    Eating mostly greens

    Dear all, My BD Deano, who about one month ago was treated for internal parasites, eats about 80% greens after the treatment. He hardly eats any feeders around 5-10 crickets/supers per day. He's around 10-11 months old. Do you think the treatment caused him to like his greens more? He NEVER ate...

    Lighting, heating-behaviour??

    Deall all, Deano my BD has always been lazy and laying under the basking light 90% of the time so a few days ago I installed a light bulb (low energy) on his cool side as I read that sometime with the cool side being more dark they will not go there.

    Head low...?

    Dear all, ~My BD Deano has been acting rather strange in the last two days. He lays under his basking spot with his head flat on his rock or when he is in the cooler area its the same behaviour. He also seems to move with his belly on the ground. I can't think of anything that has changed...

    Nutrobal

    Dear all, I would like to highlight an issue I've encountered. It seems to me most people in the UK are advised to supplement their Bearded dragons diet with Nutrobal. Does anyone have any information on using this supplement? I've read that it's mostly a vitamin supplement whereas I was...

    Music

    Dear all, A quite random question: Do bearded dragons respond to music at all...? Do they get stressed or does it de-stress them? I'm looking forward to reading some responses :) Regards, Stevo.

    Problem with one eye?

    My BD Deano keeps closing one of the eyes when in vivarium or being handled. It's quite strange and only been happening in the past week. Could it be he is too close to basking lamp or uvb (reptisun )tube?? Or could it be something else... kind regards Stevo

    Deano not eating for 3 days.

    Dear all, I am quite concerned as my beardie hasn't ate in three days (The day I got him). He wasn't taken care of properly by his last owner. I installed a UVB florescent tube today (Reptisun) but prior to him not having this, he ate 8 5th Hoppers but hasn't ate anything since. I've even tried...

    My bearded Dragon Deano keeps rubbing his face against his basking rock, log etc and it must be annoying him. Has anyone any information as to why? Or is this general behavior? kind regards, Stevo.

    Greetings from Ireland!

    Well I will keep this short and sweet. Basically, a friend of mine is moving to England (for good) and is unable to take her beloved bearded dragon with her so I said I will take him. So instead of spending all my money on alcohol (the Irish stereotype is partly true lol ;), I decided to give...
