    recently rescued a beardie and need some help

    She does seem interested and goes into "hunting stance/mode" when I drop the leaves from above or move them around, but as soon as she realizes it's salad and not a delicious bug she ignores it. I just worry about the long term impact on her health if I can never get her to eat the salad...how...

    recently rescued a beardie and need some help

    Hm... I'm still having trouble feeding her salad. She gets hornworms 3x a week but still isn't interested in her salad. She ate it when I didn't feed her worms for a couple of days, just because I starved her out though. ): But now she won't eat it no matter how long it's been since she last...

    Also, I took a closer look under her tail... I think I might have a boy on my hands actually. Does this change anything?

    recently rescued a beardie and need some help

    I changed the tile so it fits better (previously had two 16x16 and it left a lot of empty spaces around the edges) and it was also too slick for her to get much of a grip on it, she has natural stone now so much rougher. I think she's doing a lot better and settling down. She's shedding some of...

    recently rescued a beardie and need some help

    I made sure to give it a good clean and used an antiseptic. But so relieved she ate her salad, she can bite me every day if that's what it takes :lol: Here's the enclosure now that it's been all fixed up with new lights, new flooring, etc. Only thing left now is to drill a hole in the screen...

    recently rescued a beardie and need some help

    The good news though is that she started eating salad today. Left a whole plate of greens and other goods in there and she ate everything save for a couple of leaves. :)

    recently rescued a beardie and need some help

    Well I suffered my first bite today. :oops: I was holding her while my roommate cleaned the cage and she ran towards the edge of the bed. Didn't want her to fall off so I tried to scoop her back up and she got pissed and puffed and bit. Drew blood but wasn't too bad, didnt even hurt. Time to...

    Can anyone help with this? I don't know anything about lightbulbs at all, trying to look through home depot website and getting so confused. And is 5000K too high or is it ideal? All the realy high K bulbs also have high wattages, is it possible to get a lower wattage with 5000K or do I need to...

    recently rescued a beardie and need some help

    Feeding her dubias I have fed her in the tank, tried using tongs, letting them run around and let her hunt them, holding them for her, bowl on the ground, me holding the bowl. She hunted the dubias the first couple of days but stopped and now only takes them if I'm holding the bowl with the...

    Here's a few pictures. http://i.imgur.com/m0z0d8j.png http://i.imgur.com/mlwrWRZ.png http://i.imgur.com/TaiNc6M.png She's a little under 3" across at her widest point.

    recently rescued a beardie and need some help

    Haven't tried a bath yet, I thought about it but she's seems so stressed I thought it would be best to handle her as little as possible however I have misted her a couple of times the past week. When I tried to handle her her beard started getting very dark so I put her back as quickly as...

    recently rescued a beardie and need some help

    Just got a new beardie on the 6th of Feb. I've never had a Beardie before so I could use some advice. I've been doing a lot of research on my own of course but could use some more advice. There's a temperature gun and digital scale on their way to my house in the mail, but I haven't gotten them...

    New beardie, new to the forum :)

    Hey, I'm Seth and I just recently rescued a beardie (Feb. 6th) and I have been doing a ton of research since then, and since I'm constantly using these forums as a helpful source I think I should make an account. :D Especially since I have some questions of my own. Say hi to this cutie. She's...
