    How to prepare new wood for a cage?

    My beardie has been looking really bored lately so I went to Petsmart and bought some pieces of wood and a new hide for him. One is a zoo med mopani wood, one is all living things driftwood, and one is missing its tag but it looks like grape wood/vine. These are all made for reptile...

    Impaction caused by urate?

    He's not quite a year old yet. That is why I'm concerned. I will lessen his calcium supplements and helping him drink. He shows no interest in his water bowl.

    Impaction caused by urate?

    Hi all! My beardie just pooped a couple days ago after not pooping for over a week. I gave him massages, baths, and olive oil treatments for two days before it happened. His poop was relatively normal (larger than usual and a little runny but that is to be expected) but his urate was HUGE...

    Frozen squash?

    My bearide loves butternut sqaush, but it only lasts a couple days after being cut up and it's getting kind of expensive to buy it so often (and then throw most of it away, as I hate butternut squash. :puke: ) I know they beardies shouldn't be fed frozen greens (because they will lack some...

    Beardie ate moldy food?

    Thank you so much! I doubt he ate much of the mold. He's very picky about what he eats. I'll keep an eye on him but he has seemed fine all day!

    Beardie ate moldy food?

    When I woke up this morning, my beardie was eating out of his salad bowl, which wasn't abnormal. I went over to say hi and I noticed his salad was moldy! I had cut up collards, carrots, red peppers, and butternut squash the night before, and I usually leave it in the cage until morning because...

    Superworms for a juvenile?

    My beardie is a couple months old (3-4) and probably around 6-10" in length. The space between his eyes is 1/2". My question is : can I feed him super worms if I cut them up / get smaller sizes? I keep seeing everywhere that you shouldn't feed superworms to dragons under 16" but I don't see...

    Trouble Swallowing? Choking?

    Ooh awesome! I'll go buy some small supers to give him. I don't thing I need to worry too much about fat content - he's still a juvenile and is always running around the cage. I just hate crickets. They smell, they're noisey, and they constantly die.

    Trouble Swallowing? Choking?

    He just ate great and looks like he's going to shed - my first beardie shed! I'm excited. I would feel bad cutting them in half at first but I'd get over it. After taking an Entomology class in college I learned insects don't feel pain, fear, etc. Their whole lives are based off reflexes which...

    Trouble Swallowing? Choking?

    Thank you guys! He pooped! :blob8: And he has been running around his cage acting his usual self so I think he is just fine. And thanks for telling me I can cut them in half. I think the ones I fed him were a bit larger than 1/2" - I kind of got a mixed bag. Most were around 1/2 but I have...

    Trouble Swallowing? Choking?

    I don't have any apple sauce. He usually eats collard greens pretty well could I dip some small pieces in some olive on and give him that? He stopped gaping but he's still basking in like a vertical position. I think he will be okay. He's acting normal now. I will keep an eye on his poop. Do...

    Trouble Swallowing? Choking?

    While I was feeding my beardie some crickets, I noticed he was puffing up his beard, neck and stomach a few times before he'd eat again. I just moved him up from 1/4" crickets to 1/2" crickets, which are just about the size between his eyes. Is he just not use to the size or are they too big...

    First Time Beardie Owner - Have I got it set up right?

    The infrared bulb in white...so I'm not sure what the infrared means. I got it because it was a tight beam basking light that was supposed to be "intense." I have the water under a lamp but next to a mesh vent in the side of the tank. I'll probably take it out because he doesn't show much...

    First Time Beardie Owner - Have I got it set up right?

    Hi guys! I'm very excited to be getting my first bearded dragon. I'm not getting him until I make sure I have everything set up correctly. So this is what I have: Net Geo Reptile Sanctuary 50 gallon (36" x 18" x 18") Reptile Carpet (for use until he is a year old) Exo-terra sand mat (for use...
