Breed Dubia which is the best decision I think a BD owner could make. Save a ton of money, they are such easy care, and require very little attention. Occasionally buy crickets and silk/waxworms

Atleast it doesn't hurt when touched... but id go get it checked out to be sure its not something u think isn't serious and could turn out to be

Alright so my BD is about to be 1.5 yrs old , about 12inches ... Has been brumating for. Ever. ( Hasn't wanted to eat in MONTHS) I was trying to feed it some Zoo Med Dragon Pellets with calcium powder but it won't accept them. What are good foods to get it started eating again? Preferably...

CHARLIES BACK FROM THE DEAAD WOO WHOO. :blob5: Cats have 9 lives they say, If those flea bags get 9...beardies should atleaaastt get 12...

Store wen't well, I now have a new 24' UVB Zoomed 10.0 Reptisun bulb working, and a 75watt Basking Bulb...Fed her a couple dubias since I did notice a slight change in activity...She seems to be active when I take her half log sleepin hut out of the tank otherwise she'll find it and sleep in the...

Yesterday I got her a new zoo-med 75watt basking bulb which read about 100* on my therm but today when I put directly under and left it under I guess it got too hot and Fried because now that therm doesnt even work...I did manage to pick up the only therm I saw with a probe but it just looks...

Basking/Heating bulb is colored (red) and I want to say 75watts. Had a different bulb but it fried one day once again since she doesn't come out much I didn't see it as something that must get replaced right away. UVB is less than a foot from her basking spot and hits her directly, I have no top...

I take her temps with a digital kept in the viv but no probe, around 85* usually. Yes I do massage her sides and keep her in warm water for about 20 minutes for her bath but she's not a fan. Hasn't pooped in a while... I wish i could say two weeks but I don't even remember it being that recent...

"Besides, little bitty beardies don't brumate; they usually start at a few years old" Umm, Mine started brumation at a couple months old... she's still doin it and its been goin on since november-ish , Im Trying on getting her to STOP. I have a post up about it as of today (Brumation Period)...

That could probably be it... I haven't changed her UVB (Reptisun 10.0 32'' in a 20gallon long) since she started brumated i figured id wait till she became more active again to change it... She does bask for a little while after eating but then sleeps. Im gonna have to give that a shot first i...

Hey, So I was wondering, being that I've had my beardie since August. But She hit brumation around October/November and has yet to become active again? Is this unusual? I mean how many months do they go without activity/ regular eating? I take her out every couple of days for a bath to...

Well thanks for the replies so I know im not talking to air...As for those of you that did post your BD's ages thats smart, its not that I find brumation odd, just that mine is so young and I was told not to expect it until its NEXT winter. Its obviously that time of year since were all...

Ok so before changing climate from sunnier south jersey to miserable n gloomy RI, Lyx was very active and very hungry for a good majority of the time usually consuming anywhere from 20-40 crickets in a sitting twice a day. As of lately, I've noticed alot of changes in behavior and activity that...

Still only about 12" and half of that is the tail so... I think im gonna have to find some wax worms till I can order more dubia and jumpstart my colony somemore...I think another hundred, maybe couple hundred would do the job. I tested out how it would react to crickets vs dubia today..Dropped...

Jason did you mean to say that superworms shouldnt hurt her at 5 months? Shes still under 16" but yeah Id like to give her something other than crickets. Early on she got a check up and was given a broad spectrum medicine to make sure she didn't have worms but I am workin on finding a vet up...

Well I thought about reading this seeing as how mine is also on an unusual eating strike since it was relocated to my Apt. in RI ... Lyx used to eat 40+ decent sized crickets a day and now its down to maybe 4-8 PER DAY. Still Very active during the morning and afternoons but does sleep early , I...

After first getting my bd, I really had no idea what to name "it", I say "it" because since i had her from such a young age it was impossible to tell what the sex was and didnt want to name it one gender specific name and having "it" turn out to be the other. So I waited. Enjoying time out of...

Ok so I've left my roaches alone for a while because I read that handling can stress out the dubias and cause them to just push out their ootheca prematurely but it still keeps happening. Every so often I just find a dried or drying up abandoned ootheca. :banghead: What else can cause them to...

So your telling me... No heat...No food for the worms...and they thrive? :shock: Whats the catch? :? ...

This is interesting, no heat source needed? I just began my Dubia Colony :whip: but I may aswell go ahead and get something else started for a variety & superworms what would you guys suggest? where can I get started?
