I've had her 2-3 weeks now. I'll keep trying and being super consistent. If she won't take food out of my hand initially, how long should I hold my hand there with the food trying to get her to take it?

Thanks for the advice. I tried to give her a Dubia last night but she was super scared so after holding it there for a min I gave up. I'll keep trying. I've had her about 2-3 weeks.

I have a baby beardie. Lizzy is about 4 mo old. I'm trying to get her used to me. I want her to be friendly and tame. She's very skiddish now and runs away. It's hard not to approach her from the top really because my enclosure is a 40gal breeder tank. Any suggestions? I really want her to be...

I have a baby beardie about 3-4 months old. She runs from me and doesn't seem to like me holding her. If I put her in my hand she'll sit there for a min or so then run off. I'm afraid reaching in to get her is stressing her out but I want her to get used to being handled and be tame and...

I have a new 2 month old beardie. She's eating well bust I can't get her to eat any greens that I put in for her everyday. She eats well otherwise. I give her phoenix worms and dubias. Any suggestions on how to get her to try them...and are there any recipe blendS that anyone uses successfully?

I see talk about black bearding. I'm new to owning a BD. Can someone explain what this is to me? Is it bad?

I have 2 options...get a 6 mo old BD from someone who says they don't have time for her anymore or get a 2 mo old from a breeder. I'm torn as to what is a better option. Is 6 mo old too old to bond? I don't want to miss out on raising one if I get the little older one.

I have two about six week old beardies. They're almost always side by side and sometimes lay on each other. Is this normal? Also sometimes will stand up at the side of the tank on they're back legs and kind of scratch at the tank like he or she is trying to get out. Is this normal? What do these...

I have 2 baby beardies. About a month or so old. They love crickets. I try to alternate with phoenix worms but they don't seem to really like them and I end up putting crickets in. The breeder said don't feed the same thing all the time. I also try greens and they onto touch that. Any suggestions?

I have 2 baby beardie about a month or so old. They are in a 40gal breeder tank. I've noticed that they, one more than the other, will stand on they're back legs and kind of scratch at the tank. Almost like they're trying to get out. Is this normal? Or what is it a sign of?

The breeder I got him from says most people get 2 and if they are about the same size and grow up together there usually is no problem and is unlikely. . His opinion is that they do best in pairs. This is really confusing now.

No signs of shedding. I've had him a week. He is active and alert. I wonder could he be lonely or depressed?? He went from a cage of about a dozen of his brothers and sisters. I've thought of going to get him a cage mate but I don't know if it's bad to have 2. I think today he may have eaten 4...

I have my first BD baby. He's about 3-4 weeks old. The breeder said he was eating great but I can't get him to eat! I've tried small crickets, mealworms and Phoenix worms. He seems disinterested. I thought it was cause he's in a new setting but it's been almost a week now. I put the worms on a...

I'm new to having a BD. Do I need to take him in for vet checkups or nail trims?

Thank you so much for that information. I almost made a mistake getting him a friend!

I just got my first BD. It's about a month old. I'm afraid he will be lonely after being used to being around all of his mates. I'm thinking about getting a second one. Is it better to keep them in pairs or as a single pet? I appreciate any input! Thanks

I heard from a person at a pet store who has a BD that there are recipes that you can make for food for my beardie. He said it was made with fruit and veggies. Does anyone have a recipe of food to feed along with crickets/worms?

I'm looking to started feeding my beardie reptiworms. From what I understand these are also called Phoenix worms are just Black Soldier Fly larvae. I read they can last a few months if you keep them in 50-60 degree temp. Does anyone have any info on these? What kind of container do I put...

Ok. Great advice on the worms. I plan on using crickets but have to say that the idea of roaches kind of grosses me out so I'm trying to see what other options I have

That information helps a lot. What about mealworms? One diet sheet I saw said they're ok and another said the worm she'll can cause impaction.
