Hi, Larry is roughly 5-6 months old now. Has never really liked being handled since I got him at 6-7 weeks old. Now he seems to be even more stroppy. Is he going through a teenager thing ? He does the whole back off stuff like puffing out his beard, hissing & opening his mouth. He has bite me a...

Hi, I have a 5 month old BD Larry. I am comfortable with housing & lighting now. I have been told that they do fight! I was gonna use T-Rex for vitamins and Nutrabol for calcium? The son is giving me their viv & I have a good breeder who sells 2nd hand vivs so no trouble there. I would have...

I think they are the same age, not 100% sure thou. They are currently still with my friend. I am hoping to get them in the next 2 weeks. Am I right that they need to be seperated, even thou have never been apart since babies? What would you suggest with suppliments? Can my help even after a...

Hi, My friend at work's son has 2 BD'd roughly a year old that he is trying to re-home. The son has not looked after them very well & he wants them to go to a better home. He tells me that they both live in the same viv, have never had any UVB & the son has on occasion (not sure how many...

Hi, He has eaten bout 10 small crickets today. He must have been hungry cos 4 went within the 1st 20 seconds. He seems to be better & has stopped shedding. I get worried bcos he has never eaten as much as I am being told he should (50-100 crickets per day). He is still so nervous of me, even...

Thx janie. I am so worried it is me doing something wrong. I have just checked my temps again & am wondering if this has anything to do with it ?? He basks bout 6 inches from the UVB & the basking spot is bout 100-110f. The cool side is bout 82f & the ambient temp ranges from 80-84f. Do these...

Hi there. I have offered him veggies every other day dusted with vitamins/calcium, but he does not eat it. I only handle him at bath time & do check him over b4 hand to make sure he is not impacted. I can't feel any lumps. He did start to shed a fews days after bringing him home & still seems to...

Morning all. I've had Larry for the last 4 weeks. He's roughly 8 inches long from nose to tail & about 3-4 months old. He has never really eaten huge amounts since I got him. He was being feed huge locusts by the breeder which I have down-sized since finding this site. He would only eat about...

Hi, This site has been to helpful to me since getting my baby BD Larrry 2 weeks ago. I have yet another question to ask :? He is not really eating much. I have been feeding him small crickets & locusts and veggie every day (even thou he is not really interested in his greens) lol He...

Thx for the advice Patsy, it really helped :D Just thought I'd update you on Larry's 1st bath :lol: I have 2 cricket keepers, 1 currently in use. I put luke warm water in the spare 1 so it would be up to his elbow. He hissed like mad and lunged for me a couple of times, but he knew he was...

Thx for the advice. The trouble is I can't pick him up !! He runs away and hisses !! Do you think it is wise for me to try it 2mora by doing it in his viv with a towel underneath a bowl of warm water ?? Minnie

Hi, I've had my baby for 2 weeks now. He is still hissing at me when I go near him and so as not to stress him out anymore than necessary have been spraying him with warm water every other day. Is this enough until he settles down a bit more ?? Minnie

Hi, I was gonna use newspaper but, was not sure bout the ink. I managed to get a role of 100% re-cycled wrapping paper to use. I recently had my baby on paper towels but crickets kept hiding underneath. So that it does not happen anymore, have put masking tape round the edges, is this gonna be...
