Hey Everyone!
Just got my first Beardies a few days ago and thought i will finally register and say hello. I have been lrking in shadows over past several weeks researching and gathering information needed for keeping my new beardies healthy.
Now, being done with introductions I would like to ask a few questions as the guy from pet shop confused me a little (but I still trust your oppinion more than anything else guys)
First of all: Skarsnik and Gobla are young and judging from their colours fairly stressed - are the stress marks going to dissapear any time soon?
- Should I worry about overfeeding young dragons or will they know when to stop eating? (unlike my cats hehe)
- I dont want to put the water bowl inside as they dont seem to eb interested in it at all and it will just add to the humidity. Should I give them a bath regularly? I see on the forum you say weekly or even daily but the guy in the shop said to never do it? I know they are desert animals but I just dont want them to be dehydrated or anythin! I gave them some fresh peppermint sprinkled with water and both of them munched on it like crazy - would that be enough water if they dont have a water bowl?
Also I have heard that keeping two beardies in the same tank can lead to serious issues - should I really be worried about it now when they are young or is it something that only adult dragons do?
Last thing would be a few pictures to introduce my new family members:
Skarsnik and Gobla basking on my router (warmest place in the house) waiting for their new tank to warm up a bit.
Enjoying the first day at home ;-)
Summarizing: THANKS FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP TO DATE! MUCH APPRECIATED
