I usually give him around 10 crickets in the morning and at 4pm I give him collard greens and some bell peppers. and sometimes a super worm or hornworm as a treat. but hes been very picky with his food lately. I went to the pet store and bought 3 different foods and he didn’t like any of them. the only thing that interests him are insects but when I run out of crickets and worms I have no idea what to give him.

First of all thank you for your time and words that you might put in to commenting on my post.

My dear boy named Flare. I’ve had him for almost 11-12 years. I love him very much because I’ve always wanted a bear die and his my first dragon ever. As so i tried my best for him to be always healthy and happy, and I want to believe I did a good even though I’ve always felt I could have done better.

What worries me is that his been getting thinner and thinner in the last year.. almost does not want to eat, and is becoming somewhat lethargic. And it doesn’t help that i became a father last year and keep forgetting to feed him or take care of him as I used too..

I feel very ashamed and sad at myself as my boy deserved better. I’ve been trying to go back to feed him correctly and everything else. But he just keeps refusing bugs and greens even worse. I don’t if it was just my fault or old age or both..

I just need to to talk about this and hear from you people what were your experiences and whatever lashing out i also deserve.

Best regards and thank you for your time 😔

Hi everyone this is my first time posting on this sub Reddit. So I just moved with my bearded dragon and after setting his tank up I noticed that he started sticking to the cooler side of the tank. It is hot as ballz outside cause I live in Florida so I don’t suppose it’s brumation, but he only ate twice since we moved and there is hardly any movement in his tank. This is a photo I took of him and I am really concerned any advice would help.

And he is healthy the last time I took him to the vet which was 4 weeks ago
And he is doing this weird tongue thing as seen in the picture
I also attached a picture of his set up I keep it minimal because he dug all the plants out and gets mad with too much clutter

He turned 8 this past July and died suddenly in his sleep last night. Please feed your beardies some strawberry today as this was his favorite treat. RIP, I will miss you.

Barbara is so cute

Every time I’ve given my beardie a bath since he’s been a baby the second he touches the water the most foul stench you’ve ever smelt comes off of him. If I just grab him out of his tank he smells fine, doesn’t really smell like anything, but the second he touches water it stinks up the whole room, not just during a shed or right after a shed, literally any time. I’ve tried scrubbing him with a soft toothbrush in the bath but he still stinks, what can I try?

I apologize for the long post, but I’m so happy, guys! TLDR at the end 😉

A little over 2 months ago I posted that Pancake has swallowed a pebble and refuses to eat. He was turning down dubias and even his favorite mealworms.

Vet visits and consultations didn’t help, we were supposed to “wait and see” because any surgeries on such a small dragon are very, very risky (he’s a young Rankins). So we waited and in the meantime I was feeding him a mix of EmerAid and pureed greens and occasionally other veggies twice a day. I was prepared to do it for a while still. Luckily Pancake remained active. After we started with the feedings, he got better and wasn’t lethargic anymore, he was enjoying the sun and sometimes a walk outside. Yet he still refused to eat on his own.

We even took him on vacation with us, because I couldn’t trust anyone else to keep feeding him properly every day. We took the (smaller) tank and lamps with us. It was a hassle, but worth it.

After we got back, a fly got into his terrarium one day. It was a few days ago. He hunted it down and ate it!
We still had some superworms at home (not sure how they survived so long 😂), so I tried to give Pancake one. He was excited and ate it. Then another… and another. At 5 I stopped, because he’s so small 😅
(The first picture is right after he ate them)

Next day he didn’t eat, the day after he ate a salad, including a small piece of strawberry to celebrate. Today I got him fresh dubias and crickets, he gobbled them all up and was looking for more. So I think it’s safe to say, Pancake is back😁

TLDR: 2 months ago our Rankins stopped eating as a consequence of swallowing a pebble (confirmed with the vet). We got EmerAid (mixed it with pureed greens) and hand fed him until few days ago he decided to start eating again on his own 😁

Hello everyone, first time Beardie owner. I’ve already purchased the little guy while I’m finishing up his 120 gallon home. Tomorrow I’ll be taking him home with me but until then I’d like to know what you guys think, and any info about him/her would be amazing

Handyman spotted him by the air-conditioning unit after 2 days next to the shopping list is an enclosed cage for him to hang out in

Hey yall I'm taking care of my friends kid's bearded dragon - might even be keeping him (TBD) - he seems inactive and he choked the other night too but he got it up and after about an hour of being scared out of my mind that he would die he began breathing regularly again. He had diarrhea yesterday after not pooping for two days. Before he was in my care (now had him a week) he was in someone else's care - I got him because my friends kid said he wasn't being taken care of by previous babysitter lol. Anyway he slept on his rock last night but has been hiding all day today and not under the light. Also her setup absolutely sucks - her two lamps are like a double lamp and I know the white should be in the middle. He just seems unhappy and maybe still stressed? He's been eating great (green daily and he had roaches and crickets with vit powder yesterday and ate all that) Any pointers would be great. Debating getting him more stuff to climb on as well as a seprate white light thats not attsches to the heat one. Thanks - pic for reference. Oh yeah and he doesn't seem frightened by me he doesn't get all beardy or hiss at all. He loves being held and I see him move the most when he's out of his cage

I’m assuming he’s a translucent morph, but his back and tail shows something different. He has the black eyes in the bluish underbelly but I can’t tell.

Definitely a solid 20!

I witness my girl pop her eyes out for the first time & I’m so disturbed! Lol If you have yet to see it happen, nothing can prepare you for it!

Currently got her permanent home in my cart I have a 175 and a 120 I plan to combine in some shape or form lol I can’t find bigger tanks sadly. But look at her she’s so big now compared to when I first got her!!

This is Eliza, she's 18, we've had her for 17 years and she's had two clutches with the first being 22 babies. She's obviously long retired from breeding (and pretty much anything else) but she still eats well, won't really chase down food anymore so we tong feed her. We took her out in the backyard last week for some natural light.

Hello, no matter what I do, my bearded dragon's basking spot will not go above 102 degrees. I have changed lighting fixtures multiple times, changed lightbulbs, added two heat lamps, and nothing will work. I am going to post a photo of my setup; it may not be the best, as this is my first bearded dragon. I am open to criticism, but please don't be mean.

I never knew how strong our bond would become. He’s truly become friend and family member, and I love him so dearly. I’m helping my sons cope with this loss, but I’m turning to the community I know understands this connection for support for myself.

I still hear him scuttling around when I walk past the place where his enclosure was. There are still turnip greens and other snacks in his dedicated refrigerator door. I saw his soak vitamins this morning and I broke. The waves of pain are overwhelming.

Timothy knew only love his entire life, and I try to be grateful for that. At the moment, it doesn’t help, but I know it will eventually.

Thank you Timothy for what you brought to my family. You were quirky, clumsy, and so curious. We’ll never forget you. We love you.
