In addition to the above, when he flattens and opens his mouth, pop a little piece of fruit in his mouth. This works so well, and is amazingly cute. They get this confused look on their face, and they get their greens too!. It's all about patience and perservirance. Don't be afraid of him...

My little dragon D has had the same problem. He's a pet store purchase, and so came with a lot of problems to begin with (kinky toes, -really- nasty parasites etc) We got the vet to check him out, got rid of the parasites and for a while he was great, then, after his first brumation, he just...

So... who else got a beardie for Christmas? So, didn't really get another dragon (unfortunately) but Noob was running around while I was wrapping gifts and well... he got wrapped as well! The design is basically the same as what I used for a harness, with arm holds cut out and...

I've had mild rashes from dragon scratches... but the body's immune system kicked in pretty quick and I dont any more. Also, feeders can cause rashes in people with sensative skin.

Winter is full upon us now with the snow swirling around outside and, as Jeremy has gone away for the holidays, I am the keeper of Nooblet until he returns. So, everyone is settling down for the winter (aside from Mouse, who I don't think really cares what's happening outside as long as she's...

Both of mine sleep with me. I had them in a shelf behind my bed at first, then in a drawer, but now they have a pillow all to themselves beside my pillow. It's a fairly wide bed and my upper body doesn't move all that much when I'm sleeping. It's the most adorable thing to wake up to a pair of...

Well, if you have the time, and the money, then yes, a bearded dragon IS a good pet for you! They can get expensive if they are cared for properly, but everything you need to know you can find here.

I think 'like' might be an inaccurate word. Tolerate or accept might be better, and it usually depends on how much you impose yourself onto them. Eventually, when you become more The Provider of All Things Edible and less The Giant Thing That Chases Us you become accepted. Which is why adults...

How old is he? Youngsters should eat more crickets (protien) than veggies, since this helps them grow. Older dragons should eat more greens than protien. I've noticed some dragons just don't care for crickets. Have you tried alternative feeders? (roaches, silkworms, phoenix worms etc) Since...

Side note: Dragons can't see stagnant water, so he doesn't know there's water in the water bowl.

There are horrible pet stores, there are bad pets stores, there are decent pet stores and there are wonderful pet stores. Sadly, the wonderful ones seem to be few and far between. If it will restore your faith, any, I was in this one pet store and wandered to the reptile section (magnetic pull...

I've just spent the past 2 hours of my life (ok, well, of my work life) attempting to put together an aquarium/terrairium price guide, but damn are stores ever secretive about their prices! I know these stores carry aquariums! Why don't they list them and their prices on their website! So...

Nooblet used to do this all the time. It freaked us out coming in and seeing suddenly we only had one dragon... but he was under the UVB, sunning his belly each time. Eventually he got too heavy, I guessed, and stopped attempting it XP

You dont need to worry about it as much when they are babies. Obviously you don't wnat to encourage it, but as long as there's no rocks under the branch, it shouldn't be a problem. When they get older, they seem less inclined to be throwing themselves off of high places.... or any movement that...

Yeah, it depends entirely on the dragon. You can't really force them to do anything. They either swim or not. Sometimes if I splash a little with my fingers D might wiggle, but generally he just sits in the water looking colorful until I take him out again. Loiosh will dive in head first and...

I would say that what's advised for the birds is probably good for the dragon. I wouldn't let him near any place that's been treated, make sure your hands aren't contaminated when you touch him or his food etc. and don't leave him in a place where fumes might gather.

I'm so sorry to hear that... I loved stories about Jasper. My heart goes out to you.

Loiosh because I like to name my animals after characters in my favorite books. and~ Diablo, because my brother named him. When we got him, though, he was just an orange stick with legs and enormous eyes, not really a 'devil' so we called him DD instead.

Dear Tatsu: It has been too long since we last spoke, and I blame it entirely on the human component in this house. She is never home anymore, which means the only time I get let out is after lights out and, well, you know that sleep is the only important thing after lights out. It's been...

MANANA~! You made it! X3 Now you don't have to listen to all my stories about Loiosh with jealousy! X3 Yuo can tell me all your stories too! The first few weeks of beardie care are always scary for new people, 'cause you don't know what to expect, but everyone here will help yuo, and yuo know...
