I wasn't coming off negative at all. I was just stating that even though reptiles and dogs/cats are nothing alike as long as they're in you're care they're considered domestic
Regardless of how you take care of your beardie, at 10 years old your dragon looks healthy, and having no illness or health problems is kudos.
As far as attention getting my beardie Layla would rather prefer to be on her own, she hates to be held, no matter how many times or for how long i try to get her to like it, so she keeps to herself a lot.
My point wasn't going towards the whole love and attention, it was just the whole feeding thing.
but yes, a beardie can go 2 days without eating, but it is probably more ideal to load him up with veggies and worms before you leave, so he at least has something to munch on while you're gone.
I just put myself in his shoes and thought how bad I would feel if I didn't feed my babies for two days.
But every beardie is different and so is every beardie owner.
I think we should all respect the fact that his beardie is 10 YEARS OLD, still going strong and LOOKS healthy and beautiful.
And regard his question, because I think this whole forum turned against him all about the way he treats his beardie :roll:
I think a few answered your question for you, there is no telling when your beardie is going to die, but hey, why think about that anyways? No pet owner does.
You WILL be able to tell when a beardie becomes lethargic and stops eating.
I lost a beardie once. You will just be able to tell when their time comes, and when it does, just try to make them comfortable before they pass away.
I wrapped my beardie in a little blanket before he passed, granted he was only a baby but he died peacefully in his blanket.
Hope the best for you and your dragon.
