No, they cant be friends as even if your cats are ignoring beardie now, it only takes one playful or instinctful moment to cause serious injury. Keep them seperaye and use a viv lock. Of course you can keep all your pets, but please never fall into the 'my cat wouldn't hurt him,' trap.

While best not to make a habit of it, the odd housefly should not cause a problem. Certain insects e.g. wasps, fireflies are harmful.

A nice way of introducing him outside is to put out some basking furniture/hides from the viv.

For the time being, I would make things as safe as possible for you and a least threatening to beardie. 1. Approach the viv slowly not suddenly. Never approach from above. If he charges or is aggressive, back off. Try again later. 2. Handle him at night a few minutes before lights out. He...

Enjoy your puffy pancake.

Handwarmers wrapped in a cloth should do the trick if your power goes out. You can feed greens if you run out of livefood. I'd suggest not feeding any livefood if power goes out due to needing heat and light to digest.

Vets. Would class this as ASAP 5 days ago.

The puffing/yawning behaviour hss been observed in both of my males. Although they live in seperate vivs, they both like to beard stretch in the morning at the same time. There's a murky line between yawning/stretching and gasping or gulping which could be a respiratory infection. So if your...

Sounds like a moody moment. If he's approaching subsdult age, their behaviour can be more unpredictable.

Beardies generally dislike changes to the viv. I'd suggest keeping all decor the same for a week to see if that helps.

Looking good. Its clear that you've done lots of research. :) I hope you enjoy being a beardie parent. For now, I agree completely with mounting the UVB under the mesh so that it is more effective. A piece of wood which allows a higher basking point would also be good - aim for 8 inches or so...

If constantly dark all over the body including dark stress marks then there's likely stress or feeling unwell. But if stress marks get dark while basking or while outside the viv only, its normal. One of my beardies shows faint stress marks nearly all the time, they occasionally go dark...

Beardies routinely do serious harm to each other so I would not have them out together. Patience and simple things like hand feeding should help with any bad association towards your fiance.

Watch some videos/!read up on bearded dragon respiratory infection. If he has this, you do need the vets.

I would routinely withold bugs for a few dsys at a time. A nethod which has worked for me is to put beardie on top of my superworm tub which has a clear lid. He sees some and starts tongue lunging. I then drop whatever I want him to eat, e.g. dubia roaches, greens and he usually goes for it as...

Please take them out. Scented products are not suitable. No substrate is better than potentially unsafe material.

You can get fake geass samples for free by ordering online for the cool side.

Easy way: dissolve some bee pollen in cooled, boiled water. Offer to beardie using syringe. Let the licking conmence. My guys had come to associate the syringe with medicine, but now investigate eagerly because it could be tasty bee pollen water.

It might be going to shed. Toes in shed are often swollen a bit.
