    Wont eat, it's been a week

    I have a 1.5yr old healthy happy beardie but for about a week now he had refused food. He's also slowed his poops down to about once a week which ive been monitoring closely. This worried me at first but I regularly check his belly for any hard lumps indicating impaction and there are no hard...

    Beardie puberty?

    My guy used to eat like a pig, but he has slowed down in the past couple of months. He is only 10 months old, so I expected him to slow down once he reached full size. However the past few weeks, he's barely eating anything. He'll only eat 1 super worm a day, or nothing at all. I offer him...

    Could it be Semi-Brumation?

    Tilman is 7.5-8 months old and is acting a bit weird lately. I've never dealt with brumation before, but he seems to be exhibiting some behaviours that he's slowing down. The past 4-5 days he seems to have stopped basking and is spending hours in his cave, or sprawled out on the floor in a...

    What size and weight is your dragon?

    My spoiled dragon, Tilman, is now 7 months old, weighing in at 467 grams at 17.5 inches. He's my first dragon, so wondering if this is a normal weight to age to length ratio? Should he continue to grow still? He seems super healthy, alert and bright. Snapped a few pics of him on my boyfriend...

    Lost appetite at dinner

    My guy is 6 months old and in the past week or two he seems to have lost his appetite at dinner time. During breakfast he'll eat 15-20 large superworms, but come dinner he'll only eat maybe 3-5. He's started nibbling a bit at his salad during the afternoons too, which is new, so I'm wondering...

    When to switch to feeding once a day

    My guy is 5.5 months old and not a big fan of salads. Right now his lights come on at 9am and I feed him bugs at 10am. I then offer a salad in early afternoon and leave it in there until a bug dinner, which is at 6:30pm. His lights then go off at 9pm. He will pick at his salad, a bite or two...

    Still won't heat his veggies!

    May guy is 5 months old now. I know when they are growing they need lots of protein and he sure does love his protein! He gets a mix of crickets, butter worms, roaches and hornworms. I offer him a fresh salad daily with a variety of mustards, arugula, dandelion, etc. and even enticing goodies...

    SO Frustrated at temps!!!

    So I've been working for months on this new enclosure for my 4.5 month old beardie. I'm finally at the stage where I can put him in, but I've been testing out heating and NOTHING is working to get the right temps! First I started with halogens, because that's what was in his old tank. I tried...

    Ceramic Heat Emitter

    So I ordered a 100W Ceramic heat emitter and have been using it for a while. I'm not sure if I got a dud, but it only heats to about 80-85 degrees directly below it at 12inch away, and not much at all around it. That seems low to me, since it's supposed to keep the whole tank warm at night. If...

    Black Bearding?

    My little guy is 4 months old and just had a big shed. Since then he's had what looks like a slight black beard. He's never had this before, so I don't know if it's actually black beard. It's most intense in the mornings/early afternoons before he gets out to play. He's usually quite dark and...

    Scared to let her go

    So I've had my dragon since she was 2-3 weeks old and she is now about 3.5 months. She was very skiddish and I have been working slowly with her to gain her trust. I have been holding her in my hand in her tank, so if she squirms away or jumps off, she is safe. I have recently been holding her...

    Baby Digging?

    I have a 3 month old baby who has a cave she NEVER uses. Well tonight I come in the room about 45 mins before lights out and she's in her cave digging! She's never dug before, what does this mean? Her temps on her basking side are 105-110, she has slate tile floor, has an arcadia UV, I don't...

    Ceramic heater help!

    I have a 3 month old beardie and I've been keeping my eye on the room temperature as summer winds down. I have a ceramic coil heater ready for when I need it, but Im not sure how to place it in her tank. I'm worried it will get too hot and won't allow her to cool down enough at night. Or do they...

    Lighting distance

    My heat lamp seems awfully far away but her basking spot is reading the right temps. But the past week or so she's had darker stress lines, which I know can just mean she's darkening herself you absorb more heat, so I wanted to ensure she's getting warm enough. Her basking spot is 110 and She...

    Faux carved rock covered in Drylok - Great Results!

    Okay guys, so I got a baby beardie and kept her in a temporary enclosure until I finished her new home. Below I've included my progress, let me know what you think! We had leftover slate tile from a reno and I siliconed this in place. I spent a lot of time researching silicone as not to harm my...

    Will only eat on branch

    I think my beardie has turned arboreal :lol: She's about 9 weeks old and seems to rarely come down from her branch. She won't even eat if the bugs aren't on her branch and come to her. I'm not sure if I've spoiled her too much because I tend to put the buggies in front of her on her branch...

    Does she like being pet?

    I have a 8 week old baby beardie and I've just started trying to handle her a few mins a day. She doesn't like being picked up and runs all over her viv trying to escape, but I try to keep handling to a minimum as not to stress her and only do so for baths and what not. I handle her with my...

    Do Beardies like Music?

    I read that someone had a beardie who liked classical music, so I thought I'd give it a try! I put my phone beside her vivarium and played some Mozart. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence because I did it 15 minutes before bedtime, but she seemed really relaxed. She was cocking her head towards...

    What should I do when...

    I posted about this earlier, but still have a few unanswered questions, so I'm hoping to hear some advice and personal experiences. My baby beardy is only about 5 inches long and 5-6 weeks old. She is scared of being touched or picked up and I'm so confused because I've read that some people say...

    Holding Baby Bearded Dragon Advice

    I've had my baby beardie for about 3 weeks now. She's only 5-6 weeks old and she's still very tiny. We haven't tried to handle her much to avoid unnecessary stress. She seems settled in now and seems like she's eating enough, so I'm wondering when and how often we should try to hold her? She...
