    How to get my beardies to eat their greens?

    We are having the same problem here right now....she eats Phoenix Worms every other day and once in awhile will devour some pumpkin, but the greens that she ate like crazy about a month ago she wants nothing to do with. When starting on greens, we tried EVERY kind imaginable and found she would...

    Can I feed him nightcrawlers?

    I think I know what the concensus will be, but I figure I might as well ask. We have thousands or crawlers in our yard, I don't spray for anything. Is it safe and/or healthy to feed Mikko nightcrawlers? I catch them for fishing. I have NOT fed him any yet, but thought I'd ask. Our crickets...

    Why are my crickets dying????

    We have the large cricket keeper and ordered 200 crickets. We received them on Thursday, April 24, and now on April 30th, they are all dead!!! We had a large number dead Saturday, cleaned out the dead ones, put the live ones back in, now they're dead this morning. Using Fluker's Orange Cubes...

    Behavior outside?

    I just took our BD outside for the first time since we got him a week ago. It's 75-80 F out, no wind. I took him out and set him on the sidewalk. He sat there for a bit, then freaked out when I got near him with a fresh dandelion (we don't spray them, ever), puffed out, black beard, hissed a...

    Why is Mikko not eating?

    A week ago we acquired a 15 month old male BD from someone who couldn't give him the time he needs. He came with his tank setup, a 50 gallon terrarium with habitat. The first couple days he ate some greens and a few crickets. He hasn't eaten greens in days (romaine lettuce) and our crickets...

    Head bobbing and black beard?

    He's only puffed out once in the week we've had him - that we've seen anyway. Daytime basking came today, so I put the CHE back in for him. He seems to be a bit more active with the red light gone, plus he looks better. He hasn't pooped in several days - hoping for a BM soon! I spent several...

    Head bobbing and black beard?

    The reason we have the red light in is that the CHE that he came with doesn't seem to be putting out enough heat - 90 degrees F maximum in his basking area, but his basking light broke on the transport and the most we had was a 75w bulb. There are new lights that should be arriving today, 150w...

    New to bearded dragons

    We just purchased a 15 month old beardie, Mikko, from a Craigslist ad with full 50 gallon tank setup - habitat, lighting, etc. from a young mother whose husband was just returning from Iraq and she couldn't give him the attention he needs. He's healthy, eating okay, only pooped twice this week...

    Maggots for my beardie?

    We're new to having a bearded dragon. We have Mikkon, a 15 month old male, in a 50 gallon terrarium. I'm wondering if it's okay to feed Mikko maggots that I bred myself with fresh fish flesh and local flies. He loves them, I'm just not so sure about the nutritional content of the maggots...

    Head bobbing and black beard?

    We're new owners of a 15 month old male beardie. He's hanging out under his red basking light and just went through a series of head-bobbing and puffing his beard out, and it got black. I know they do these things, but I don't know what they mean. He's the only animal in the tank, seems to be...
