    Rog close to dying? Not eating?

    Hey everyone, our bearded dragon is about 1,5 years old and become extremely lethargic. First of all, he has never been a good eater - ever. We have always included tomatoes, apples, kale, lettuce in his diet with superworms and crickets. He used to rampage through those worms and eat 10 + big...

    What to feed? (non-smelling)

    I use oats and feed them carrots. Do hornworms/silkworms smell less than superworms? thanks a bunch.. Also: is it ok to keep the superworms outside in a garage as an alternative? It's not heated though and it's winter :(. :puke: I feel like a slave to my beardie right now :banghead: ...

    What to feed? (non-smelling)

    Hi, as a college kid I only have one room available. I can't feed crickets because they are too loud for my roommate. I have been feeding superworms for the past month and they are excellent but they REEK. What can I keep for Rog that won't smell or make noises like crickets? I also can't keep...

    Superworms and hornworms for juvenile?

    We're feeding our beardie Supers since a week now. We try to pick the smallest ones (we just bought 1000), but he also gets big ones. He is about six inches without the tail and he's been digesting them fine (pooped the day after he had his 4 first supers). I gotta admit though his poops are a...

    Anyone in Pennsylvania selling feeders?

    I was there and it was sweet. They had beautiful little beardies for 35$ !!! (orange, etc.) I can only recommend going there.. They even let you hold alligators, snakes, etc.

    Substrate?

    Okay but Sand is acceptable for for Adult Dragons, so can I simply use Washed Playsand or is there something that's better? I know most of you prefer tile but to me sand belongs with the dragon and I am willing to clean it out/throw out sand quite frequently.

    Is this too much UVB(don't want him to start glowing/pics in

    Hi, our Rog has been eating like crazy for a while now (started about a week ago). 2 days ago we put his UVB inside of the tank (it's more practical and not on the mesh). We are using ReptiSun 10.0, 24". He's not been sitting on the top rock anymore since then. Could you take a look and see if...

    Wild Caught Hornworms

    You don't need pesticides or chemicals to develop parasites.. Unless you have a microscope or lab you can't really tell if they have some or not. Parasites are normal in nature but the beardies aren't used to any of them since they grew up in captivity. I guess making sure to get healthy...

    Here is Rog, 4 months old. He was with 2 other beardies at Petsmart. We bought him and he was fairly happy. He ate 3 big crickets his first day, hunting them down. This a picture from when we got him. However, the next day he didn't eat anything (including the next 5 days). Finally then he...

    I am so sorry little Dukey, please forgive me

    A mistake that probably taught you a lot about animal behavior. It was a quick death for him, but sorry to hear that he is gone now! Best of luck to you mate.

    How much does a fecal cost?

    Just wondering. I got my Rog from Petsmart - he looked in good shape there and he's been eating a lot. Now he started to eat more recently put sometimes he goes without eating anything like yesterday. The viv & temps are all good, so I'm wondering if I should take him to a routine test. His poop...

    Jumping at glass?

    Hi my beardie is jumping at the glass from the top of his rock (highest point in the viv). He does this probably 1-2 times a day. Everything is setup fine and he eats well now.. I think he is seeing his reflection in the glass but there is not much I can do about it. Can he hurt himself with...
