    Non-insect diet

    So my friend insisted getting a bearded dragon yet decides shes NOT going to do insects. She came to me for all the other help since I own bearded dragons, but refuses to do the insect thing as I said as they freak her out. I tried explaining the NEED for them, and all the pros/cons of all the...

    At a loss with my female dragons behavior

    I'm confused at what my female dragon is trying to do for the past 1-2 months. She keeps going away from her basking spots, and hiding under the paper towels (what I have as substrate for now till I build a custom "false rock" enclosure). I did have her with a male, but took it as a possible...

    How to properly clean large enclosures?

    I know you're suppose to clean enclosure and items inside with a mixture of (1 part to 10 right?) bleach and water, and then rinse till you can't smell the bleach anymore. Well what about large enclosures? I have a 40 gallon breeder aquarium, and even though I myself can pick it up and handle...

    Blue Bottle Fly Larvae (Grubco)

    Thought I'd share my experience with Grubco and their fly larvae. They come in a clear shallow plastic container with what appeared like something similar to sawdust as packing. Upon e-mailing them they said it was food grade wheat bran that is safe if our beloved pets accidentally eat some of...

    Slow growth or just a runt?

    I have a male beardie that was hatched July 7th. I'll get an exact measurement later, but he is around 8" I'm guessing and small overall. I just got another beardie, a female, and she was hatched a little over a month later (August 15th) and is 10.5" and bigger! Do some beardies just grow at...

    Could "prepared" food be used as a staple?

    Not talking about those pellets and related products (although could those too?), but what about making your own "mash" by throwing in sufficient foods (including some type of safe protein source) in a blender and making pretty much like baby food substance for the beardies to eat? Along with...

    Why are bearded dragons food needs not given in specifc g's?

    I find it really vague with info like "let them eat as many crickets as they want in 10-15 minutes" for example and so on for food consumption of beardies. Why isn't there a guideline of say: X amount of grams of protein for a juvenile (and whatever for adult) X amount of grams of veggies...

    Can someone explain all the different "types" of beardies?

    I always thought bearded dragons were just the normal brownish tan color you see at the typical chain pet stores until I started looking around on the internet about info on them for when I went to purchase my 2 beardies. Could someone give a detailed explanation of this "breeder lingo" on the...

    New to the site and Bearded Dragons!

    Hey just thought I'd say hi! I'm Josh and I recently got back in the reptile game with two bearded dragons (I owned several reptiles as a teenager such as iguanas, geckos, anoles, turtles, and snakes). I decided to go with bearded dragons as they look so cool and seem more manageable as far as...
