Hey everyone.
Ok... I?m getting 4 central bearded dragon hatchies next week and I just want to make sure I have everything set up right... and maybe ask a few questions... :wink:
To start with, when I get them I?m not sure if I should put them in my 3ft tank or just a nice big plastic tub?? In the tank I have sand for substrate, water and food bowls, branches, rocks and lots of hidey holes... I've heard to start with it?s best not to have too much in their enclosure and also sand isn?t good for young ones... So that?s why I thought a tub with paper for substrate and few branches and hides in it would be better to start with... what do you think?
I have a uv light and a basking spot light? I have both rep-cal calcium and herptivite, I have Juvenile Bearded Dragon Food (but I think they will be eating more fresh food then pellets) I also have a colony of SFR (speckled feeder roaches) starting (which will be their main insect food source). I have electrolize supplement for their water and worm rid? Am I missing anything???
Oh and I will be getting a heat mat and thermostat for the SFR... which I can use with the hatchies if need be?
Cheers.
Take care. Have fun.
