    Difference in Male and Female growth rates?

    Oh, I'm sorry, totally my bad. I've never heard of those. Another thing I need to research. :study:

    I feel horrible

    Just keeping you updated. He is doing great. Every morning he eats his veggies (not all gone but I give him a lot) and then some crickets and I do this again when I get back from school. He appears happy and active and always wants out of his cage which I do for about a half hour while I'm doing...

    I feel horrible

    What if I gave him 5 crickets in the morning and 5 when I got home? his day hours are from 6-8:30 So I would feed him greens first and then crickets at 6:20 and 3:20. Would this be fine?

    Difference in Male and Female growth rates?

    Just so you know, don't mist the cage. Bearded Dragons are to live in dry humidity (15-20% if not less I believe). If you want it to stay hydrated you can give it a bath and it's body has vents that will soak up some water. Another way is to get a water droplet and drop water on the tip of his...

    Difference in Male and Female growth rates?

    Here's a site with a growth charts http://www.dachiu.com/care/charts.html (male and female) just look at the average. You said it was about 2 months old, so according to the chart it should be about 7.4 inches. So your beardie may be a little behind, but it's fine, as long as it's healthy...

    I feel horrible

    I know i need to start slow, but you said to add the amount eventually. What should be the maximum amount that I should get to? 10 crickets and 5 sups MAX a day? Right now I will start with 5 crickets and 3 sups a day.

    I feel horrible

    Thank you guys so much for your responses and support, I really appreciate it. So I could do 8 a day and after a month 16 everyday maximum until 50 crickets for that week are gone? and along with that I'll give him 3-5 superworms about an hour after he eats crickets mixed with salad (unless...

    I feel horrible

    Oh, and I don't think he needs "critical care" He is perky since I've been taking care of him and looks alright. It's not like I completely abandoned him. a couple weeks I fed him 5 days strait if that makes anything any better and I've fed him good before these six months and really want to...

    I feel horrible

    I wasn't planning on giving him a ton of superworms, just a few a day like you said. But with crickets, how many should i let him eat at a time. Like I said, I'm planning on giving him a salad every morning and then every saturday I was planning on letting him eat as many crickets as he...

    I feel horrible

    The past half of a year I haven't been taking care of my bearded dragon like I used to and just haven't been into it. I'm not sure what I was thinking I think I just didn't really care anymore. I've been debating whether I should keep him or not and I said dangit I'm doing to keep him and I'm...

    He ate a cactus...

    He has pooped twice since I posted this and the last one I still saw some root/dirt and spikes but he is still acting normal. the cactus had spikes like you touch it and ouch, that kind, So I don't think it would be a staple.

    Impaction questions

    Once they get older they don't poop as regularly as when they were young. My beardie will poop about every 2-4 days. If you are worried about impaction or anything you can give them a bath with a temperature slightly above lukewarm to encourage pooping. Double check your basking temperatures...

    He ate a cactus...

    Rocky ate a cactus about a week ago and I didn't think to post it on here until now. I have been giving him a bath everyday and he has pooped twice. So I think he may be ok. So I had this cactus which was very small but it still had kinda sharp spikes on it. My mom places the pot with the...

    can i take my beardie outside if its 60 degrees?

    Yeah, you can take him out, you just shouldn't take him out for very long. Like 5 minutes. I take Rocky out for like 15 minutes when it's 85, but if it's only 70 I'll only take him out for like 5-10 minutes. Just make sure you don't take him out right after he eats. Let him digest his food for...

    Not eating =/

    How long has this been going on? I can't really offer any suggestions since everything seems set up perfectly, he should be eating... They do sometimes skip a day of eating but usually not more than one... Bearded dragons do burmate but your beardie is only 4 months old as you said which is too...

    Eating locusts but not veggies

    You could feed him the locusts every other day to try and get him to eat his veggies. I honestly think they are like humans where if they are kind of hungry but not really they won't eat greens because they don't taste very good but will eat things like crickets. So if he is truly hungry he will...

    A question about veggies

    Peel it. It may be hard for bearded dragons to digest it plus it's hard to cut that kind of stuff into small pieces with the skin in tact. So yeah, you should peel it.
