So on friday I got a new baby beardie dragon, shes a month old and about 5 inches. She has not really ate anything yet, a green here and there from my hand and one small cricket. My other beardie had that issue for a day but then he started eating regularly.

She has started shedding so I gave her a bath, she looks healthy and doesn't seem to have any health issues. She has been moving around and very active, more then my other one (hes lazy). So is this normal? Should I be concerned?

Not sure about one month olds, but atleast make sure basking temperature is correct using either a digital remote probe thermometer or a temperature gun.

I had to hand-feed my dragon's salad at first too. Mix dark greens with grated veggies into a fine mash. Add a small amount of strawberry/blueberry for taste. I add boiled egg and mix it into a mush in a processor/blender.

I have a digital probe themometer and it has been at the right temps since I have gotten her. Maybe ill try to give her different foods and see if she will like them better. Thank you for the advice.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
