    Female digger

    Our girl is about 7 months old and her enclosure is next to our male's enclosure. They get along fine and never bob, wave, or black beard each other when they are out and she doesn't seem stressed being next to his enclosure. She does, however, dig. A lot! The first time she did this we...

    Bene-Bac question

    I posted on my forum for Rin, however, I thought I would get this listed here as well, since it's an important question.. Rin is now on antibiotics, and I got Bene-bac to replace the good bacteria. The vet said to give him the antibiotics every other day and the bene-bac every day. BUT...

    When it changes to 20/80

    I kept hearing about the feeding routine changing from 80/20 to 20/80, but ours seemed to come on almost overnight. I have a couple questions about that... Our dragon is about a year old now. He seemed to have started self regulating himself, and I thought it was because he was sick, or...

    Not eating as much-what is normal?

    I believe Rin is 11-12 months old. I also believe he is done growing, at least I think so. First, how long does it take for dragons to stop growing, normally? Second, when they stop growing, obviously they eat less. And I have followed the forum enough to know that as they get older...

    Sick from hornworms?

    I posted a thread in behavior, but that was because I thought he was shedding, and thus acting strange. But now Im thinking it was hornworms that made him sick and then changed his behavior. I got 12 hornworms last weekend and their poop was blackish. Then the hornworm chow started smelling...

    Think I have a sick dragon from hornworms

    I thought it was a shed issue...but I don't think so any more. Post is edited to remove some questions about shedding, because I no longer think it's a shed issue... We changed him from crickets to dubia about 3 weeks ago, and he has been gobbling them down at the rate of about 15 medium to...

    Are dubia carnivorous?

    I have a dubia bin now, and one or two die every few days. Ive noticed, when taking the dead ones out out the bin, many times they are just shell...often times just a piece of a shell and skeletal remains. Are the other ones eating the flesh off of them when they die? I don't have any...

    SUNSHINE!

    Rin LOVES sitting outside. We have some flat rocks that go toward a square area (designed for a hot tub) and a fairly large patio. I took him outside to feed him dubia on a warm rock this afternoon after work, and he just loved eating in the sunshine. Then we sat out there till the sun went...

    Dubia question

    Okay, for anyone who has already answered these questions for others, a million times..Im sorry, but I would like the advise of some out there who already feed their dragoon dubia on a regular basis. I purchased XXLarge dubia. He really likes them, but Ive noticed he has to crunch them up..a...

    Tasty treats

    So I feed Rin his staple feeders of crickets-two nights of which he protested, BTW, because he was holding out for dubia... After the crickets he gets 2 big and juicy horn worms. I feed them to him on a glass plate (Yeah, I know.....I am a dragon slave for sure). He usually squeezes them with...

    BRAT!

    It's official. I have a brat dragon!! Tonight I came home and dusted about 30 crickets in a baggie. He saw the bag and he thought they were dubia because that's what I show him when I come home with a bag of dubia. His feet were dangling off of his basking spot and when he saw the bag he...

    No wonder!

    No wonder so many people are confused about what to feed their dragons. Besides pet shops often giving bad advise, there seems to be a few websites that look legitimate, but give a lot of misinformation.. I hope I don't get into trouble for posting one of them. It's...

    waxy and cool side

    So, my guy is getting ready for a huge shed. His entire body is waxy. He is pooping good, and eating okay (less feeders than usual but good salad eating). Some of the things Im noticing though, is that he tends to be more lethargic than normal, and today I gave him a really long bath, which he...

    Rin-Feeling the love....and black bearding!

    In a previous topic, I stated that Rin does not show a preference for me by jumping on to me from another location. That was yesterday, in a response to another post. WELL today, Rin was outside and I walked up to him, and laid down on the lawn. When he saw me, he walked up to me, then...

    Tantrums

    So, one of my other topics got me thinking about tantrums. I will copy/paste here and add to, what I wrote about Rin's tantrums. I've noticed that he licks me if I've annoyed him and he wants to go further on the couch and my hand stops him from doing so. He will lick me a couple of times...

    Do BDs know who is who?

    So, yesterday while we were at the vet's office, my 9 year old daughter held Rin a little bit, but he seemed to get anxious on her shoulder. When I took him, he stayed still and seemed more calm. When I let him down for the vet to examine him, he was very curious, and licked my hand several...

    First vet visit

    Rin had his first vet visit today, and all was good. It was probably the easiest $67 the vet had ever made. He said Rin looks like one of the healthiest BDs he had ever seen. I had two concerns, one was that he has a very small pinch at the end of his tail that looks like he was bitten as a...

    Shedding behavior

    I've been wondering if his behavior is changing lately because of a shed or not, because he is not acting the same as usual. Rin is kind of laid back for a juvenile anyway. He likes to stare at shiny objects in the backyard while perched on the top of the couch, and he is a cuddler for the...

    slithering

    When I put my dragon outside, on the back lawn lately, he will stay in one spot (normal) and then sometimes he will rotate his arms in circles to run (also normal) but sometimes he slithers in the lawn like a snake (best description I can give) and when he does that, he rubs his cheeks on the...
