Thanks - will keep trying to convince my wife that Dubias will be ok. The crickets do stink and escape a bit - I'll tell her about the benefits of Dubias over crickets. Hoping he'll go for those. I'll keep pushing the BSFL until I can try some Dubias. What about Horn Worms? Are those better...

Norbert is 7-8mo old and in the last 1mo refuses to eat crickets anymore. Up until then, he would eat 20-30/day. He used to eat tons of BSFL, but will only eat a few of those now each day. I've tried different worms recently just to see and he will eat 7-8 wax worms a day, but I've read that...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions - I made them and our little guy is doing great - eating tons and growing so fast! A couple of questions if anyone has any advice: 1- when do most baby beardies start eating greens, etc? Our little guy won't touch anything other than crickets and worms so...

Thanks - will do. We live in the desert and its been in the 80's with very sunny days recently, so I'll do that until I can get the proper lighting for him!

Update: Good news is that our little beardie has been eating much better the last 4-5 days - eating 8-10 medium Phoenix worms and 20-30 small crickets each day now. He even tried a bit of greens. Bad news is that the light fixture and new bulb arrived from LLL today, but doesn't work. I even...

When I ordered the light fixture through LLL, it says it comes with a 22" bulb that fits it, so I didn't order an extra one. Thanks for making sure and for all the help so far!

Yes - I ordered through LLL. Says should ship in 5 business days. I've got the heat light in one corner of the tank with a perching structure with multiple levels on it just below that so hopefully he has a variety of temperatures to choose from. Any tips for getting him to drink? I put him...

Thanks again! I went to Petco and Petsmart here in Reno, but neither of them has the 24" T5 bulb or light fixture, so I'm going to order them online. Once that arrives, I will replace the UVB bulb in the double fixture and I got another 100W and 50W bulbs to put in the second spot depending on...

Thanks for the help! I'm going to go to a couple of pet stores in town to see if I can find the UVB lamp and bulb you recommended. Should I keep the double dome with the 100w bulb still in it for heat or get rid of that set-up altogether? Is the UVB lamp/bulb for both heat and UVB or do you...

We are totally new to bearded dragons. We got a baby bearded dragon 1 week ago. I measured him at 4" long, so I'm estimating (from charts I found online) that he's between 1-2mo old. He was smaller than the other 2 babies in the tank with him at the pet store, which may be a bad sign, but he...
