woodies

[TheBoga]

Woodies do stink. I do a bit of a clean up on occasions removing any dead ones or shed bits.

I also move the small babies to different tubs because I find if I grab a hand full I get babies wondering around the enclosure and he doesn't eat em.

I was told to clean out my woodies every 6 months

 

[m_beardie]

M, I see you keep your beardie on fake grass. Does s/he like it? Whats it like to clean? I'm building a new enclosure and might use this.

 

[m_beardie]

Dinoizmadragon- Fake grass is REALLY good for ma dragon! he lovessss it! and it is really easy to clean. Ill give you a tip- buy two lots of it so that when you are washing one you can put the dry one in. It's really good though because you can pick up poo really easily.
hope i helped

On the topic of poo, for the last few weeks I have fed my adult dragons on a diet of carrot and rocket, as I was saving the adult woodies for breeding. The result is not fun, sloppy, runny orange poo. Think i'll throw insects back into the mix

Dont know about the weetbix, i read to feed them cereals aswell and we always have crumbs left over so i chucked them in.

have you ever heard of 'variety' ?

the quality of your offspring must be horrendous considering the breeders poor diet. especially considering its breeding season, and you should be doing the complete opposite.. stop cutting corners and give them all the diet they need. breed responsibly.

Hes not an idiot, i think he knows how to feed his beardies.
And his babies are gorgeous by the way.

You should think before you type

um so should you, being 'gorgeous' has nothing to do with health.

he hasent, from what he has said. prepaired his beardies for breeding, or fed them well in the first place. this wasnt at all rude, it was a comment. far less rude, or narrow minded then 90% of his posts about feeding Llama's pets to snakes..

i beg to differ with you.

Yes i have heard of Variety, The female has been getting crickets and vegies, and each time she lays she gets a pinkie mouse. I am not cutting any corners, I like to swap diets from time to time. The quality of the offspring is just fine, but thanks for the input

This is after the breeding season. The breeding season has ended for my dragons. And Before I alter the diet, I made sure they are all tip top condition, The female is in great size, and health. I would not be feeding her on only vegies if she was still laying, or in the process of getting her condition back after laying.

Speaking of diet my new lil fella is an eating champion. Demolishing woodies and crix. Should i be putting veges in the enclosure just incase it feels the need for a feed on them. The crix and woodies get plenty of veges but yeah just wondering ....
