There might be many different people that will disagree with me, but in captivity you should NOT let them brumate. They do that in the wild for survival purposes and lack of food. We provide them with daily food, supplements and all the things they dont have. When they sleep for 7 weeks (😬) they...

I would suggest no loose substrate. Non adhesive self liner or a Zen Mat is best. If you plan on getting a baby/juvenile you might want to use paper towels for a little bit since they will potty alot at first.

I get what you are saying however in the wild the dig, not swim. They will pancake to get into a place and that puff out so it's harder to get them out if a predator is nearby. My almost 1 yrs old is the same exact way as your female beardie. He loves to fall asleep on me, but picking him up...

They pancake themselves to defend themselves, not puff their belly out.

You are most welcome. It was like I said at the first comment, that the blood was from coming out and it's making their vent raw. Not exactly what I said verbatim, but very similar. When my friends beardie had it happen, it looked like a small crime scene. He had even regurgitated. It was bad...

He isn't any less "valuable" because of that. People will rescue them all the time. The store more than likely had them together and they will become aggressive with each other and the toes and tails are what goes missing first. So then they will drop the price. Take care of the beardie and his...

I do believe you are fine. It might freak you out more if you see them burp. They can get gas and their beard will puff up with the gas and then they open their mouth. No sound. Yawning is so cute!

You are distracting me from giving out the right advice based on my 2 bearded dragons I have here. As I stated, the previous owner to mine had poor husbandry. Red lights were used and now he can't see but shapes and shadows. I got him and she claimed he basked, ate and went to the bathroom fine...

So what are you offering again? Heard of Dr. Thielen? Look her up. Sorry my Vet is closed for now and yes so people in the real world know exactly what they are doing. You don't need scientific journals as bearded dragons aren't meant for scientific reasons. They are becoming an increasingly...

It's called listening skills and alot of research. Knowledge is essential.

While beardies can withstand a wide variety of temperatures, here is what I always tell owners. The focal basking hot spot should be between 100 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. If your beardie is not sitting in the hot spot, gaping with its mouth open, then it probably isn't hot enough. Gaping is to...

Sorry that is completely wrong. 100 to 105 I'd for 12 months and older. Yes some dragons have to be taught to bask. My 2 yr old had to learn at a year old when I got him. 65 degrees at night...good gravy. You trying to kill a dragon. 12 months still has to be above 70 degrees at night. Obviously...

They are from the desert. They love high temps. You have to teach them to bask. At Nighy for a 7 month old it has to stay above 80 degrees F on the cool side. Please don't give wrong info.

For one, 98 to 99 degrees F is wayyyy to low of a temp for a 7 month old. Temps should be 42 to 46 C. The food will not properly digest and can give them parasites. Undigested bugs coming out can cause blood because it hurts coming out. I would call everywhere and ask them how much a fecal float...

I would still put them in the freezer in a ziplock bag and after frozen would throw them away.

This is the best route to go for the supplements. Get a probiotic powder that helps with the digestive issues. You can also try a syringe with water to make sure you get some hydration in her. I had to take my beardie to the vet because previous husbandry was bad. Her temps were off for him and...

Do you give her Calcium, Calcium w/D3, Multivitamin and Bee Pollen? Bee Pollen is a everyday use. I have a schedule of how you should give them throughout the week if you need that info. You can add me on FB under Ann Kohanow.

It also might be the change in weather coming, depending on where you live. Mine is lazier than normal. So it's like he is trying to brumate and just sleep. So I wake him up and love on him.
