Hi there! While I would definitely keep a close eye on her for the next few days, your dragon doesn't look obviously unhealthy. I'm not terribly experienced, as I've only had my little guy(Gar) for about a year, but I think sometimes they just have off-days where they act a little weird or...

Hi Jennifer, welcome to the site! Yes it's totally normal for them to take awhile to start eating veggies. My little guy, Stilgar, took some convincing to start eating his salad but now he chops it down!

Hi guys, thought I'd post an update! That's awesome that you've got Dezi a nice custom ledge, and really cool that you have him all set up as your traveling companion haha. Stilgar is doing well, he just edged past the 1ft mark and is energetic and seems happy(though getting ready to shed, which...

No problem, hope the info helps! I'm not sure how you currently do insect feedings, but one thing I highly recommend is a "cricket keeper". It's basically a plastic specimen box with black tubes, it's great for gut-loading bugs for your dragon, and allows you to tap crickets into a feeding...

Hi Julie, welcome to the site! Spikes a cute little dragon! I'm a relatively new Beardie dad, but here's my understanding: Basking with their mouth open(gapeing) fills the role of 'panting' for lizards, It usually means they're at their ideal temp and are just cooling off to stay at that level...

Thankyou for the info! I did a pretty significant amount of research before I brought him home, but there's so much conflicting info out there I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything obvious. And I agree, he's a great looking young lad, haha! It's already funny seeing his little...

I'm a relatively new bearded dragon owner. So far things have been going pretty well between myself and Stilgar. However, he's just a little guy, and I know how fragile any young animal can be! Basically I want to know the most common very early symptoms that something isn't quite right, to make...

Hi there, welcome to the site! You've got two cute little dragons there! I'm fairly new to keeping bearded dragons, but I know that my beardie, Stilgar, doesn't usually show much interest in food until he's had some time to bask. If they're willing to eat, feeding them early shouldn't do any...

Ah! What a great healthy looking beast you've raised! And thankyou! I definitely plan on doing everything in my power to help Gar grow up big and healthy too. Thank you for the welcome, and Gar says hello right back!

I'm sorry to hear your little guy isn't feeling well- I'm new to keeping dragons as well, and thankfully don't have experience treating illness(in lizards, anyway), the only thing I know that might help is to make sure his basking area, right under the light, is getting to 105-110. 90 should be...

When do you turn off the lights for the evening? From what I've read, dragons need at least 2 hours of heat/light to adequately digest their food, so if he's being fed right before bedtime that could be the issue? Also, is that a live cricket next to the feces? Hard to tell as I'm on my phone-...

Haha thankyou! He's definitely already captured my heart- and you're correct, Stilgar is one of the desert dwelling Fremen from Dune! I'm not precisely sure Gars age, but I got him just over a month ago, and he was in a cage of other little dragons, couldn't have been more than 5-6inches, so I...

Awesome! Sounds like once s/he sheds they'll be a happy lizard! Just to clarify- I was recommending adding a second little hide, so your guy can choose whichever shelter is at the most comfortable temperature. Stilgar usually sleeps on the cool side, but he does periodically crash is his warmer...

Hi! Welcome to the site- I'm also quite new to dragon husbandry, but my little guy is around the same age so I figured I'd throw in my 2 cents. Your dragon should be eating way more than 5-6 crickets(and the crickets generally shouldn't be larger than the distance between his eyes), my guy will...
