Hello everyone! My name is Krystal and I am a brand new mommy of baby beardie lovingly named "Frank" (by my husband). I don't know how old he is, but by his size I'm guessing a coupIe months maybe?? I got him a few days ago. I guess I am a nervous mom, I've never owned one before but I have wanted one since childhood. Now, 27 years old, I feel I am ready to raise one. He is in a 30 gallon tank, but we will be buying a house in June and he will get a 50 gallon then. I dont have much in his tank. A rock under his UVB lamp and a rock on the other cooler side. A water dish and the tank is lined with some paper towels. The warmest area is 105 and the coolest 80. He does not seem as active as others have described babies should be. He eats about 10 very small crickets a day. He has ate a few small bites of parsely, but doesn't really seem interested in his greens and veggies. I am not sure what supplements/vitamins to give him yet. He got a warm bath yesterday. He didn't seem to care for it, but was very active after it and had a big dinner! I'm so glad to find a place with people who actually know GOOD care for beardies...the pet stores gave some horrible advice! ANY advice you could give to help better Frank or his living conditions would be greatly apprecitated. Thanks!
