Hello so I recently got a juvenile bearded dragon, it is my first so I am worried about many things so of course I do much research but I always get thrown back and fourth on what to do and not do or what to have and get rid of. here are my questions.
1. Is it recommended to get Tube UVB Lighting? (I brought the zoomed beginner 20 gallon tank with things in it such as calcium with no D3 , accessory's etc.) It came with the Double dome all in one lighting kit for a Heat bulb and a coil UVB bulb but I am wondering is this enough?
2. How necessary is a Heat Lamp for when he sleeps? My room gets very hot so I am worried a heat lamp would be to hot for him especially with Spring coming soon.
3. How often do i need to dust his food during each week? My friend tells me everyday (she has a beardie she raised for 4 years now) then the Pet Store tells me I should only feed him calcium twice a week.
4. Do I need to get Calcium with D3? Do I need to get Multi Vitamin Powder?
5. My Beardie doesn't like to eat much. I always taco him up in a soft clean blanket without extra force and force feed him crickets , carrots , roaches. Today He ate a cricket off my hand and didn't want a second cricket, earlier was force fed carrots with calcium. I always get worried when he does not eat. not sure if I should force feed him daily if i can or just leave the food in his enclosure.
6. Is it good to feed Repashy products to Juvenile Bearded dragons? I have not brought one yet but would like to see some answers if I should or not.
7. How often do I need to give him water to drink?
Sorry for so many questions. Just worried, this is my first bearded dragon.
