Some of it depends on the age of the beardie. If young, make sure any live food is small enough for it. Meal works, crickets or even pinkie mice Here's a good recipe for a reptile salad. Basic Salad Recipe 1/2 cup shredded raw green beans 1/2 cup shredded raw orange-fleshed squash (such as acorn, banana, kabocha, spaghetti, and pumpkin) - you can occasionally alternate with carrots 1 medium or 2 small raw shredded parsnips (in areas where these are seasonally hard to find, you can substitute with asparagus or cooked or canned lima, navy or kidney beans that have been well rinsed and minced or mashed. If you use beans, add extra calcium to offset their high phosphorus) * 1/4 cup mashed/minced fruit (strawberries, raspberries, mangos, papaya, figs, cantaloupe, cactus pear) Alfalfa ** Multivitamin and calcium supplements * If parsnips are a seasonal vegetable where you live, you can use 1/2 cup shredded asparagus, trading off with 1/2 cup drained, rinsed, and chopped canned co

Congratulations on your new addition! The tank is sufficient for a juvenile, however you will likely need a larger one when Sonora is fully grown. Make sure Sonora can get into and out of the bowl easily to prevent drowning. Place thermometers in the enclosure to monitor temperature. You will need 3. One at the cool side, one on the warm side and one for the basking spot. Hygrometers can also be used to monitor humidity.

Yes, these can be fed to a bearded dragon. All prey should be appropriately sized, no bigger than the space between your beardie's eyes. Prey should also be gut loaded for 24 hours prior to offering and dusted with a vitamin and mineral supplement. The frequency of dusting depends on age. Some plant matter should also be offered. It should make up about 20% of the diet. Green beans, collard greens, escarole, squash, carrots, mustard greens, cantelope, raspberries and mango are just a few veggies and fruit that can be fed.

No. This is not normal. Juvenile bearded dragons are little eating machines. Check the temperature in the enclosure. Low temps can affect appetite in reptiles. Make sure prey are appropriately sized as well. Typically, you don't want to offer anything bigger than the space between the eyes. You can supplement the diet with Fluker's Repta-Boost. Find it in the local Petco. Offer greens in the morning, about 2 hours after the heat lamp turns on. You can sprinkle feed dried prey on greens to stimulate the appetite.

Confirm proper enclosure temperatures. Young dragons need warmer temps than adults. You can review care and feeding at the link below. http://www.anapsid.org/bearded.html Soak him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte for 20-30 minutes daily. This will provide warmth and hydration. be careful when feeding or administering water by syringe, you can easily cause him to aspirate fluids into his lungs which will cause respiratory infection. Fluker's Repta Boost is another supplement that can be used if the EmerAid is not sufficient. Submit a stool sample to your veterinarian to diagnose intestinal parasites.
