Well. I introduced blueberries yesterday. Sweet boy loves sweet blueberries. He didn't like them before. Now he can't get enough of them. Loves having them on his salad now.
Are they good for making them go to the bathroom more often?

and here is another that is very commonly used on here. the info on kale needs to be updated though. it has been studied further and is a great staple green. i have found it to more accurately match info from my reptile specialist vet than the one mentioned above.

Oh most definitely!

I'm not sure what that warning is. I can load the page directly from the link I posted. From what little I remember from my New Media class, it is possible it is because it is a .html but it is not a secure link? Maybe try loading it, but then deleting the "l" at the end of the address? If not, here's a screen shot of the top of the page so it can be googled.

Ok, thanks.
Google Chrome (other browser) lets me open it but also tells me the site does not support tls (https), which is weird nowadays. I'll just screenshot it then :)

When I took Beebz in to the vet I was given a paper of a recent study showing fruits contribute to dental disease in Dragon's. So he gets a blueberry like once a month now, and I try to do it when he's going to eat a hard bodied insect after to help clean off his teeth.

It does seem like he poos pretty soon after he gets one.

I read this before I go out to see what he can eat. I've bought Kale before and he'll spit it out if he's not interested. Then the next day, he'll be interested. Picky eater? Yes.

He rarely gets a lot of fruit. Once or twice a year, he'll get one fruit. Apple, raspberry, peach, pear, or a new sliver of strawberry. This time, it's blueberries.
He used to get crunch bugs, but he quit eating roaches and spits them out. Phoenix worms and hornworms. Roaches can come later.

So, this is good news. Lowered his basking box to where he can climb it and he did.
He also ate a little one his own, too.

Aww your profile picture is precious ❤️‍🩹
Hey! I'm planning on ordering a 4x2x2 for my next beardie but I'm worried about lighting. I have a UVA and a UVB but they are small (the UVA just being a bulb and the UVB being 12 ish inches?) My house is drafty so I need a strong light that puts off quite a good amount of heat, any suggestions?
