6 days ago Chicken started refusing crickets & BSFL. He is eating his salads in full daily & will take treat worms. Dubia roaches are illegal here & silk worms are hard to come by. I was able to get my hands on a few silks this week and he ate 5 yesterday and 5 today no problem. But still...

So our little guy turned 4 months old a few days ago & is up to 150g & 14 inches long ! Before we got him we made a rock wall out and finally just put it in now that he’s too big to scale the top of it .. but he’s still climbing !! Is this a problem ? He can get up and down fine but I’m...

Chicken is now just about 4 months old. He is doing great ! So active & bright , shedding fine & frequent. I’m wondering if he is eating too much? We are feeding him twice a day for 15 minutes at a time. A mix of Crickets & BSFL with treat wax worms once every other week and occasional...

**this is not my beardy*** So this week a friend of a friend of a friend contacted me saying they’ve taken in a 2 year old bearded dragon from someone who (clearly!!) wasn’t taking care of her. This person was told about my previous experience with rehabbing Nugget & asked for advice in...

Im wondering if this mix is okay to ADD to my beardies diet? I know store bought food is usually advised against I just saw this and the ingredients looked okay to me? I of course am still feeding mainly bugs as he’s still young. I just thought this may be a way to get him more interested in his...

My Beardy is 9 weeks old . He last finished shedding a little over a week ago when we first got him. Today we noticed him scratching his face a lot so I figured he’s ready for another but then tonight we noticed him almost cough ? My adult Beardy used to stretch his belly and beard during shed...

This week has been very humid where I live and it’s been really challenging to deal with ? (for both Chicken & my Pac-Man frog Rootbeer? lol) .. Chicken’s 40 gallon breeder is finally fume free so I am going to move him to that today. It’s screen is not as tight so hopefully that coupled with...

I’m bringing home this little guy tomorrow. He is 7 weeks . My only experience is with an adult Beardy who had special needs so just looking for any & all advice on the differences with taking care of babies & what to expect as he grows Meet my new son Chicken !

I am bringing home my baby Beardy tomorrow ! He is coming earlier than expected & we have been trying to make a DIY rock wall for him. I’m not confident that it will be dry enough to let him in it by the time he arrives. I have an empty 30inch long tank I can put him in for a few days while it...

How often should I bathe a baby ? I am getting an 8 week old dragon this weekend. We plan to leave him adjust in his tank for a week before we handle him. Should he then he bathed once a week? Or more or less when shedding ? My only experience is with an adult Beardy who had special needs so...

I am bringing home my baby 8 week old Beardy this weekend. The breeder said he is currently eating between 10-30 crickets a day Will this amount increase as he gets older until it is time to switch to a majority greens diet ? I’ve only ever raised an adult dragon so I want to be sure he gets...

Hi there ! My name is Kayla & I live in eastern Canada. I was fortunate to find this forum last year & it really helped me give the best quality of life I could to my little rescue Nugget. Because he needed so much care I skipped the introduction step & went straight to beardie ER where I met...

I have been dealing with a sick bd since February. He initially had an infection on his lip, after the rough go on an antibiotic he developed gout. 3 times this week he passed only Urate with no poop. He did pass small amounts of poop in between with Urate attached. His last poop was 4 days...

Hi There ! I’m currently battling what seems to be a multitude of infections with my little guy Nugget ☹️☹️.. while we’re treating him, I’m trying to figure out what conditions may have contributed to this outcome. Any and all tips, suggestions & thoughts welcome !! (Biggest concern is UVB)...

Nugget is on his second day of Baytril due to mouth rot. The vet injected the first dose yesterday and then advised me to squirt the following doses in his mouth or inject a worm just before feeding. Yesterday he seemed to perk up quite a bit after the vet , today he’s pretty dark and won’t even...

*** before I get into the full story I do have a Vet apt for tomorrow afternoon. However this vet has given out wrong information before (dragons can hydrate through their vent, advised to use red bulbs) so I’m a little weary and want to go to the appointment fully prepared with as much info as...
