Not sure. And he needs to learn how to hunt for his own food as he can become very lazy and then he wouldn't want to do anything since he will rely on someone hand feeding him. It is best recommend unless if they are injured or a rescue and need to be hand fed, it is best for them to catch them on their own

I agree with Hazel, work on increasing the activity level of your beardie. Most commonly, laziness is due to the lack of stimulation for the brain… in other words boredom, what size is you enclosure?

A bigger enclosure grants more space to explore, the bare minimum for a bearded dragon is 120 gallons and Id still consider that small, especially for an adult. I’d suggest upwards to a 200 gallon enclosure!

Completely agree my tank is a 120 gallon which is plenty of room for my beardie as she has a stunted growth but it depends on how big you dragon is

Currently trying not to stress over my anemic dragon....she is being treated, but I don't agree with her treatment plan and have been seeking out a second opinion from another vet. If anyone else has dealt with anemia, please let me know how it was resolved. I am losing sleep over this :cry:
Another post lol. My beardie does not like enclosures. Her tank is the kids room and she has created a nesting/bed spot in the corner. She will cuddle with my son but she know when the lights are out and the kids go to sleep, she literally goes to her bed like she is our 3rd baby. I love her. And to think, I never wanted a beardie lol
Please help. My beardie is my baby and I am worried she may be egg bound but I can't tell. She is over 2 yrs old and has never laid an egg. She has been swollen for two days and can't tell if she may be impacted or egg bound. Please help.
I'm still looking to adopt. I live near Homerville Georgia.
