Im new to this site, but liked what i was readin and the attitude of most members. I have two red flame bearded dragons, male 8in. and a female 6in. im unsure of the exact age. bought them a lil over a week ago.
i have them in a 55 gallon extra wide breeder tank, havent measured it, but its a pretty nice size. the baskin area is 95-100 and the cool zone is probably low 80-85? i've read its a no no for younger beardies, but i have sand for the substrate.
as of right now the male is eatin dusted crickets 1 to 2 times a day and is supplied with "bites" for bearded dragons from the company nature zone, brocolli, bearded dragon pellets, tomatoes all day. gave him a few pieces of carrot the other day, probably wont again for a week or two, dispite how much he seemed to like them.
the smaller female doesnt seem to like to eat the greens yet, so i chopped up some crickets and threw them in the mix with the greens, but she is also bein fed the dusted crickets.
just wonderin how im doing, they seem very active and alert. only concern may be the fact that the male is a lil bossy at times and often the female only gets to the crickets after he is done. also, how early is to early in handling them? i bought them a week ago, and im now pickin them up once or twice a day for only a few minutes at a time. too much touchin? or not enough?
