Hi all, I'm considering getting a bearded dragon, but I'm worried about travel. I had a bearded dragon in the past and he was extremely social and free range in my house whenever I was home (which was a lot, because I work from home). When I was out of town, my roommate could let him out and...

Hi all, I've been active on this site in the past and have learned so much from the good folks here. I have a beardie who I adore, but due to major changes to my circumstances, I might have to look for a new home for him. Before I make any decisions, I'm checking in here for advice since this...

Hi everyone, this is a PSA rather than a question. I wanted to let this community know what I wish I'd known a few months ago. Since mid-May, I've spent $400 at the vet for my beardie Wallace on run-of-the-mill problems (weight loss due to loss of appetite, a scraped wrist that wasn't healing)...

Curious if folks have creative ideas of how to unload extra dubia. My colony is producing more than I need for my one adult beardie, and posts on local Craigstlist to sell off extras don't seem to be getting any bites. Anyone else come across this situation?

I have been traveling for several weeks, which leaves my spouse to care for our 16-month old beardie Wallace. I work from home so usually Wallace is out and about all day, but since I've been traveling Wallace has been glass dancing and knocking his furniture around in his terrarium and has...

I have read many threads on this site about folks camping/traveling with beardies. I'm planning a three-day, two-night trip that will involve staying in a rented house and walking/mild hiking around Lake Superior in northern MN. I would love to take my 16-month old beardie on the trip as he...

I'm curious whether anyone else has an experience with a beardie eating rocks. I take my 16-month old outdoors often, and sometimes he becomes fascinated with the rocks around him and begins licking all of them. I thought he was just licking them out of curiosity since he does that with...

Anyone else have a beardie who only wants to eat white, freshly molted roaches? Not a sustainable habit my guy is developing!

Who does diy fecals? Just took my guy to the vest for his first one and it was $55. He's supposed to have a follow-up in a month to make sure his pinworms are gone--would love to be able to do these on my own for cheaper. Any tips?

I have a 15-month old male dragon. He brumated from mid-December until early May (young, I know, but I kept him hydrated and he did not lose weight). When he came out of brumation, he weighed around 400 grams, at a little over a year old, For the past month he has lost his appetite and is now...

Wallace is 13 months old. He started brumating in mid-December when he was nine months (young, I know, but he would not be discouraged). He never went down hard, but rather will lounge in the shade on the cool side of his cage all day if permitted and does not have an appetite. If I put him to...

I have a Zoomed hood with a reflector to hold a 22" UVB bulb in my 36" long terrarium. It came with a free Reptisun T5 HO 5.0 bulb. Is this strong enough for a bearded dragon, or will I need to purchase a T5 HO 10.0? The package of the 5.0 says "good for reptiles" and the package for 10.0 says...

Wallace is a ten-month-old male beardie who has lately been experiencing partial brumation (reduced appetite, some attempts at burrowing, napping). He hasn't lost weight in the last three weeks but hasn't grown either. I wasn't worried until today I noticed what look like the empty skins of...

Wallace is a nine-month-old, 350-gram male beardie. Usually he's a big eater, friendly, active. His care and setup match all the recommendations on this site. His lights and temps haven't changed. Lately, he's been behaving strangely. It seems he might be trying to brumate, but his behaviors...

Hi all, I have a friend with a pet rabbit (a young male) and she really wants to introduce him to Wallace, my nine-month-old male beardie. Has anyone introduced a beardie and a rabbit? This is probably a silly question, but I don't have any other pets, so I wanted to run the idea by this...

Hi all, Wallace, my seven-month-old beardie, is gearing up for his first Minnesota winter! We get very very dry winters here, not only because all the moisture freezes out of the air but because the heater dries the air in the house even more. I know beardies are native to a semi-desert climate...

I have a seven-month old beardie and a small dubia colony that I feed him from. I've only had the colony since July and haven't had to clean the bottom of the breeder bin out yet. Today I tried to clean it but realized I have no idea how to separate the small babies burrowed in the fras. Any...

I have a 5.5 month-old beardie. I've had him for six weeks. From day one he was extremely tame and friendly (got him from a reputable breeder who hand raises). In fact he seemed downright fearless, never flinching or hiding, spending all his time basking, loves to go outside and loves exploring...

I just got my beardie last week. He's four months old and about 10" long. Sometimes he jumps off his basking platform, which is about 5.5" above the floor of his tank. He has a ramp and several lower platforms set up like stairs, which he usually uses to get up and down, but sometimes he just...

Unusually hot day in Minnesota today--my house doesn't have AC and I'm wondering whether I should be worried about the cool side of Wallace's terrarium hovering around 88 in the afternoon. Usually the cool side stays at 80. He's hanging out in the middle of his cage on a piece of wood where the...
