My bearded dragon has not been eating, however, he has been basking almost all day. Is this normal for brumation? It is his normal time to start brumating, but I always thought beardies try to avoid sunlight while they do (I don't remember what mine usually does) I will also point out that he...

What does everyone feed their beardie? I feed my girl mealworms, and I raise baby mealworms to turn into darkling beetles as the beetles are a better source of nutrients and whatnot. :) i just got some live ones from Walmart and this is the alive and dead ratio, for reference there’s supposed to...

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...

Our Bearded Dragon, Morty is about 11 months and 380g now (vet says shes “adult size”) Started syringe feeding because shes diagnosed anorexic from coccydia worms ruining her appetite and has meds that require her to take with food. Whats a good amount of food to feed via syringe to a dragon...

This morning, my 5-year old bearded dragon was outside and I looked away for a second, and she ate a DEAD ROTTING ANIMAL!! I don't know what animal it was. It was brown and black had a white slime over it. My mom who was watching this thinks it was a bird. She ate it too quickly before I could...

Does anyon shave any tips for getting Toto to try new foods?

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 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...

Hello we recently got our bearded a week and half ago and absolutely love him/her! I never knew how sweet and spunky these little guys could be, it’s adorable! We started out with a 40 gallon tank knowing we will switch to at least at 120 in the future but wanted to get the hang of things before...

I got mealworms a week or 2 ago and there shedding and everything but im noticing 2-3 are white worms now as they werent white before what does this mean? Photo for refrense this is what they look like none of them were white when i got them

Hi everyone. Figured I’d make this post to share some resources I’ve come across that are great sources of food, supplies and healthcare for us aussie owners. I am based in the Hunter region of NSW so some of these will be more for people in this area. Reptile Realm (reptilerealm.com.au) -...

My family and I want to start growing some leafy greens outside in our garden bed for my beardie. Would it be ok to do?

One of our juvenile (about 3 months old) bearded dragons got very sick with a respiratory infection and stopped eating. She lost so much weight that the vet was all but assuming that she would not make it. On the advice of the vet, we started syringe feeding her. After a round of antibiotics...

My beardie's teeth have a buildup of brown and I want to try what I can at home before taking him to the vet (if it was urgent I definitely would). I'd like to try out chlorhexidine because that sounds like a good potential solution, but I'm so confused on which one to use. I'd rather not get...

I’m planning on getting a bearded dragon soon, i’m currently working on getting its new home ready. I’m wondering about food and i’m hoping you can post what you normally feed your bearded dragons and how old they are!

hi guys, im a new beardie owner and just have a few questions. 1st is.. i just got my little one a week ago and he’s eating just fine and pooping well so i’m thinking he is healthy. One thing i’m worried about is his hydration. I know that they can go with out water for a while but he does not...

I have an 11-month-old beardie named Matilda (Tilly for short) and I'm really concerned that she is extremely small for her age. I measured her this morning and she's about 13 inches and 129 grams. From what I've seen online she is way smaller than what she is supposed to be. I want to know how...

Hi all, i need some advice on how to get my bearded dragon to eat more greens; she currently barely eats any and she started looking skinny. I feed her worms most of the time but i know i cant just feed her worms all the time.

Hi, I have a bearded dragon who is named Jupiter. Jupiter is about 4 month old and he is doing really well and he is extremely healthy but he has not been eating he is salads much and sometimes I feel like he is scared of the greens because when I try to hand feed him the greens he runs always...

I got a new beardie just a few days ago (Saturday, not sure exactly how old she is but young) she was totally fine eating, loved her greens day 1, not so much day 2, loved her crickets both days. Then today suddenly NOTHING. I have managed to get about 5 cricket in her over the course of the...
