Hi all, My beardie is 10 months, 18 inches and 420g. Is it ok for me to give him the occasional adult locust? Thanks

Thanks for your help :)

His weight hasn't changed at all. He doesn't eat as much as he used to when he was younger but that's natural at this age isn't it? He used to eat 20 large locusts a day, now it's 10 a day. He is doing a fair bit of glass surfing at the minute but I think that's just cause it's mating season for him

No changes at all, he just seems grumpier. He has always been incredibly timid so could it be he is finally relaxing so feels more confident in asserting himself?

Hi all, My beardie is now approximately 10 months old. Ive had him for about 6 months. He has always been very timid, never bit, never hissed. Handled frequently, usually once a day, occasionally once every other day. The past week or so we can hear him hiss when we pick him out his viv or pass...

Hi all, I've had my beardie for about 5 months now. He is approximately 9 months old. Over the past 5 months he has always been very timid but had a great appetite. Like eating 20 to 35 size 4 crickets/locusts in one sitting. Over the past few weeks he spends a great deal of time hiding...

I am having the exact same problem. As soon as I take him out he tries to get straight back in. He sometimes has a wonder round but always with a curled up tail with a black tip and striped marks on his belly. He has never hissed or bitten me. When I take him out and put him on me he jumps off...

Thanks both for the replies. His name is Yoshi. He seems to be getting a bit better. He never goes to bite and doesn't run away from being picked up. He just always wants to go straight back into his viv. I am going to try to make him feel safe and happy in the living room running around the...

Hi all, I've had my 5 month old beardie for about 10 days now. He is my first dragon and on the whole it has been a very successful 10 days. He let's me pick him up a few times a day without biting or hissing. I have handled my friends dragon for over two years so am quite confident with...

Thanks for your reply. It just says dust all live feed. Just bought more hoppers as he has eaten them all. The lady at the petshop said I should limit them to 6 to 8 a day for a 5 month year old. That seems completely against what I've read for this age. I've been told let them eat as much as...

Hi all, I am feeding my 5 month old beardie hoppers. They are between 1.5cm and 3cm each. As he is 5months he is a non stop eating machine and has had 40 today before he lost interest. I have a plastic soup mug with a lid that I add two pinches of calcium powder to (or vitamins depending on...

Hi all, Got my first beardie yesterday (4-5 months old) and noticed than he spends about 90% of the day with his eyes closed. His stripes on his belly are also very prominent but was completely invisible in the shop. I'm thinking something is upsetting him. Humidity is 35%. Hot end 115f, low...

Hi all, This maybe a very silly question but I've just had my first beardie dragon for less than an hour. He has just done a poo and it looked like it contained blood. Now he has his stress lines on his belly probably because he has just been moved into a new environment. So I am not worried...

Hi all, I am happy with the UV light, its the main light that concerns me. I have a 4x2x2 viv and a 100w bulb to heat it up. I have read that it is best to control the bulb with the thermostat probe in the cold area. This way the dragon will always have a suitably controlled cold area so he...

Thanks for your help. I bought it and it works great. However I noticed that his gives the dragon D3 through the UV. My current vitamin mixture also contains D3 and I've read that I shouldn't be giving them extra D3 in top of the UV D3. Can you confirm that I shouldn't be using vitamins with D3...
