So like,, my guy Stanley does eat his bugs, and does eat greens (collard, cilantro, dandelion leaves and pretty much anything with leaves like that) and blueberries reallyyyyy well thing is, he wont ever touch anything other than that - ive been trying to add alotta other veggies, eg carrots...

I’m trying to get Crouton to eat better, he’s around ~10 months old. Would this be okay on a weekly basis? Usual = Romaine & collard greens Sunday - usual Monday - x10 crickets, mealworms, carrots, usual Tuesday - usual, some bell pepper Wednesday - x10 crickets, carrots, usual Thursday -...

My beardie wont eat when I take him out of his enclosure and feed him separately with his insects. He mainly eats in his enclosure. He also has not eaten in about a day and his appetite has decreased. It is winter here in NY so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. He also is not...

My bearded dragon has recently come down with YFD. I was looking around here a bit, and am currently feeding her blended collards and mustard greens with strawberries (i dust her food 3 times a week.) I have also fed her waxworms and chicken baby food (per the instructions of a post here) I am...

Hi - so I got my dragon a few months ago now...she seems to have settled in well. She lets me handle her with no signs of fear or aggression, she had been eating both her insects and her salad, gaining weight, being active etc. I had done a faecal test for her a few weeks ago where she had low...

Hey everyone! I need some advice on my beardie. The seller said he's 3 months old, but he's 13 or 14 inches long and it feels like he should might older and the seller didn't know the real age. I saw another beardie long at a reptile festival and it was 2 years old but he was small. I've seen...

Hey everyone, i have a female Bearded dragon that i adopted when she was 2 years old. She turns 5 in August! She has always preferred bugs over greens ( just like the average Bearded dragon). I used tricks to feed her greens, such as aragula, dandelions, tomato, salat and fruits. She didn't...

Hey all! First time beardie owner here! Our little guy Hekr (1 year old as of April) just recently finished his first solid brumation cycle. His instincts to brumate only kicked in about halfway through winter, and funnily enough, he brumated from early march to early june. During this time we...

I recently got 700 Dubia Roaches. I sort of just feed my baby bearded dragon the Dubia Roaches until he doesn't want to eat any more. But I'm wondering if there's a more consistent way of feeding him instead of just feeding him until he stops eating, so I can more skillfully keep track of how...

Hello! My beardie willow has gout and I have a few questions. First of all, I saw somebody say alfalfa helps but could somebody give me more details on that? Currently her substrate is paper towels that I change whenever she poops which is very often, but is there any other substrate that would...

I was curious on what's the best diet for an adult bearded dragon? Ramses currently eats greens (turnip greens, little bit of arugula or watercress, and cilantro) daily. I dust her greens 3x a week with calcium supplement and 1x a week with a multivitamin supplement (per a vets recommendation)...

Hi all! I unfortunately made the mistake of giving my beardie too many bugs, and the salad she once loved she no longer wants to touch because, you guessed it, she just wants the bugs (albeit I did get her to eat a few leaves today..) frustrated with myself over it, a s I just want her to be...

Hello There, My bearded dragon has gained a significant amount of weight over the past few months and her activity has lessened. I took her to a vet but he said she was fine and could have eggs. I watched her and her bathroom sessions are normal, she eats, but no eggs. He said if she hasn't...

Hello!! My daughter (age 5) has been saving up for a pet for over a year. We finally got her a beardie on Saturday. But while I’ve done a ton of research, I’m finding a lot of it to be conflicting and am just worried about how much Annie (the dragon) is eating. On Saturday when we brought...

My five and a half month old beardie has been with me for about 2 and a half days now. I know that part of relocation stress is a lack of appetite, but I was wondering if there's any way to help get him to eat? I think he's been drinking water, since there's consistently been sand in his water...

I have what is believed to be a female uromastyx that is around one year old, and no matter what I feed her, she strictly sticks to peas. I have given her various greens, lentils, vegetables, fruits, and seeds, but she won't eat what I give her. She is atm 45 g and 7 in (which I'm not sure if...

hi! i rehomed an adult beardie (thought to be ~7 yrs old) from a friend who loved her but couldn't take her in their move. i've named her clementine (aka clem aka cowboy clem). i'm seeking some advice for her waste/consumption behavior because it seems different than how she was with my friend...

Hello everyone. I'm a newbie to keeping beardies, but have read quite a lot of internet and saw info that some people start to feed veggies to their pets at about 6 months, when their eating tastes change. So my question is - should I just give up on veggies at the moment and feed only feeders...

Just a couple quick questions.. This is my buddy spot. I believe he/she is around five months based off of size . However here recently he hasn’t been as interested in his greens. Vs a couple weeks ago he was all over them as soon as they were put in the tank. He is still very much interested...

Hello! I have already gotten some great input for taking care of little Ember here and am so grateful for it! I’m asking if you can help calm some worries once again. I was taking some pictures of little ember basking and noticed that he has what looks like hardened gums and dirt between his...
