Sexing Bearded Dragons & General Care

[Lovemydragons]

Yeah I'm hoping my little one is a boy, so my 2 girls have a boyfriend!!

I use paper towel at the moment. Easier to clean and can't cause any harm to my little man. Will probably wait till he's a little older and change to something else that looks better.

Don't use bark... 19.5cm is good.. mine are around 9-10weeks are 22cm (biggest)

Thanks for the tip

Reptile carpet or tiles are better.. you CAN use sand for adults though (or older juvies if you want to risk)

Thanks for the tip

Dave, what do you feed them.. can't wait until mine is a little bigger..

Reptile carpet... where do you normally get this?
What sort of tiles, like bathroom tiles?

Sorry this stuff is new to me.

I feed them what kirby feeds them (lol) They get some mealworms as treats (few every week or so) and they are stuck into greens (bulk of diet is still live though)

Reptile carpet from pet stores you can cut it to size

I keep them seperate.. that pic is a month or so old

the green stuff is the reptile carpet

You can see the tile on the bottom.. I think it was ceremic tile...

How did you get them used to feeding on greens?

I am growing my own organic dandelion.

He has just got used to eating out of a tub where I throw 1 woody in at a time so I am making some progress, and just ordered some silk worm eggs so when they are lttle juicy worms I will eb alternating the live food.
