    Hello all, I just took in a new beardie a couple of weeks ago. He was turned over to the pet store I work for as the people who had him did not want to take care of him any longer. Unfortunately I was not there when they brought him in so I know very little about his previous life and what...

    correct feeding for previously malnourished baby

    Unfortunately there are not any great herp vets in my area that I am aware of. My vet ( I run a ferret rescue) does exotics including beardies and she had some suggestions, but was not positive what would be the best. She could see pros and cons with both. She was amazed at how well he healed...

    can you correct problems too quickly?

    Thanks for the reply Brandon, easy enough to bump the temp, it was a little warmer I think, I raised the bulb a bit higher from his basking spot when I was afraid he was too hot.

    can you correct problems too quickly?

    Can you overcorrect problems on a beardie too quickly? I just rescued a 2 yr old beardie. He has been housed and taken care of very badly. No UV for at least part of his life, then a mini compact fluorescent bulb "sometimes", a red heat bulb, mealworms, pelleted food and crickets occasionally...

    Which veggies/fruits need to be peeled?

    Strawberry seeds are toxic???? I have not heard that and it does not say anything about them being toxic on the beautiful dragons nutrition page? They are listed there as ok to feed occasionally, nothing about seeds being an issue. Has anyone else heard of this? My guy loves them and I have...

    hornworms & silkworms

    I was wanting to offer some more variety for my beardie Hot Shot. He is 13" so far and eating wonderfully. With hornworms and silk worms do I need to worry about their size/space between the eyes, or since they are soft bodied are they ok. I don't see where I get a size choice with these the...
