paper towel and toilet paper rolls over time for my own piece of mind. It's sitting on top of a cooling rack with a small zoo med warming pad on the bottom of the egg...

I got my dubia breeder kit today, and I'm just not sure how to safely heat them in a plastic bin without setting my house on fire. I'd love to see your set up(s) so that I can make this a successful investment! Thank you! Maggie Proud Owner of Captain Happy Sparklepants

A friend told me to feed my juvie beardie soft tofu in a pinch. I'm in a pinch, I ran out of dubia roaches! I gave it to him last night and he devoured it. I then went to beautifuldragons.com today and it looks like it's not recommended. What's the current weigh in on tofu? Gotta give my baby...

I certainly don't mean to scare you but we had a baby beardie who had a mark just like that, it turned out to be CAN-V (otherwise known as yellow fungus). I would take him to the vet to be sure.

Hey there, So this is totally our fault, but we were fostering puppies last week and our juvenile beardie Happy (probably 5 months old or so) was neglected in terms of handling. He was well fed, hydrated, UVB and heat lamp treated, however he wasn't handled. So tonight my son picked him up and...

Tonja I'd love to see what Emily looks like now, so that we can have a sense of what Happy will look like!

I'm so neurotic about that horrible disease that Happy has all new things. I can't bear to risk it! We believe Fred had CANV or YFD. Pathology will be back in 2 weeks.

We lost our first baby beardie today, but not before we picked up this guy to help us transition our first baby beardie to his immortal coil. So I wanted to introduce Captain Happy Sparklepants, the most beautiful bearded dragon we've ever seen!

I just want to thank everyone for their thoughts. Captain Fred Sparklepants took a drastic turn for the worse today and he crossed the rainbow bridge with the help of our wonderful vet this afternoon. My son is devastated, but we had the blessing of spending the morning picking up a new baby...

Thanks guys. I'm so glad you think I caught it early. I've been reading everyone's posts on the topic and it seems like this is a type of "cancer" that just recurs for their life. His arm is sooooo much better since they opened up the construction. Worlds better. He is definitely stress...

You may remember I posted a photo of Captain Fred Sparklepants' arm just 24 hours after we got him from the local store. His arm injury healed, however the swelling never got better. This morning it was yellow and swollen, he was spotty (black spots on tummy) and very cranky. And his tail was...

Your response is so sweet, thank you. We only had him home for an hour before we noticed the swelling/cut. So I am not sure which came first. We gave him a little soak in warm water with a cotton ball and put neosporin on it. And you are right, we would never want to exchange him. So calling...

Hi there, totally new to the forum and to Bearded Dragon ownership. Our baby Beardie (Captain Fred Sparklepants, thank you 10 year old son for the name), was purchased today. We noticed when we got home that he has a swollen arm and an injury at his elbow. I am planning on calling the pet...
