Does anyone know what does this mean? Can this be harmful to my dubia colony. Little tiny nat-like bugs in the dubia bin. Thanks for any help! Jodi

Okay, it pretty much sounds like a typical problem from what I have been reading. :banghead: Other than a bite here and there, Luther has not been into eating his veges since I would say around September. This may sound wierd, but it worked for us. Consider moving the food bowl/plate. I...

Luther (AKA Woofy) will be 1 year old on Valentines Day. He semi-brumated for a couple weeks and ever since has been a wild little boy. He wants out constantly, paces back and forth, manages to knock his light which sits on the screen completely off, turns over furniture, but the most annoying...

Help!!! I'm really concerned because now my dubia colony has exploded and I have way more dubia than what we need and getting another beardie is just out of the question (my husband would kill me!) I'm thinking about cutting the temperatures down to 70 degrees so they stop mating. Does anyone...

Wasnt sure whether to post this under "feeding" or "behavior" but I think it is more of a behavioral issue: I've noticed over the last several weeks Woofy has slowed down a great deal on his salads (usually consisting of collards, mustards, endive and sprinkled celery leaves). From 6 weeks - 7...

Fourth of July weekend I received 120 mixed nymphs from the Roach Ranch and this afternoon discovered there are little baby dubias scurrying around!!! They look just like rollie-pollies (sp?) and are kind of cute. Anyway, my dragon is huge (600+ grams, 21 inches) but only 6-1/2 months old...

Luther (AKA Woofy) getting used to his leash: A little blurry, but one of my favorites of him waking up in the morning: Measurement time (the only time he will stay still enough for me to measure) measuring in at a whopping 21 inches long!!!: Weigh-in time (not to impressed with...

My local petstore - House of Tropicals gets their crickets from Louisiana (Fluker's). I'm thinking about ordering in bulk because they have the large ones available. Any opinions, feedback, positive and negative are welcome. I just like to get testimonials before placing my order of 1000...

I have noticed the last couple times Luther has had a BM his urates are rubbery and earlier today it was actually kind of hard like silly putty. There was just a little bit of a pink tinge, like it may have been hard for him to pass it. The poop itself was well formed and did not stink too bad...

How can we educate the pet store chains on proper care for bearded dragons? There is such a gap in the knowledge on this site (which I think is awesome by the way) and the misinformation given from the pet stores/hobbyists/shoddy breeders. Time and time again, vulnerable new beardie owners are...

Hi, I'm rather new at breeding Dubias. I have an 18-Qt Steri-Lite w/lid (8 x 11" screen) kept in shed - temps range between 79-95 degrees. About 5 days ago I received first batch of 100 large nymphs and have cat chow/oat in a lid for food, large water crystals in a lid. After 4 days, it...

Crickets really aren't that bad once you find a system :shock: that works well: Escapees immediately get "zapped" - a hard slap to the cricket on the surrounding ground - not too hard where you completely smash them - but hard enough to stun them into submission - too paralyzed to hop...

Is there anyone else out there addicted to this site? I don't necessarily post a lot (compared to some), but I just LOVE to read the topics and look at the bearded dragon pictures (and others too!) I take Sundays off to rest my tired eyes, but am thinking perhaps I need to cut back to every...

It seems like it is taking forever for Luther's back to shed. It went from dull, to light gray, but is not budging. He has already shed arms, legs, tail and part of his head. Is there a trick to helping them shed. His last full body shed was a month and half ago and he just busted out. I...

I'm just curious as to why our Luther has been crawling into his cave and settling in around 6:00 PM here lately. His lights go on around 6:45 AM, eats his greens between 9:00-12:00 noon, basks, has his big dinner around 1-2 PM and then another smaller meal around 3-5. He gets some exercise...

Help! I need advice on what to do! I placed cricket order last Wed. but due to holiday weekend and high demand for crickets,will not actually receive them until Thursday! I also ordered Phoenix worms but won't be getting those until Thursday too! I totally miscalculated as I'm rather new to...

I've been on this site for a couple months now and I absolutely love it!!!! I don't know what I would do without all the valuable information that eases my worries and prepares me for "what to expect" with my (I mean Colin, my son's beardie Luther) ha! ha! In all my browsing and reading, I...

I got this black wooden coffee table at Walmart for about $29. It is the perfect size and as you can see it matches the tank perfect. It is light weight but I think plenty sturdy enough to hold the tank. Just had to share this:

Does anyone know about a cricket shortage going on due to disease or something? I've heard some comments here and there and noticed a change in one of the web sites I normally order from (they no longer have their 800# showing and I can't reach anyone!). Roaches just are not an option for me...

I was holding Loui the other day and his sharp claws scratched my upper arms a little bit. I could visibly see the red marks from his tiny claws. Then about an hour later there were raised white welts and it itched like crazy. I couldnt help but scratch, then appeared little pimple like bumps...
