Has anyone tried breeding their own hornworms? Is it difficult? Is it possible for a regular person to do? My beardie loves hornworms (like everyone’s does) but they are so expensive so I thought I might try to breed them.

So I cannot get my 6 month old beardie to eat. The only thing he will eat is waxworms and hornworms and I know waxworms cannot be fed to them for every meal and I cannot afford to feed him hornworms for every meal. I saw from someone on this website they beardies really like chicken and beef...

What can I do if my beardie will not eat? He is only 6 months old and I can not get him to eat. I tried super worms, butter worms, hornworms, nutrigrubs, and veggies. The vet says he is very healthy but I do not understand why he is not eating. It is very frustrating because the only thing he...

How can I make taking a bath a positive experience for my beardie? He doesn’t seem to like the water very much but I plan on bathing him at least once a day because I want to train him to poop only in the water. How can I make him calm down and be okay with being in the water?

Is it possible for bearded dragons to get anxiety?

So for the past couple weeks my beardie has barely been eating. He usually eats a LOT of crickets/superworms in a day and now he is barely eating any at all. I have a set schedule I use to feed him and have been following this schedule since August. Since I noticed he is not eating at the times...

My 6 month old beardie is barely eating. He is alert and poops once a day but lately (the past 2-3 days) I have noticed he is not eating much. Every morning I offer him super worms (I know they supposedly cause impaction but has never had an issue with that). Then when I come home from class I...

What kind of housing do Dubia roaches, and superworms require? Are they difficult to keep up with? I am considering buying some from dubiaroaches.com but I am unsure what I need to care for them to make sure they are healthy when I feed them to my beardie.

My beardie is about 9 months old. His body is 7inches long and from head to tail he is 13inches. Every day I feed him about 5 superworms and then about 13 crickets between the morning and night. All together I spend about $15 a week just in crickets to feed him (not including the superworms and...

This morning I noticed my beardie is not eating very much.. I always feed him about 15 minutes after we both have woken up and he eats about 10 crickets. This morning he only ate 3 crickets and seems uninterested. I also noticed this new pattern on his stomach that has not been there before. I...

So I heard a general rule for feeding juvenile beardies is to feed them crickets twice a day as much as they will eat for 30 minutes each time. Is this accurate? I always hand feed my beardie so should I continue to hand feed her for 30 minutes until she is finished? I feel like I feed her so so...

My beardie is only a juvenile but her gut is VERY large. (I tried taking a picture but no pictures really do her size justice). Her body seems to be proportional with the exception of her legs. I think her legs may be a little too small. I am thinking this is probably from lack of exercise but I...

Does anyone know how much calcium powder/multi vitamin supplements would be efficient for a juvenile bearded dragon? My beardie is about 4 months old and I dust her crickets once sometimes twice a day with calcium powder. I know calcium can be deadly if they get too much but my beardie seems...

I am having a problem with the substrate in my bearded dragon enclosure. I have a juvenile bearded dragon and as a result I can only have reptile carpet in my enclosure. The problem is that when I feed my beardie crickets the crickets always find a way to get under the carpet no matter how I...

I have had my beardie for a couple of months now and he is still a juvenile; however, I will be going back to college in august and I will be required to come home every weekend for my job. I cannot find anyone willing to watch over my beardie when I come home on the weekends; therefore, I was...

Has anyone ever tried to breed their own crickets? Is it difficult? Is it a lot of upkeep? How can it be done?

My juvenile bearded dragon (I've had him/her for about 2 weeks now) always breathes really heavy when I hold it. I am trying to handle it a lot because I was told that if I do not handle it a lot as a juvenile it will become aggressive as an adult.. so whenever I am holding it it breathes heavy...

I am wondering what kind of top I need over my tank enclosure for my juvenile bearded dragon. I have a 40 gallon tank with a mesh top right now because that is all that was available in the pet store but my tank is not warm enough even with the heat lamp and the UVB light. I am guessing this is...

How can I tell if my juvenile bearded dragon is happy or angry? I have a friend with adult bearded dragons and he said if they are angry their tip of the tail and beard turns black. Is this the same for babies? How can I tell if my baby is happy or angry?

I am trying to establish a close knit bond with my juvenile bearded dragon. I know one of the best ways to do this is through treats and food. My beardie seems to only want crickets and no other meat right now (I have tried veggies which I know it is normal for them not to want veggies but I...
