    Brumation question

    So Ozzi, my beardie, is just over a year old (maybe 13 months?) and I’m pretty sure he’s in brumation. He stays in his hide underneath the newspaper I use and just... sleeps (it weirds me out because he’s my first beardie). When I check on him he wakes up and when I take him out he eventually is...

    Snowed in

    Thank you guys! A little update tho... We're supposed to get up to 36 inches in the next day and it's showing no sign of stopping. I'm now worried about a power outage. Kinda freaking out; how should I keep Ozzi warm/basking? I'm sure there's an answer. I'll try to do my research but any other...

    Snowed in

    Alright I'm in a bit of a dilemma and decided to consult the professionals. So we're 100% out of crickets. It snowed a half foot and the roads are icy and my parents won't drive me anywhere because of the conditions. The only place with crickets I know of is 20 minutes away, and with all the ice...

    Sudden darkness in beard

    The coloring went away thankfully and I'm chalking it up to a bird or bat, or Ozzi's reflection because yes, I have a glass tank. The door I have is a weird one that you need to pull hard enough to hear a click to know it is properly closed and I do that every time I leave. The cats weren't in...

    Sudden darkness in beard

    He just turned 6 months old. I live on the Northern side of the equator. I don't know what he was doing; I was downstairs. When I came back he was on top of his hide in the middle of his tank. We do have three cats, but the door was shut for 100% sure. The window was also open a little bit, but...

    Sudden darkness in beard

    I left Ozzi alone for an hour and in that time their beard went from slightly gray but mostly white to almost pitch black (just around the bottom of the beard and their neck). Ozzi did go into a partial shed a few days ago... could that be it? He doesn't seem aggressive otherwise, and the rest...

    Confuzzlement w/ maybe brumation

    I actually ended up turning all the lights off at night, evening out the timing, replacing one of my bulbs, and getting a tank heater for the warm side of the tank. He's now almost too active and always wants food :roll: . He never sleeps under the blanket anymore but I keep it in there because...

    I'm not sure what to do...

    Yes, actually. Thanks for asking. He doesn't normally appreciate my handling but whenever I do hold him I give him a cricket. He bit me again a few days ago but it was while I was feeding him so I don't think it was an aggressive gesture. He's sometimes okay sitting on my arm by my elbow or on...

    Confuzzlement w/ maybe brumation

    Alrighty... My beardie is abooout... 4 months old? Maybe? Possibly more, possibly less. Anyways, they're starting to freak me out (I know, newbie bearded dragon owner, probably nothing). He sleeps literally ALL the time. I'll wake him up for food and water but soon after he'll hide under a small...

    I'm not sure what to do...

    Sorry for the late response; I've had a lot on my plate recently. Thank you for responding. Pretty much, I'm going to give him a few more months regardless of what I decide, but as I said I have a long list of things I need to figure out and this dilemma kept pushing its way to the top and so I...

    I'm not sure what to do...

    Hey everyone... I have a little problem, and I'm not sure how to address it. My beardie, Ozzi, is awesome and I love them so so much. But recently he's been a little snappy... He hasn't bitten me, but he flinches when I open the tank or put water/greens in and runs away if I try to move close to...

    Prefers greens to crickets?

    Okay I wrote this long annoying explanation with questions etc then somehow I deleted it and so now I'm going to be laconic. (also apologies that's a vocab word that's stuck in my head and I can't think rn) Question one: Should I be concerned that my beardie (around 11 weeks) likes greens more...

    Spider -I mean beardie- man

    Yeah I think he's getting more used to me picking him up and holding him, although I normally bribe him onto my hand while he's in the tank with a cricket or mustard greens (he'll do ANYTHING for mustard greens, it's really weird)

    Spider -I mean beardie- man

    Today I was using my lightbox to trace a piece of artwork for school and I heard a THUMP from Ozzi's tank. I glanced up, expecting him to be hanging out on his rock or running around. But I couldn't see him. Hmmmmmmmmmmm... I walked over and looked around. In the hide? Nope. Camouflaged on his...

    And now the crickets live outside.

    Oh geez that'd be a nightmare. My mom hardly likes the crickets in the sun room, and roaches escaping into the house? She'd probably move out lol

    Running around?

    Well I'm not sure what gender he (that's my default) is because he's too young, so it's probably not eggs. And he won't let me come near unless my hand is laying on the floor and he needs to run over it to get to the other side of the tank. He just started shedding (literally his entire body...

    Running around?

    My beardie, Ozzi, has suddenly started running back and forth and back and forth between the two shortest sides of his tank. Then he stands up on two legs and puts his other two on the glass and looks out, and repeat. What in the world is he doing? I'm probably overreacting but he's kinda...

    keeping cats off the top of the cage

    I have three cats as well, but only one of them — Savvy — really cares enough to jump up. And she has jumped on top a LOT (I am actually amazed the screen has held for so long because she is not a small cat) I can't really let her in my room without me in there too. At night when I want any of...
