Hey guys.
So I just picked up a baby bearded dragon from shop, & he's got some red in him.
breeder thinks he's a boy.
He's in quarantine just in case anything happens.
Anyways, name suggestion?
I was thinking Godzilla, Able, Ryzo, or Reptar.
EDIT:
So I also had a question.
I am reusing a tank but I cleaned it twice with f10sc, 1:200 ratio, that should be enough right?
To kill anything in the tank.
& how much should he be eating a day?50 bugs about? & how much salad
I don't know about the cleaning but as for a name, I think that really depends on the personality. You don't need to name them right away, you can wait and see what fits.
As for the bugs, it depends on the kind and size. Feed as much as he will eat in around ten minutes about three times a day. They all vary in terms of appetite too. I got small crickets when I first got Boga but I think she ate more than 50 a day, probably closer to 75-100 per day, but again, it depended on the bugs offered.
Offer salad daily. As a baby, they don't need a lot of salad and probably won't eat a lot of it either. I picked up a small kidney shaped feeding dish when I got Boga and just filled that. If she ate any of it as a baby, I counted it as a win.
Feed as many as he/ she will eat in a 10-15 minute time frame - and please dont leave them in the tank --- dust them w/ calcium D3 5 x per week and vitmains 2 x per week

Not now-- you need to let him settle in first- you can take a fecal in if the vet will let you bring one in but I would wait - if he's not showing signs of parasites I would not worry about it--- the f10 cleaning is good-- offer him salad everyday there is a nutrition website link on the feeding board--

I agree I wouldn't get a fecal done this early. And especially not if there are no signs of parasites present.
Dragons have naturally occurring levels of parasites in their body usually. In times of stress the numbers of these can raise, which could lead to false positives. Once the dragon has relaxed, the body will usually knock the count back down to a normal level.
