Hey everyone. My girlfriend and I have had our beardie for about 8 months to one year. She’s about 8 years old from what I can piece together. The previous owners only had her for about a year and didn’t really take care of her, so I took her to at least try and give her a better home. I’m still learning. I have so many questions and concerns that I need to address and I’m glad I found this forum. I look forward to learning and seeing everyone’s beautiful beardies! Picture coming soon if I can figure out how to work everything, I assume I need to get on a real computer and not my phone.
Side note: I’m not actually sure if she’s a female, I assume because she seems small.
I think I figured out how to share pictures, so here is my little sleeping beauty. And yes, I know. Not supposed to use crushed walnut. Wish I knew before I bought a huge bag and opened it, but I know now and she hasn’t been impacted yet. I will fix it as soon as I can. She won’t let me pick her up.
You MUST remove the red light!! They are really bad bearded dragons. Also, what is his/her diet? What is the setup (brands included)? To tell if he/she is a he or a she, lift his/her tail and if there is one bump over the opening at the base of the tail, he/she's a female. If there are two, he/she's a male. Hope this helps!
Ya. I already found out that the red light is bad. I’m working on getting her a better set up. She gets lots of crickets. Superworms every now and again as treats. Lots of kale and mustard greens. I mix in lots of things for more variety and sometimes treats, like carrots, apple, mango, and some other stuff. Also, I’m very nervous to try and sex her because she isn’t particularly fond of me yet.
