I got my bearded dragon about a month ago. I got her from Petsmart (ok now I know bad idea). This was a spur of the moment buy. My fiance wanted a pet. I have 2 big fish tanks that I spent hundreds of dollars on. So he wanted something. I understood and we went to the store and without looking anything up about these animals bought one. Ok yes I know stupid. I don't know anyone that has ever owned one or even heard about them until we got her. So the employees at the store told us to feed her only 5 crickets a day because that's all they need. I not knowing if this was right just did that so she has been getting 5 crickets a day until Saturday when I happened across this site. I feel like the worst owner ever. I have been starving my animal because 1.) the people are pet stores know nothing. Think I would know this after the tons of wrong fish advise I get 2.) I didn't bother to look up if I should be feeding her more. I have learned a lot since Saturday and I am very glad for this site. Sorry if I make anyone mad about not taking care of my pet correctly. I feel horrible and have learned a big lesson.
P.S. She is now eating 2 times a day for 10 minutes each time. And she is looking much happier with her stress marks gone.
