That's great that pip/pippa has settled down! At 5 months a beardie should be eating as many bugs as they want in 10 minutes twice a day up until about a year old but you should only dust one feed with calcium/vitamins. They have so much growing to do at this age so lots and lots of protein is...

I would definitely get the little chap seen by a proper reptile vet sooner rather than later if the tip of his tail isn't looking too good that may be the source of the problem if it's black it has definitely died and he could well have an infection inside that's making him poorly. As to his...

Congrats on your new baby! Pippa will probably be experiencing what is called relocation stress which will settle down shortly and can affect their behaviour in a lot of ways including appetite and bowel movements while she settles in to her new environment. It can take a couple of weeks to...

I planned on taking them both once Snoot wakes up from his brumation just for a wee annual check up but I will take pancake sooner if the weather allows. The vet is only a 15 minute drive and they are very good with reptiles. He was banging at the glass for attention last night so I opened the...

I figured he's probably just feeling a bit sorry for himself bless him. It's snowing and freezing cold just now and my other beardie is brumating at the minute and that has caused me no end of stressing so I'm totally just having a meltdown over the little buggers just now. Just going to see...

So I recently took on my second Beardie. Pancake belonged to someone in my work's son who could no longer look after him. We got him about 2 weeks ago and although we expected some teething issues with relocation stress etc he seems to be having a hard time at the minute. Stress marks constantly...

Thank you so much for your reply! Makes me a feel a lot better. I just tried to keep him up until I knew his gut was empty to make sure he didn't end up poorly and I think that's why last night he finally went for it good and proper. I guess I'll just leave him to it then he looks perfectly...

Hi everyone So I'm looking for a bit of advice and reassurance! I have had little Snoot for almost a year now and have spent most of that year a nervous wreck over one thing or another with the little guy although he's always been absolutely fine. He's about a year and a half old. So the last...

Usually it's just because they want attention/exercise... my little Snoot is doing it a lot just now he's so full of energy! It's coming into summer here and he's starting to mature and all of that equals crazy dragon But sometimes it can be an indication your temperatures aren't quite...

I do hand feed anything without legs! But even that isn't tempting any sort of reaction at the minute! He seems to have calmed down a bit the last couple days and looked twice at a cricket this morning so I think maybe approaching a breakthrough lol waiting with bated breath! I still don't know...

I actually went out earlier in the week and bought one tub of each type of bugs the shop had and have poked each of them at him in turn, put them in his salad... you name it I tried it. He has eaten the odd thing here and there... he's eaten 2 crickets today dusted with vitamins actually and I...

Oh yes well trained slave doesn't even cover it he is spoilt rotten and the thing is I would have a house full of them if I could get away with it. Clearly just a glutton for punishment! I think then he's just going through a phase a friend has a beardie who is a bit older but does go through...

What I've been trying to do is let him out every time he bangs the glass even if I'm trying to get out to go to work I let him run around for 10 minutes or so while I'm getting ready I close all the doors off the hall so he has free roam through the living room and the hallway and he gets out at...

Any blackbearding going on with fast headnodding (almost like "he's" going to nod "his" head off) ? (male) can "he" see "his" own reflection ? Nope no black beard and no head bobbing just a whole lot of glass surfing and wall climbing! Enclosure is wooden with glass doors so no way for him to...

I reckon he must be coming up on about 10/11 months old now and he's approaching 19 inches but maybe still just a little bit too young to tell. Put a tub of damp sand in last night and he/she has been having a right good dig since lights on this morning and keeps going back to it...

Hmm it's hard to tell I can't really see anything there at all might try the flashlight! So if he is indeed a she and is behaving like a complete nutter is it maybe infertile eggs we are looking at as opposed to puberty? I'll get a big tub of sand put in anyway just to see better safe than...

I'm not sure if he's a he the pet shop referred to "him" when we bought him and it's just stuck with us! Have uploaded a pic as required but to my untrained eye not much to see!

Hi guys! So I posted a few weeks ago about my little snoot going crazy all day every day banging about and climbing the walls and not eating. He's about 10ish months old (don't know for sure!) Now he (well we think he's a he!) Has taken it to the next level. So he still roams about his tank...
