I'll try that, maybe I'll get him some smaller locusts. Orion's doing great! He's pretty big and is a nice orange colour. I really should post some pictures. He can't get enough of his food. I should have done more research before I got Chiyo. I don't think that I was quite ready to look after...

Hi; Orion's almost 8 months old now and for Christmas I was hoping to give him a special meal. Any suggestions?

Alright, thanks for that. I've told them where to get some crickets if needs be but seeing as they jump around a lot and are generally unpleasant, I thought the worms would be a better option.

Hi there; It's been a while since I've posted here. I wasn't too sure where to put this one. It was just to say that I was going on holiday. I've found someone to take my 7 month old beardie, Orion. He's fit and healthy. I've ordered enough phoenix worms form him to avoid trouble for the...

Phew! That's a relief. :D I was worried. Thanks.

Hi there. I just went up to feed my 4 month old beardie Orion. When I went to check on him he'd done another massive poop (he did another this morning). I looked at the poop and could see some red stuff on it. Now, yesterday I gave him some red bell peppers and a piece of tomato, I know that...

I was wondering that too because in my old school we used to breed both crickets and grasshoppers but then a few classes later we had what they called locusts. They do seem to make the difference here between sautrelles (grasshoppers) and criquets (locusts). I'll have to do more research.

I've noticed that just before I feed Orion, he goes completely nuts and starts literally running up and down in front of the cage. More oddly, he often does it on his back legs and run along. Then when he's waiting for me to put a cricket in, he'll stand on his two legs in what I can only call a...

Aye, that's what I've heard but I'm just a bit worried about some escaping and infesting my house. Crickets/grasshoppers are one thing, roaches could become a serious problem.

Hi there! I've been getting fed up with my feeders recently (no pun intended). I'm not sure if it's the supplier or just how I'm looking after them but a ridiculous number of my crickets are dying! I got two boxes which were supposedly 40-60 crickets each, I guess I got about twenty out of...

Phew, that's a relief.

Hi. This is probably nothing. More of a question than anything else but I'd rather be safe than sorry. My new beardie Orion sometimes looks to be seriously bloated, he swells up and looks rather round. It's noticeable around his belly and head. It usually happens just after feeding time after...

Well, a day turned into a week. Anyhow, Orion's settled in very well. He eats loads: crickets and his greens and is full of life. I dust them with calcium 5 days a week and exoterra multivitamins twice a week. He's molting a little but not much how often should they molt roughly? I've...

He seems to be very healthy, he's pooping by himself and can jump over a foot! So, hopefully by Thursday he should still be okay. I'll try the chicken food.

Okey, I'll do that. He certainly has got a massive appetite! I've also got some waxworms, I gave him one yesterday but I really don't want to over do it.

I live in the middle of the countryside and in my country, reptiles are still rare and it's hard to get your hands on some crickets (you have to first order them at a petstore and then they receive them a few days later). Yesterday I drove all around my surrounding area looking for them but I...

Due to a shipping error, I can't get any crickets until Thursday. Now this is a problem because I picked up my new beardie today. He's two months old and has a massive appetite (he started eating dandelions as soon as I put him in the cage). I've got a few black crickets left but I heard that...

Hello again. I just got a new bearded dragon male, Orion (I'll post some photos tomorrow). He's two months old. He's a curious little guy. He was barely in the cage half an hour before I put some dandelion leaves in. He wolfed them down like there was no tomorrow. I'll post some pictures of...

Hello again! It's been a while since Chiyo died and I've modified my terrarium: I've changed the floor to slates and added a 24" arcadia 13%UVB. I'm going to go and pick up a new baby beardie next week he should be 2-3 months old and I like the looks of his mother : I've got pretty much...

I know! How do they expect people to take good care of reptiles if they don't themselves?! I guess they just don't care that much or rather it costs quite a bit of money to keep a beardie healthy (UVB, food, etc...) they'll be trying to keep up their profit margins. Still, you'd think that...
