Hello everyone We finally went down and got Cho, our first bearded dragon. He is a boy, approx 3-4 yrs old. Previous owners got him in 2011 as a baby from a pet store. So we made the 4 hr trip into no-where and found *Rhino* (we changed the name to Cho- not sure if anyone here watches The Mentalist?). His tank was the one they had him in since he was a baby and is half the size we have him in now. He was fed on frozen peas/carrots/etc, mealworms (staple/ mealworms every 2 days) and spinach :? Planning on changing his diet to dandelion greens as a staple with frozen and fresh veges in his salad every so often, butternut squash daily and crickets daily. Will still feed mealworms but only a few times a week.
They didn't bathe him because he apparently hated water :?: Going to try that out next week if he looks like he's settled in. He really enjoyed the car ride, pooped twice :roll: and doesn't have any stress marks at all I think he measures 45cm, but haven' properly weighed/measured yet so will do that asap. Just wanted to know if I can/when I should start handling him properly as in taking him around outside on a leash and letting him out inside the house? Owners said he loved running around, he's so friendly, he spent the whole ride on my arm (except when he pooped )
He's such a cutie!
Just wanted to let all you guys know Any advice on what to do with new beardie? I'll probably leave him to it for the first week so he gets settled. Will post pics soon- photo bucket isn't working
