    enrichment ideas?

    So my beardies favorite form of enrichment is looking out the window but sometimes I have 12 hr work shifts so I can't let him out to explore as much as I'd like. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for cage enrichment for when I'm gone?

    Enclosure feedback

    Hello, I have a 1.5 year old male beardie and he's always been a lazy boy who refuses to eat much salad so I wanted to get some feedback on my viv to see if anyone had any suggestions to see if there may be something bothering him or to make him more active. It's a 4x2x2 zen with an Arcadia...

    black beard after vet

    So I took my beardie to the vet today for a wellness exam and bloodwork and he was fine. I think maybe he was a little overstimulated though, when I brought him back home he was fine for a while then suddenly while basking he started gaping and blackbearding and freaking out. I put him in his...

    More hiding?

    My 1 year old beardie has been spending more time hiding lately, in the morning he'll go straight to his hide and falls asleep early. I plop him back in his basking spot and he'll stay there for a while normally. Besides that he's eating and pooping normally. He should be done bruminating at...

    Do Beardies bruminate longer up north?

    My 1.5 year old beardie has been semi bruminating since November and I thought he was starting to come out of it but he's gone back to going to bed at noon again. I live up north so the sun still sets pretty early this time of year so I was wondering if anyone else had beardies that bruminate...

    Not pooping as much?

    I’m pretty sure my 1 year old beardie is semi bruminating right now he’s lazier than usual just basking in one spot all day and falling asleep earlier. He’s still eating his bugs but is not big on his salad. He’s been having some trouble with undigested poops and having fewer poops. He used to...

    Need help identifying fecal

    so I did a fecal float on my beardies stool since I treated him for coccidia about a month ago and he's still having some red/hard urates although the rest of his poop is well formed.

    General questions

    Hi I just have a few quick questions I was hoping to get some advice on 1. My beardie is about to turn 1 and I know they don't stop fully growing until 1.5 so I'm assuming I should continue feeding him feeders 2x a day dusted with Ca 5x/week and multivitamin 2x/week until he's 1.5? Just want to...

    Quick lighting question

    During the daytime I've been using a t5 HO reptisun 12 in from the basking spot and a 75watt zoo med basking bulb. I'm having to dim the 75 watt basking bulb a lot to get the right temps so I'm worried the tank isn't bright enough. I've never tried just using a regular household bulb/flood light...
