ZᴀRDᴏZ is a challenge--to say the least--when it comes to greens/vegetables. He hasn't eaten in 6 days--trying to starve him off his superworm habit. Dubias & salad are present, but he ignores both. So today, the weather was right; the yard is speckled with dandelion blossoms (too early for...

I would have added this to the "Week of Firsts" thread, but it's been well over a month, and I'm thinking this most recent bevy of changes may :dontknow: be more/specifically related to transitioning from Juvenile*to Sub-Adult* (Beardie "Teenager" :laughing6: ). After a growth spurt (avg...

I found two other threads relating to BD nicknames; both are locked & over seven years old. :dontknow: ZaRDoZ keeps racking them up at--it looks like--about 2 per month. In no particular order... Leetle Feller (When he was one. He's getting BIGger :lol: ) Mr. Lizard (Parody of Mr. Wizard...

Is anybody painting their dragons GREEN? :blob8: (That's a joke, son--a JOKE! DON'T paint your dragon--it P's em Off!) :mrgreen:

The following went out last evening @ 8:57 EDT to every veterinarian in the US. The veterinarian who shared it with me is not sure how it will affect individual practices...

In the months I've been reading this forum, I don't recall anyone (else) mentioning having a paper-trained dragon. I'm not referring to those that have paper towel substrates (though that's one way to begin) or those that defecate while bathing/soaking (which, when you think about it, is kinda...

Just grab your dragon and dunk his head in the can of calcium--easy-peazy! :D

This morning around 8:30, I switched ZaRDoZ back to his old bowl, as he was leaving too many uneaten bugz in the new bowl. Then I came into my office to read/post here and do some other computer work. I just (12:50) went back to check on him and get his lunch when I discovered I had left the...

I'm 99.44% sure I know the answer to this, but DW asks if anyone has ever used some kind of habitrail-like tunnel system for a beardie? After I composed myself ( :laughhard: ), I explained that while BDs are fossorial, they are not (AFAIK) big tunnelers. Besides, what would one do if a BD got...

This past week (or so) must be some kind of developmental passage threshold! :dontknow: At 20 weeks (5 months), ZaRDoZ has exhibited a number of behaviors he's never demonstrated before. IOW, This week is/was the first time he's... Pooped on top of his Basking Tower (the accompanying...

As it turns out, this is moot now, but if it helps anyone, great. :) Z has been regular as a clock since I got him early Nov. (except twice when I fasted him to "incentivize" him to eat some greens :roll: ) This week, for the first time ever (I've got a list of the past week's "firsts" for...

I've noticed product reviews often happen in an ad hoc manner when someone asks about a particular product or site. I'm talking about products sold on Amazon, Chewy, Pet*, etc. How's about a Products & Services Reviews forum where folks could post reviews/impressions of stuff they've gotten, or...

Just got one of these from Chewy.com $2.39 (Same price on Amazon) Made in China. Also comes in pink and green (pink is more expensive :? ) I'll leave it to the reader to check the links for Description/Details. IMO, Worth this price (though at least one other site is charging ~$10.52; 20%...

Here it is... Left (Right side of face): Upper lip & nostril Right (Left side of face): Corner of mouth & nostril Didn't notice it before, because he does have some white markings along his lips and face between mouth and eyes--both sides. My first thought was a bath & soft toothbrush...

Somehow I've got some tiny, tiny, tiny flying invaders in Z's enclosure. So tiny you could probably fit 10 or more on the head of a pin. Not sure where they came from--possibly potting soil(?) They're so tiny, ZaRDoZ ignores them--too small to waste energy hunting/eating them. When I had a...

The prevailing wisdom--as I understand it--is not to feed a BD anything larger than the space between their eyes, lest it not go down their gullet and they choke. This has not been my personal experience, so how valid is it, or is it just one of those things like, "Never eat anything larger...

I see questions coming up from time to time (quite often, actually) about growth charts--generally from folks what want to know how their beardie is doing in relation to others. The caveat of course is that BDs (like humans and other animals) are individuals, and have different genetics and...

My new shipment of dubias came in a couple days early, and I still have about 100 of the last order left--same roaches, same size, same vendor. Is there any problem/danger in dumping the leftovers in with the new stock?

Tail curled upright... Good? Bad? Indifferent?

Putting in an order for 500 supers along w/ reg order of dubias. They want to know SM or LG (supers). Anyone have a guess as to the difference? (in inches, I spoze) Yes, the best route would be call/email the vendor, but we're trying to get the order in asap (today's Sun, and tomorrow's a...
