First off, you need to separate them asap. This link can explain it the best. viewtopic.php?f=6&t=154908 Next, mealworms are not recommended due to a big risk of impaction. Beautifuldragons.com has great info on feeding. It is normal for babies to ignore their salad but keep offering it...

I have heard that the medications are very harsh on them and there are different meds for different infections so I wouldn't. Maybe someone with more experience will chime in. I took a stool sample for a fecal after purchasing my baby and plan to take another one this fall around the time...

Your basking temp is a little low. They should be around 105-110. What are you measuring your temps with? Are you bathing him at all? How big are the crickets?

I vote everyone ignores this fools posts from now on. We are just feeding his sick narcissistic personality.

I'm wondering about your basking spot temp. The range 90-109 is too large. What is the temp of the surface right where he basks? You should use the probe and leave it there for 45 min to get an accurate reading. Or use a temp gun. The dial wall thermometers are very unaccurate.

Incorrect husbandry can cause Beardies not to want to eat. Here are the things he needs to grow and thrive. 1-get a 40 gallon tank. This is the minimum size most members will recommend here. You can't get a proper temp gradient in a 10 gallon. 2- UVB : Repti-sun 10.0 flourescent tube. Yes, the...

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=154908 Here is a link to the topic on bearded dragon cohabitation. It is NOT a good idea. I hope if they are still housed together, you will get them separated ASAP.

I may have missed it, but do you still have them housed together?

You should let him eat as much live food as he wants in 10-15 min 3 x a day. Babies diet should be 80% protein / 20% veggies. At 8 weeks my baby was eating 65-70 crickets a day and many people's Beardies on this site eat even more! I bet he will eat more once you get the lighting issues corrected.

Its really hard to get the temps right with a proper temp gradient in a 20g tank. The minimum size you will need as an adult is a 40 g. 90 is a little high for the cool side. Its sounds like he could be too hot. Too hot =dehydration. Dehydration will quickly lead to a very sick baby. Are you...

When was the last time he actually pooped?

I think you should check out some of the care sheets. There is a link on the top of the page. You don't need heat or light at night unless your house temp gets below 65. You are not feeding near enough crickets. Bump up the basking to 105 and do a lot more research on this site. With a little...

I have 500 dubia coming today and my breeding pairs are being shipped Monday! I have my totes all ready to go. I'm so excited, nervous, and disgusted all at the same time! I'm so tired of buying crickets, I finally decided I have to try this. My husband is going to CRNA school this Fall so I...

If your house temps don't fall below 65 at night, you don't need a CHE. I live in AL and we run our air on 69-70 (we like it cold in here!) And our house never gets below 65.

That's OK. Maybe he is just relaxing, maybe you petting his back feels good. Just gently slide your fingers under him from the side. He's little so its not too hard to make sure all 4 limbs are supported. Wrap him in a towel and relax back in a chair. Put him wrapped up on your belly. Then just...
