Hey, thanks so much for responding. Yes, that was a lot of beardies for the tank, although it was a 60 gallon. Well it's good to know that 2 months may not be his actual age. The manager of the store said the breeder refused to sell the clutch until they were of thirty days of age, but maybe...

Thank you, I will try to get the temp up.

So I bought a baby red phase bearded dragon on Friday from my local pet shop. He's active, alert, he's been pooping, and yes, his stool is normal. I fed him yesterday, and I'd say he eat about 15-20 small crickets. I tried to feed him later, but he didn't want to eat. Today I fed him, and he eat...

Thanks for the info guys! I'm actually only planning on breeding one male and one female together, probably sometime june or july of next year, possibly a few months earlier. We have two metal racks right now, would that be enough for two 40 gallons and the babies? Thanks again for the help!

just wondering how breeders house their adult dragons since im sure there are a lot of them required for breeding and are they all living in 40 gallon tanks?

are you feeding them mulberry leaves? that may be the cause as they can only eat mulberry leaves. you can usually order them offline if you cant find a nearby tree with the leaves

im sorry i didnt mean superworms i meant silkworms. sorry for the typo

Also, i have no idea if this could be the cause, but i was in my basement the other day with my beardie, and i saw an escapee cricket crawling across the floor. i set her down to eat it, but she just refused. i then picked the cricket up and dustes it with calcium powder, set down in front of...

I believe silkworms are the worms with the most benefits out there. They can be fed as a staple I've heard (although I'd still stick to crickets at least partially, and of course your veggies). Here's a link to a great beardie website that lists all the information you'll need when it comes to...

Are we talking mealworms, superworms, waxworms? Normally crickets are what is considered the staple as far as insects go. As an adult, your dragon should be eating more veggies then insects, but when it comes to the insect part, gutloaded crickets are really the way to go. Also, I feed my dragon...

Alright, so I have had a change of heart, and have decided to go with babies instead. Now, how do I know which will be big enough to breed, or is this just a gamble? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I understand, but its not even the time as much. i dont want to go through the process of growing the babies to adults, and then breeding them. there are many reputable breeders out there, and i will look at my local herp expos to find one with some young healthy adults.

thanks for the advice, but im still gonna try looking for some adults. I wont have as much time once the summers over, so im gonna try breeding during the warmer months.

I'm glad you've came to a conclusion that works for you and your dragon. Just remember, any female four or over is probably too old to breed. Since dragon meopause occurs about halfway through their life, and they live for 8-12 years, then it's best to breed a younger dragon, otherwise their can...

My family has done our research and our now ready for the responsibility that comes with breeding dragons! I was just wondering if people who know the reptile market better then me could answer a question. We are interested in a pair, and I wanted to know if this was the time of year wear you...

Denduran87 is right, but she is at an acceptable age. To avoid stress, simply keep her in the cage with the male only enough so that they can mate several times. If he does get overexcited, you should separate them, and if she does get a few cuts or sores, which she probably will, just use a...

Hey, anybody not too busy to respond?

Thanks RioReptiles! I will be sure to get the female before the male. I'm assuming from what you wrote breeders sell the females for more then the males. So you're looking at breeding the females around 18 months, right? Also, for the few days the dragons are kept together for mating, would you...

Hey guys, thanks for both the responses. I have decided against breeding the female I have now and will instead discuss with my family the option of buying a pair. And to RioReptiles, just so you know, I have been researching for three weeks now, will continue to, and obviously don't have the...

Alright, thank you!
