Oh and she replied... "ok sounds good" to my long explanation. I'm hoping all will be well. I will try to advise her best when she comes tomorrow and hope for the best!!

Thank you both!! Actually, I have already directed the new owner to this site hoping she would reference it a lot!! Also I did send her an email and explained that the beardie has been sleeping a lot and not eating as much and I have given her an out. I don't want to give her a problem if...

Hi all. I have a question I hope you all can help. So whats going on with my BD? I'm wondering if she is trying to brumate or something else. And what should I do about my situation. First off sadly due to some very unexpected financial and health issues in our family we have to re-home our BD...

That is great!! Enjoy your newest addition!!! We are still working on getting a great set up for ours but he has grown tons and we love him!! 8)

The red bulb will affect his sleeping patterns. Don't use it and if you need extra heat at night then use one of those CHE bulbs that don't create light. If your house doesn't get below 65 at night then you have no need for extra heat. Otherwise you may want to take the little guy to a vet...

A baby should eat live feed 2 or 3 times a day as much as they want to eat in about 10 minutes... is the general rule. For mine that is about 15 crickets a feeding, around 25-30 crickets all day, Plus about 10 phoenix worms as well. Greens, that is as much as they want to eat. I would say...

My BD is about a month older than yours and about 2 weeks ago he started eating his greens everyday. Before that he just ignored them or barely had a bite every once in awhile. Now he eats almost a whole dish everyday. I have always fed him twice a day, so I feed him his live feed an hour or...

LOL, I've always knowns those roly poly bugs as potato bugs :D

My quick guess is about $60 a month since at this time I have to buy live food from the petstore. I assume that will go down when I can buy online.

I can't think of anything really to be concerned about as long as the cost of feeding them doesn't concern you :wink: Only thing I can think of off the top of my head is if you all travel a lot or anything like that. I know some vets do boarding. Around here there isn't anyone who does...

Thanks, that is what I was thinking!! It is hard to judge... it gets light here around 5:30am and isn't dark till 9pm so I know the outside light affects her/him too! I think I will change it by an hour and see how that goes :)

PS... I'm not sure on a rough estimate on a enclosure with all the right stuff... if you built one and got the right bulbs and whatnot, I'd say around $200. You could also check on craigslist and find a glass tank but glass ones don't regulate the temps very well. (I've been looking of...

Definitely NO on that setup. I fell into that trap and I'm regretting it big time (and that was only two months ago). It will soon become a very expensive cricket house!! I'm having my husband build a 4'x2'x2' wooden enclosure with a plexiglass door in front for ours. I found a great site...

Oh goodness, I don't even want to know!! LOL. The cost of live food is enough to give me a small heart attack :o It has ended up costing more to feed our BD than our two dogs plus our cat so far per month... I'm hoping to get that down when I start ordering in bulk. I'm going to have my...

Well, I personally think that most BDs just get used to it and tolerate it for the most part. They don't really have a part of their brain that gives them "feelings" so I really don't think any of them "love" the attention. Ours is younger than yours and he definitely prefers me to others and...

Use the inside of your wrist (the softest most sensitive spot) and make it comfortable to your wrist there. I make mine slightly warmer than that since it cools fast.

So, I have been having my BDs lights on 14 hours and off 10... from 7am to 9pm is lights on. Recently she (or he) has been "going to bed" at about 8:00 or 8:30. Like right now it is 8:30 and she has herself all tucked into her hiding spot under her rock/cave. Should I start cutting down on...

Wow, Lexi looks a LOT better. Great job Emily!! :D

I'm wondering what is the temp range that crickets live best at. I don't live in a hot area, it isn't much warmer than 85 in the day (average is 75) but gets down to the low 50s at night right now. I wanted to buy a bunch of crickets for our BD but I don't want to keep them in the house, for...
