It seems I probably won't be able to get a bearded dragon and it's all because of live feeders. I've talked to both of my parents about starting a dubia colony and the answer was no, even when I stated the facts that they don't make noise, can't climb, aren't messy, etc. She won't let me keep...

Well, today I am going to be talking to my parents about starting a dubia roach colony for the bearded dragon I'm getting soon. I've gotten quite used to them just by seeing pictures of them and watching youtube videos on colonies. About how many adult dubias will I need to start a colony for...

My mom will not let me breed crickets so crickets will only be used for feeding. I was wondering how many crickets on average does a bearded dragon consume weekly? I know it varies with every dragon but I just wanted to see how many can be consumed by members' beardies weekly so I can get an...

Hey everyone. It's been awhile since I made an update on my progress on getting a bearded dragon. After I complete summer school and get my diploma (unfortunately, I couldn't graduate with my class) I am getting my beardie. I have a lot of money saving to go because everything is going to cost...

To save a little money, I was thinking about using the Zoo Med Power Sun MVB Bulb for both heat and light. Are they safe to use now and do they provide the right amout of UV as a Reptisun 10.0 would? I'll be getting my beardie sometime in August or September and I want to make sure I have...

Hello. Does anyone know if I can use micro superworms as a staple for a juvenile bearded dragon? I know phoenix worms are better but they're a little too expensive for me, even with the coupons. Micro superworms are much cheaper and I've heard they're easier for beardies to digest.

I was on the reptiworms site and I saw their phoenix worm sizes and quantities. On average, about how long will 5,000 phoenix worms last if I have one bearded dragon?

Ok. The enclosure I am getting for my beardie already comes with an incandescent fixture. I was wondering since it only has one light fixture, should I get two bulbs for heat? Like one for day time and one for night or should I just get a ceramic heat emitter?

About a week ago, I attended a reptile show and there were custom bearded dragon cages there. There were some new custom cages that were 36"Lx20"Dx20"H. It gets better! The cages come with a fluorescent fixture and one incandescent fixture. I know a 4x2x2 is better for a beardie but space is a...

I might be getting a beardie sooner than I think and I was just wondering if anyone has ever ordered any of their reptiles supplies from petmountain? I've heard its a pretty good site but I want to hear from people who have ordered supplies from petmountain.

Hey guys. Sorry I haven't updated in a while on my progress on getting a beardie. School's been pretty hard and I can't wait until its finally over which will be in 5 weeks. I'm also in danger of not graduating which is stressing me out really badly. In other news, I still have not gotten a...

After doing a little more research on beardies, I've decided getting one would not be a good choice due to their ferocious appetites and I don't want to house crickets or roaches in my house and phoenix worms are just to expensive for me. I have a question about them. Can they be handled? I've...

There is a possibility I might come home with a bearded dragon from next weekend's reptile show. I might not be able to order its reptiworms right away though and I might not be able to crickets either considering our closest petstore is a couple of miles away. What are some foods I can feed...

Well guys, it turns out I probably won't be able to get a beardie. Its not because we can't afford to keep one or anything, its really about feeders. My mom refuses to let me start a cricket or dubia colony for any reason. I've tried to convince her many times but she just won't allow it. I was...

I am 100% terrified of Dubia Roaches. I want to start a colony because they don't make noise or smell and jump like crickets and I can save lots of money by starting a colony instead of buying phoenix worms. Could someone help me out? Like, could you guys give me some tips on how to keep them...

I've decided I am not going to use phoenix worms as a staple. They're a bit too expensive for me so instead, I am going to start a cricket colony when I get my beardie. Is a 10 gallon aquarium large enough to start a cricket colony in?

I've heard that reptiworms can be kept in a wine cooler and chilled to 50-60 degrees and they will last awhile. The problem is I don't have enough space in my room for a small wine cooler/ mini fridge nor do we have enough space in the kitchen. I've heard that reptiworms can be stored in an...

As most of you may know, I am in the process of getting a bearded dragon as my first reptile. At first, I was doubting I would be able to get one because of their appetites when they are young and the cost of phoenix worms. Luckily, my boyfriend said he is going to start giving me $100 just for...

Okay, so I have another small question about feeding. When I get my beardie, I am going to order 1,500 phoenix worms which should last about two weeks. I was only going to order reptiworms once a month but use them as the staple feeder. When I run out of phoenix worms, is it okay to use greens...

This question has been in my head all day. About how many phoenix worms can a juvenile beardie consume a day?
