Baby Bearded dragon :D

[m_beardie]

what should i feeed him?

wow,
do you think mine is big/old enough for cocroaches or meal worms
he is 12cm long and is eating 5-6 crickets with calcium a day...
the only problem is that he usually only goes for food that moves
so cocroaches and meal worms mayy work.. is he old enough though?

yehh i powder the crickets with whateva that powder is lol..

You're meant to feed your crickets the gutload, not dust them with it...lol

You dust the crickets with vitamin and calcium powder.

 

[m_beardie]

yehh i powder them with the calcuim..
where do u get gutload from>???

 

[m_beardie]

shedding

another question, how often do you think he will shed?s

I've only ever seen it come in little sachets with the tubs of crickets that you buy from the pet shops.

 

[m_beardie]

okk thanks
also, do u think i could feed him roaches and meal worms??

 

[m_beardie]

my bearded dragon looks like he is shedding twice in a row
like,, shed after shed straight away, is this normal for a 3 month old?

I get my gutload in a jar, it's made by Jurassi Pet, my calcium, vitamin supps and beardy pellets are all from the same company. Usually found in shops that sell reps.

 

[m_beardie]

so the stuff that comes with crickets IS calcium rite? because that's what i have been sprinkling them with lol
anyway,, should i be feeding ma beardy pellets as well? because he doesnt seem to eat anyting that doesn't
move. will he grow out of that? i hope he does cuz i dont want to have that problemm..

Thanks,

M

No, the stuff that comes with crickets is gutload which you feed the crickets with. Calcium you buy at the pet shop.
Keep offering greens such as dandelions,clover,etc & eventually he will start to eat them. My guys would only eat greens occasionally until they were about 12 months & now they eat them daily.You don't have to feed them pellets but it does make life easier if you run out of live food for them, just be sure to get the small pellets for baby beardies. A good site with lists of foods suitable for beardies is beautifuldragons.com.

I've bought crickets that come with a small bag of calcium. Just to clarify the calcium is a white powder, gutload is tiny brown pellets smaller than poppy seeds you get on bread rolls.

Try to get them in the habit of eating greens now as a juvy, my beardy only eats live food and because I got him as an adult it is very difficult to change his ways.

 

[m_beardie]

ok, ill try offering him more veggies. i have bought them wtih calcium as well.. but how do i feed crickets with gutload???

thanks
