baby bearded dragon

I just recently purchased a new baby beardie (yesterday) and I have not noticed any bowel movements yet. I am beginning to get worried, is this a normal thing due to stress moving into a new place? Or should this be cause for serious concern prompting a visit to a vet? It is also possible that I...

Hi! I got a baby beardie last Monday. He/she is about a month & a half old so super small but managed to sort out his enclosure few days prior with heat and lighting and also to check the temps. He currently has a compact UVB (from Exo Terra) but I’ve ordered the Arcadia linear one from the U.S...

So my beardie of 10+ years recently passed away. A family member bought me a new baby. I’ve had him for about 11 days now. The first 2 days I had him he ate a decent amount of crickets & Dubias. No greens/vegs. By day 3ish-4 of having him he will NOT eat anything at all! Nothing. I’ve offered so...

Hey! Almost a week ago, my 6 month old bearded dragon stopped eating crickets. She would generally eat about 20 crickets a day, but she shows zero interest in them now. Then she started hiding most of the day. She only comes out in the morning for a short period of time where she glass surfs. I...

I need some help. I am very new to bearded dragons. We got one as a pet Nov 3rd this year and he was thriving. He was a voracious cricket eater. He has gone through two sheds already since we got him a month ago. He will not eat greens, like refuses to. He just finished shedding 5 days ago...

Hello, I’m a new beardie mom. I inherited two of them and they’re about 5 wks old. I did several things wrong. I got “small” crickets from the store but weren’t very small. I put them in there and later realized they were too big. I left the crickets in overnight…I’ve read that was not good. So...

Hi everyone! I got my first baby bearded dragon 4 days ago, and she has barely eaten. Within the first 24 hours, she ate maybe 5 crickets. She became really lethargic after 24 hours. I noticed her temps were off, so I got a better basking light, and her temps are good now. 95-105 in the hot...

Just had a clutch of baby beardie's born. This one fully came out of the egg, but was still attached to it. Now it's fully out and looks like it's organs are on the outside of the body. Not just a prolapse, but like fully out. There's basically a huge red ball coming out of it's stomach. We...

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone out there can help me. I got my little guy Miko almost 2 weeks ago from PetSmart (yeah…I know not the best) and I started noticing some weird symptoms after a couple of days. Miko was estimated to be between 3-6 months old (baby) and he weights 8 grams. He hasn’t...

I got Jake about 1 month ago he is about 4 months (I think) when I first brought him home he was friendly. Stepped up on my hand when I put my hand in the tank. would sit on my chest while I was watching tv. But for the past week he is very skiddish when I put my hand in the tank or open the...

Hello, I am taking care of my friend's bearded dragon. Almost two weeks ago she noticed what looked like tail rot and she started a treatment of betadine that's diluted in water along with Neosporin without pain relief. Her tail is a darker color still and I'm worried that it's getting worse...

Hi! I'm new to the site as a poster but have been stalking it ever since I got my little guy Ember (3 months old) in the beginning of July. I took him to an exotics vet and she prescribed 0.2mL of a SulfaTrimeth for 10 days. I put his first dose on a bit of strawberry and he gobbled it right up...

Hello all! I am still doing research on when I get a new baby (from a breeder). I'm just so torn and confused about which insects to get for him. 1. I'm leaning towards Dubia roaches, but to be as cost-efficient on shipping (from sites such as Dubiaroaches.com), how many do I get and how...

Please help. I recently got a baby bearded dragon, he’s about 3 month old now. I’ve had him for a few weeks and he was doing fine. But now he’s absolutely refusing to drink water. He’s eating fine but just not drinking. I’ve given him baths, he just sits there, he probably doesn’t like them...

Hi, My daughters bearded dragon had babies which hatched two weeks ago. She noticed today one dragon is bloated and keeps flipping onto its back. She has given it a warm bath and rubbed it tummy but it is not pooping yet. She is feeding the babies small sized crickets (1/2-3/4 size of eye...

Hi guys- new beardie owner here, got my guy about 3 weeks ago. Getting straight to the point, my beardie baby is so lethargic and his legs are so weak and I’m freaking out. He seems to be able to move his legs still though, but he can’t hold onto / grab anything (like when I hold him he doesn’t...

Please excuse the newbie! So I’ve realised I can’t stand bugs that fly and jump (crickets, locusts, flies etc.). I also realise that most worms can’t form part of a regular staple diet. I have a 3 month old baby beardie who’s a bit of a salad dodger but does manage some (as expected for his...
