My wonderful DH built this amazing enclosure for Zaxxi. It's Is just shy of 4' long and just over 2' deep and high. I currently have some wooden logs baking in the oven to start filling in the viv with. (Doesn't it look bare?) So far we just moved the lights from her old one into this one...

Lol. We went camping for a week and hired DD1's friend (who is 9 - and was supervised by her mother) to feed our animals while we were gone. She heaped love on our pets. I have never come home and had my cats seem happy rather than desperate for human companionship. I got a new order of...

So... After my last order of crickets that grew up too fast, I ordered 500 1/4" ones. They are TINY!!!! I just gave my beardie some and she is completely ignoring them. It's like she doesn't see them, or maybe she doesn't want to see them? Any ideas?

I process sheep fleece (just for my own use) and I was looking at a pile of "waste" thinking that it could make a cosy nest for a creature. This is wool that has been fully cleaned, so the fleece was soaked in 150f water with Dawn soap and then rinsed a couple of times. When I card it, I end...

Lol. Zaxxi never goes anywhere near her greens when I put them into the dish. Ignores them completely, even with yummy worms mixed in. However, once they dry out (I live in a REALLY dry place) which takes maybe 5 or 6 hours, she will actually eat them. It's funny to hear the crunch noise...

:-x There are 4 adult crickets in my cricket container. They are chirping. Against my husband's wishes I caught 3 of them and put them outside. I cannot wait for my worm shipment to get here. I HATE these things...

I figure I should probably just start my own thread. :) So far we have been having a great time getting to know each other. My kids are in love, my husband is in love. The dog has decided that she doesn't mind sharing cuddles (don't worry - very well trained dog and I'm on high alert anytime...

I cleaned the cage today and found 6 crickets hiding under the paper towels so I figured it was time to re-try the feeding box. Here's the thing. She normally hunts her crickets all over the cage. This time she sat there frozen for a few minutes before trying to escape. Oh no!!! Where am...

OK I'm just going to admit it, I'm a math/science nerd... I really want to collect and then graph a bunch of growth cures for bearded dragons. I think that would be really cool. I'm planning to weight/measure Zaxxi every week or so (the exact timing doesn't really matter). I'm wondering if...

Zaxxi is 2-3 months and is starting to want to come out to play. When she's sleepy, I can bring her out and she will just cuddle with me. But when she's active? Oh man... She just wants to run! DH and I were able to kind of pen her in on the couch for a bit this evening. But again, she ran...

Miss Zaxxi has been looking a little stressed for the last two days. When we first got her (last Saturday) her belly was a very light color. She didn't really seem stressed at first. She hid alot, but now she's coming out from her hiding places, but she has super stress marks on her beard...

You guys are awesome. I'm glad I found this place. I have a couple questions about my viv. Right now I am using an old 20g tank I had from fish. I have BIG plans to make a new one this summer as a custom build, but this is what I have right now. Zaxxi is ~7" right now so it works. The...

I just got a baby dragon. I would like to start a colony of some kind of feeder so that I don't have to always buy. I have been reading things all day and I feel like my head is going to explode. Right now I have a red worm colony because I verma compost. (I live in the frozen wastelands and...

We got Zaxxi yesterday. She (?) is ~12 weeks old and seems healthy and alert. She ate some crickets last night (~4 - I don't remember exactly) and then ate another 4 this morning. (The crickets are at the upper end of the size range for her.) So far we have no poop. How long do I wait...

Our family has been in the market for a new pet for over a year (since one of out cats passed away). We finally settled on a bearded dragon. It took a couple months to fully figure out how we would do it, but today we picked up our new addition. He (she? we don't know yet) is about 12 weeks...
