give him a nice bath and put a lil bit of soft soap in with him. not a lot that makes tons of suds. the soap will help pop any oxygen bubbles around the mites as he soaks. mites cant live under water. while hes soaking clean his whole cage. get a can of prevent a mite and spray all of his...

never said i didnt feed insects. i feed roaches, super worms, and sometimes a wax or a silk as a treat when i get a new bigger shipment of supers in if my beetles arent producing as many as my beardies need or theyre not big enough to feed off and be a good meal yet. i feed normal mix of greens...

crickets are nasty bugs. and superworms or any worms in a bedding can get grain mites if your container gets to damp/humid. i had that happen once and it sucked. i would say it was mites, but who knows what kind. i know that snake mites and lizard mites are totally different and do not affect...

i wouldnt say they were necessarily doing it for their own enjoyment. different strokes for different folks i guess. some people are older more experienced handlers and know of things back when they used to do it years ago and still up to today. i know now many are leaning from it and a lot of...

i know how people love the space between the eye trick. get 12 large crickets, its not pricey and i bet your beardie will love the more. mine once they are about 9 inches go right to the largest and i never have problems. im not saying that whoever made up the eye trick isnt right but i know...

yeah, thats what i figured as i would not see them eating many mice in the wild. if they were to eat anything like this in the wild i would say a small lizard would be a possibility. but ill stick to my roaches and supers. they like them the most anyways.

never fed a pinkie to my beardies ever, but was on another forum and someone was doing it. i would think that its not a good idea as it would be a high possibility of impaction. do any of you do it and is there any benefits to doing it. not saying that im ever gonna, just trying to figure this...

thanks. i was hoping there would be some light shed on this. it does make sense to me since shes only known the inside world so far except for the window. her cage is huge and i dont wanna carry that. i might just make an small outdoor enclosure for her. my male is a bit smaller and i just got...

you might wanna check out nutribac. its a probiotic specially designed for reptiles. it is to help restore gut flora and help an animal regain its appetite. i have never used it on one of my beardies. but i did give it to one of my buddies when i took care of him for a week for him. he was...

caly is 5 months old and pretty big. 18inches 300+g. well it is finally getting nice here in buffalo, ny. so i took her outside for the first time today. she was sitting on my hand and forearm stretched out just looking around. she has sat on a window sill with the window open on somewhat nice...

i have a citrus tiger female. and i found a super citrus male. the guy said it was a citrus and citrus bred together. i am not gonna be breeding for a long time, if i ever do. its a big job to take on. but if i ever did breed these 2 together, if i get the male, then what would the outcome...

my superworms do this to me anytime i grab them by the head between my fingers. i think its just a defense maybe for them. just urine probably, or maybe some kind of musk. not exactly sure. but yes it happens to me a lot.

well i would just put two light fixtures inside the case. one strip light fixture for a tube. and one regular one for a basking bulb. i think you may be thinking of putting your uv on top of the case and letting it shine through. but i would not suggest that. since glass and plexi both filter...

well i would say if you dont do daily cleanin then yes itd be a litter box. but she doesnt even poop in her cage now. she waits to get her bath. the only time she will is if she goes more than a day and a half with no bath. but i try to everyday. or the next morning after she eats breakfast if i...

im sorry for your loss. my caly is constantly in watch of the sky when i have her out. we live were low flying planes are all the time. actually live a block where flight 3407 went down outside of buffalo ny this year. so she watches them and thinks theyre after her. and she watches all the...

well im gonna soak it, then dry it out then bake it. but for sifting what do i use. something like a flour cullinder? or is there something else. just a fine screen or something?

do you use glass or plexi. i make my own cages an a few for friends. a couple of them thought they were saving money telling me to use plexi but i argued they wouldnt be in the long run. they still insisted on plexi. so they got it and i had to go and get glass cut for 2 of them so far to fix...

ok, just got caly's final cage done today and wanted your opinions. i feed her crix, roaches and supers out of her cage now. and i think ill continue that. and she doesnt ever poop in her cage, only in her bath she gets everyday. shes been on aspen since she was like 3 weeks old. and when i got...

im not sure if you guys have harbor freight where your at. or any kind of cheap wholesale tool store. if you do go there, they have small cameras that you can use to fit in tight spots to see places you normally cant. theyre usually not expensive either. maybe that will help you in your quest.

ok. thank you very much. i felt like i hurt her when i did it but she didnt seem bothered by it. so i was just curious.
