    A better way to keep crickets?

    Ok, hands down, crix are the absolute worst feeder... in terms of stench and cleanliness... the best way to keep them though, is in a very well ventilated rubbermaid container. they do just fine at room temperature, but if you decide to keep them outside make sure it doesnt get too terribly...

    Dubias and dog/cat food

    it is very likely that the babies are hiding in the droppings. however dubia DO eat their babies if they are not fed and watered properly. you dont have to worry about them not being able to eat the food, they can, but they will also eat the poop. but if their isnt as many babies as youd like...

    Bearded babies won't eat.

    temperatures on thw warm side should be in the mid 90's with a basking spot that reaches bwtween 110 to 115 degrees F. the cold side should be in the low to mid eighties. your beardies are very very young, so they do not need to be separated unless they are bullying one another. Being that your...

    sand

    Alright... YES, sand CAN cause impaction in dragons of all ages... ESPECIALLY young dragons. How often do you hear of peoples dragons dying from impaction? Not very often at all, however the risk is still definately there. If you truly believe that your dragon is not ingesting any sand and that...

    water fall or water fountain ?

    But dragons are much different than humans. We can only live three days without a direct water source. Dragons can live their entire lives on water they recieve only from their food

    water fall or water fountain ?

    No. dargons do not NEED a water source. they get water from the food they eat (provided that you feed fresh veggies, and live feeders). In the wild they hardly are ever near a water source, they recieve all their water from their food and dew from the mornings. Just make sure hes eating enough...

    water fall or water fountain ?

    if it really does only hold "A" cup of water, then absolutely. But a 55 gallon tank is relatively small (in my opinion). i have a huge 4.5 by 2.5 by 2 foot cage for my full grown adult. Just keep an eye on the humidity, most sites recommend the highest humidity be around 40%. Keep an eye on him...

    water fall or water fountain ?

    the humidity issue really depends on how large the fountain is and which side of the enclosure you have it on (hot or cool). Im also guessing this is a relatively large enclosure. Most websites suggest having water available for dragons at all times and that it be large enough for him to soak. I...

    Veggie problem

    My bearded dragon will not eat his vegetables. I've tried shoving them in his mouth when he's gaping or when he's eating his bugs but he's still not eating them he won't even take them from my hand. But he happily accepts worms and bugs. All of his temperatures are correct. Today I haven't fed...

    Non-Tocix Sealant for Fake Rocks

    Alright, there is alot of controversy over toxic sealant. But the truth is, the dragon will only be poisoned If he swallows it, and that can only be done when it is in it's liquid form. But of course it dries. I am positive that you're Dagon will be fine. However, many people will probably argue...

    what about using roaches as a staple but not breeding

    Bearded dragons eat a ton! Rocahes tend to run higher tHan crickets and dependng on the type of roaches(blaptica dubia usually) can run over three times as much. If you don't plan on breeding then I recommend buying crickets. But roaches are extremely easy to breed, much easier than crix IMO. I...

    Feeders for a future BD - where to start?

    I highly recommend roaches, they're very easy to breed, they have a higher meat to shell ratio and have little to no odor. I recommend lobster roaches because they're cheap and they breed fastest; however they can scale ANY surface so a slick barrier such as 2-3 inches of vaselin at the top the...
