    Away for 3 Days...

    I have to stay in a hotel for 3 days due to a work thing. I'm in a new state where I dont have any friends or family who can help me out. Will my 2 beardies be okay? Of course I will add extra food in their tank that they can pick at over the course of the days. The only problem is, I dont have...

    Installing Lighting (Custom built Enclosure)

    I sent out some personal emails and messages to a few people from the "Viv Thread Only" thread, but thought I would ask here for the whole lot of you to see, to hopefully get the most help. If you built your own enclosures, I was hoping you could help me with the light fixtures. I'm building...

    Gutloading Question

    I always gutload my crickets and other feeders before feeding them to get the most nutrition out of them. I was wondering, would the crickets eat calcium and vitamin powder if I sprinkled it on their food? Wouldn't that be the best way to make them more calcium rich along with the gutloading...

    Question about Mulberry Farms

    Is the shipping included in the feeder prices? I try to view my total and it just goes into the payment page with the price of the items I order. I don't want to fill out my paypal information if at the last minute I'm going to be charged shipping fees and can't afford it. I'm trying to order...

    Anyone buy Silk Worm eggs?

    I've been looking on Mulberryfarms.com and I see that they have bulk silkworm eggs. Are these easy to raise? If so, it's much cheaper than buying the grown worms and I would like to give it a try. Has anyone else done this before? Any pointers for me on how to raise them (if I decide to buy the...

    What is a good staple worm?

    After having a close call with an impaction from feeding my 3 year old dragon superworms, I'm looking for soft bodied worms. He will not touch crickets so I need to find a decent staple worm. I will not be completely getting rid of superworms, but I would like to add more variety so I can feed...

    How do I give him Olive Oil?

    I need to help my beardie get his insides moving (he hasn't pooed in over 2 weeks; I suspect impaction). I've heard many suggestions about giving him a couple drops of olive oil. How do I do this? Do I have to pry open his mouth and orally give him some? Do I dip a superworm in it? What's the...

    Hasn't pooped in 2 weeks or more

    What can I do? My beardie hasn't pooped in 2 weeks maybe more. I give him baths everyday, his temps are around 98-102F with a cool side around 80-85F, newspaper for substrate, greens most of the week with supers every couple days dusted with calcium and vitamins. He's 3 years old (almost), I use...

    T-Rex Active UV Light and calcium?

    What type of calcium should I be using? with D3 or without D3? I seen someone post this question about using the Megay Ray bulb, and it made me wonder about these T-Rex bulbs. Thanks all.

    Putting a waterfall/fountain in the tank

    Hi, I was thinking of buying a cute little table top fountain that I seen in walmart the other night to put in my beardies tank. Would this be a good idea or would it cause more concern than anything else? His tank is fully ventilated, so I dont think the humidity level would go up much. The...

    Shedding Question

    I posted this question a while ago, only to have 1 response. I posted it last September, so it's locked for inactivity. [ Invalid URL Removed / p= t=89802 f=1 ] Anyway, just like in my other post, I've had my beardie since April 07, and he has not shed since. It's getting close to a year that...

    Good Experiences with The T-Rex all in one bulb?

    Who has seen a difference in the color, appetite, and activity of their Bearded Dragon by using the T-Rex Active UV bulb? Any bad experiences? I'm getting one of these since the Mega Ray is backordered until possibly next friday. I know I should just wait it out and get the Mega Ray when it's...

    Sneaking veggies in....

    So my 3 year old hates eating his veggies and although I put them in his tank everyday for all day long, he doesn't touch them. Sometimes he eats the fruit I put in there but I dont always put fruit on there. So I figured out a way of sneaking the veggies into him. I did try to wrap some of his...

    Looking to switch to an "all in 1" bulb (UVB/UVA/HEAT)

    I've been reading some good things about the all in one bulbs such as the powersun, megaray, etc. So I've been thinking that maybe I should switch my lighting around a bit. My current set up is 40 gallon breeder tank, 150W basking bulb, 18" Repti-GLO 10.0. The temps under the basking spot...

    I was thinking about getting one for my 40gal breeder tank but I do not really know much about them. Is it something I should consider? Please tell me the pros and cons of using one of these bulbs as well as any other information about them. Thanks in advance.

    I think I over spoiled him!

    Has anyone else out there bought your dragon(s) something new to eat, but after eating it they do not want the previous foods? I recently started using Superworms for my 3 yeard old (20 inch) beardie. Well, ever since the first time I gave them to him, he has not wanted to go back on his...

    Winter Weather is here, is this okay to use as night heat?

    I've noticed since it started snowing a couple days ago :angry5: , the temp in my bedroom (and house) is getting pretty low since we are only using a Kerosene heater and a plug in heater to heat the top level. It's getting just below 65 and my beardie gets stone cold during the night. Since his...

    Cutting heads off?

    Is it necessary to cut the superworm(s) head off before feeding? What happens if you don't cut them off? I just recently seen someone suggest cutting off the heads; I have never done this before and haven't had a problem. Have I been doing it wrong or does it not matter if they are on or off...
