Ye I feed my insects, I've only just got Silkworms for the first time but I couldn't find anywhere as they only eat mulberry. I'll check online. But I won't get them often, I've already fed 4 out the 6 so only got 2 left and £4.50 for 6 I won't be buying them often.

Ye I'm not keeping them as pets, they're food for my BD. I don't think anywhere near me sells mulberry feed or anything.

Not sure what that is. They're just in plastic containers with a cardboard thing inside.

I'm from the UK. My local reptile shop which is literally so good and has everything, knows a lot and has a huge collection of reptiles including snakes, water dragons etc. However, they've recently got Silkworms in, they said they do did quickly. Just wondering how to keep them alive more than...

Thank you very much!

Thank you! Yes she is spoilt with the best things, LED light for full spectrum lighting as they say! Thanks for the kind words.

So without going into too much detail, my BD I bought her at 5.5 years old, ops etc etc but I think the previous owner kept her viv on the floor but it was a smaller viv and when I got her I upgraded to 4-2-2 and it's been on the floor for 2 years almost. However, recently I decided to get a...

Ye the LED isn't for anything other than full lighting which apparently having that LED improves behaviour and makes them more active but tbh the LED doesn't make a massive difference on lighting. Ye I've set the temp to 19 which makes it come on when it gets to 18.5 but I have 3 different...

Just wondering what people's opinions are on running costs, ways to cut down on them? My BD has a 100w ceramic heater for night time which is now set to 21 I think. She has a 150w basking lamp which obvs can't be changed and UV 39w which obvs can't be changed. I have an LED light in there as...

Just attaching a photo I just took this second for reference on what she looks like.

Hi All Quick history. Got my BD at 5.5 years old, previous owner she weighed 385g roughly... Within a month I noticed a lump, she got spayed and waited any longer she have died according to the vet, lump still there so 2 months later another op. Ops were July 2021 and September 21. She now...

Yep, just sent two photos, one is nearly the hot end just ofcentre from basking spot and other is far end for cold end as well so all total I have 3 sensors for temps/humidity. Ye, poo gets cleaned pretty much as soon as she does it, unless I'm at work then clean when I get home. I also have a...

Hi. Yes I have just bought it from my local shop. PS- I know some will say remove substrate, however as long as the conditions and diet is good then substrate is ok to use. She doesn't eat it or anything and this substrate isn't dusty and it's recommended but I respect others opinions.

I've sent blood tests off, got to wait now for the results. The vet said she has gained weight, she is happy with the diet I have her on etc and she had a good feel around her belly and wasn't concerned about anything. She also said she seen some video regarding LED lighting, on top of the UVB...

Yeah that's a confusing part. I have seen some people say it's for adult bearded dragons and have counted that and said it's not then been removed from groups for it. However thank you advice and help. I am going to look at maybe getting a blood test for her as well and speak to the vet and see...

Yeah I always give her the vegetables or whatever you want to call a salad everyday I give her a decent amount. It does confuse me how some people say to feed a bearded dragon as many insects they can eat in 15 minutes because from my exper ience I'm not seeming to feed her hardly anything and...

Ok so say I start her insects on a Monday. It would be Monday to xl hoppers and then Wednesday 1 large dubia roach and then Friday 2XL hoppers and then Sunday two xl hoppers and maybe one fruit grub worm as a treat just once that week?

Hi Tracie I don't think they did no as the tests were expensive and I paid for everything as didn't have insurance to cover her and they also wouldn't of covered anyway. I can't remember my first routine but for over a year it's been 3 insects so (2XL hoppers and a large Dubia roach) every 2...

Yes, when I say that she has gained weight I mean when I first got her she weighed 380 g and over the course of a few months I was feeding her say maybe four insects every day or every other day. And within a period of 4 months she gained 200 g. So I had a feeling the previous owner hardly fed...

My BD I got her when she was 5.5, she used to come out and poo etc etc but then after her operations she found going into the cooler part of her Viv where there is a cave and she like sits on it and it helps her poo from time to time so now 99% of the time she goes in that corner, even sometimes...
