This is a dumb question, I'm sure, but my Beardie is just over 2 years old. Her appetite is slowing down a bit as she ages, but is still to a point where it's healthy. My question is though, should I cut down the amount of times I offer her food? I usually leave her a bowl of greens and offer...

Hopefully it's just temporary and exactly what you said. Out of paranoia though I put a temporary dig box in her enclosure. She doesn't seem very interested in it though.. I'm not sure if I even did it right, I put a tub of sand in her enclosure underneath her basking light. Not sure if it is...

Update: She's recently started head bobbing which she has never done before ever. She's not acting aggressive otherwise, but I'm wondering if she can see herself from a mirror in my room and thinks it's another Beardie? It's just odd because the mirror has ALWAYS been there and she never was...

Well, its been a while since I've been up here and of course when I finally come back it's due to some concerns I have with Haru. Recently she's been acting strange. It's like she's gotten a sudden burst of energy. For the past 5 days she's been glass surfing and ansty when usually she's pretty...

Sorry for the super late replies, I've been rather busy still. So I got some shelf liner from my workplace and so far so good! She's moving around a lot more now and is actually hunting rather than standing and waiting for crickets to get in front of her so my theories about her not wanting to...

Sorry for the late response! It's been a busy couple of days for me. But yeah, I think I'll try the shelf liner first and maybe play around with using tile in the future or something. Thank you guys for your replies. And of course I forgot to pick up shelf liner yesterday after work. I work in a...

So I'm in desperate need of changing substrates. I've tried pretty much everything aside from loose substrates which I do not plan on using. I hated using paper towels and newspaper and Haru's nails always seem to catch on the carpet. So which of the two do you guys suggest? I personally can't...

So recently Haru has been eating strangely to put it bluntly. It's almost like she's binge eating? On her normal schedule, she eats crickets twice a day and greens she'll munch on throughout the day. Now she only eats crickets during the morning feeding and refuses them later in the day. She's...

So the issues with her feeding continue. It's almost like she binge eats crickets in the morning now and won't eat in the evening. :C She's focusing more on crickets now, sure, but she's only eating them once a day most of the time. I don't know what's up with her. I still need to try other...

Yeah, and at least with impaction the beardies in this case won't have been exposed long enough for it to be serious I think and it's not an instant death sentence so I think I'd rather deal with that. I was just wondering if there could be anything to help with egg laying besides sand and...

I've been wondering about this myself because I recently found out that my 6 month old Beardie is female and I'm dreading her hitting Beardie puberty. Is it possible to make them a lay box using flax seed or alfalfa pellets or something? Would they lay in that or does it have to be sand? I'm...

Is he basking under his lamp? Usually they don't move much and will relax while enjoying the heat/UVB. If you want to see if your baby will get active, I'd suggest you take him out and let him explore-- with supervision of course! Unless your baby is new, if that's the case you may want to hold...

I used a baby names website and searched gender-neutral names to name mine-- which ended up being Haru. I wanted a strong-sounding name, but I also wanted something cute and that one seemed to fit the most. If I had known from the start that Haru was female though, I would have probably tried...

She can't sleep like this anymore since she's too big now, but here's Haru sleeping under her bridge. Or well, trying to. As you can see, she's awake in the photo because I couldn't resist getting a picture. I'm terrible. Also all of these pictures are too precious!

Thank you! :D Sorry for the late reply, I keep forgetting to check up on this thread.

Yeah, she hasn't lost any. When she went to the vet she was 190 Grams, so she's still gaining. Though this weird habit started about a week or so ago. Also this makes me feel better, I hope she goes back to eating normally soon. My biggest worry is just I don't want to stunt her growth or ruin...

Since I can't find any information on this anywhere, I figured I'd ask here. So recently I've noticed that Haru has been slowing down on how many crickets she eats and seems to be focusing on eating more greens. I know their diet changes as they get older and they tend to eat more greens/veggies...

Yes, Beardies do not have diaphragm's and therefore should never be put on their backs. It can suffocate them if they stay on it for too long so it's recommended to never put them on their backs. Instead, they breathe using muscles around their ribs, which somehow will not work if they're laying...

Generally UVB lights are white and not yellow. I don't think I've ever seen one that's yellow, actually. What you have is most likely a regular basking light. I'd suggest that you look into getting a Reptisun 10.0 as it's one of the better tested brands. You will, however, need to keep a basking...

Haru did the cutest thing today and I'm sad I didn't have my phone on me. I had her out and on my bed and she was chomping down on some greens I laid out for her. Well I laid down with my head on my pillow and my hand propped underneath said pillow. She turned around all dramatically, ran over...
