I just bought a baby beardie and went to Petco to get some feeder insects and I asked what vegetables were the best to give them. The employee said we give kale to all of our beardies and they love it and it’s their main green leafy vegetable. I had just watched your video about kale being a calcium binder and thought whoa 😮
We got 2 adult bearded dragons about 6 weeks ago, male and female. I was told the male didn't like to be handled, but he bonded very quickly with me and I love him to death. He is super sweet and loves being petted, at least sometimes lol. Anyways, I really enjoy your videos, I really like that you point out to use multiple sources for caring for them, and I love when you say "the bee's knees", I haven't heard anyone use that in many, many years. Thank you for the helpful advice, looking forward to more videos!
When I first got mine petsmart told me a coil uvb was just fine, I had a book on caring for bearded dragons but didn’t mention what type of uvb was needed. After watching TH-cam videos on proper lighting and one day I came home to her being lethargic I ran up and got the tube uvb and she immediately perked up. Petsmart also told me 10 gallons was fine for her since she was so little. Thankfully I knew better on that subject to take that advice.
The pet store I got my beardie from also told me coil UVB was fine 😅 but I fixed that really quickly. It's so great that you did all the research and knew better!

I’ve watched a lot of your videos on bearded dragons and found them to be extremely helpful! I’m adopting on in about a week and I can’t wait! This will be my first reptile 😁
I actually double rescued my dragon about 4 weeks ago. I say rescued because the only thing the previous owners did right was the basking light, a way for it to relax under its basking light, which now needs to be upgraded, and the tank size. The "double" part comes in because it jumped off of me, because it was on my shoulder, and landed on the porch, where their cat (only hunts) had come up. Got a cat scratch, but I got lucky with no infections. Past that, there was no calcium, no protein, they only fed it greens (so no problems with its salad, though something is messing with its stomach) and calci-sand in the tank. Thinking about changing the tank to a terrarium in the future, but the aquarium is fine for right now, considering it is still 55G. I now need to check with my vet (cat and dog, both are older and chill with the dragon. Cat is curious but gentle! No unsupervised interactions.)
I buy all organic greens and multiple kinds collard green chard, romaine leafy greens,dandelion greens,and a few others I pre cut them every couple days and keep them in a glass container and put a paper towel on top it stays well, and they love them. I rescued them when they were babies, and one was missing a whole front foot😢,and the other missing toes😢.. now they are about 6 months old and looking great
The plastic spikes are amazing ideas...my fat cat busted the screen on the top of my crested/chahoua hybrid's temporary tank not long after I first got him and we came out to a tail flailing in the middle of the hallway. The gecko was still alive and I still don't know how I found him. Pure luck! I felt awful that he went through that experience - I'm so thankful he's still alive. I've heard of others with similar experiences. Since his father was a mainland chahoua his tail is slowly but surely growing back 💚🦎💚
This is the first time I herd the advice about cats. I can testify its true. We had our first bearded and a flimsy top didn't think much about it at the time .till one day we went in to the room the top knocked off and the the little guy was gone. Now all our enclosure have proper tops and no more cats.(never really liked cats anyways) Thanks for putting that out there.
Air conditioners! Omg when i got my air conditioner I had no clue, as a first time herp owner, that it messes with the temps ans humidity in a glass tank so much! It actuallly stsrted a premature brumation cycle in my beardie. I recommend not having a tank anywhere near an ac preferrably on the farthest side of fhe room or another room entirely. Oh and for salads hand feed! My drsgon has never had an issue with salad but I hand fed her so many different things including bugs she knows when i offer its normally food. Excellent video thankfully becauae of all my resesrch I avoided all these!
Oooh, very good point about air conditioners! And as for hand feeding - yes! That usually helps zsasz to start eating her salad. Definitely should have listed that.
Agree point about the air conditioner. It really does mess the temperature and humidity up.. but you learn from your mistakes and you do your best to grow from it .. what reptiles do u have ? X
Sand doesn’t cause impaction, calcium sand does. Tile is unnatural and hard on your bearded dragons joints. Use loose substrate! Bearded dragons live on sand in the wild, sand is natural.
Thank You for The information. I have a Adult Dragon ....My Son's Sister gave it up to Me. I am trying to learn as much as I can. Thank You so much & Thank You from Firey Infecty ( My Dragon)
OMG!!!! I was listening to this and your accent wondering if you were in Alabama or the south … then you mentioned ANIMAL TRAX!!! I just went there yesterday in Madison! I live in Holly pond - where are you from??
What are your thoughts on a hammock as a basking spot also I have seen many people have big water bowls that their dragons lay in and wanted to know if it’s a good idea
My thoughts on hammocks - it can definitely be a bit difficult to get the surface temp of a hammock high enough for basking without making the air temp too high. So usually they're not the best. Big water dishes can be fine, as long as it doesn't affect your humidity. So if you live in a drier part of the world, a big water dish may be fine - even necessary. That one just depends on individual circumstance
Loved this video! I actually took your previous advice about getting established with a vet before trouble and took my 4 months old beardie, Flash, last week and they actually found he had a tape worm! Question for u… the vet recommended cutting up Timothy hay real tiny and adding to his salad to help with soft, watery stool, have you ever heard of that before? Just curious. Btw thanks for the tank shout out! 🥰
My kiddo and I spent the last few months starting to watch your videos and seeing your products at Animal Trax- until I saw this one, I had no idea you lived in the area 🤣 Hey from Athens
1000 cricket sounds awesome but how the heck do you keep them alive? I buy like 20 and only half get used within a week thenrest are dead and i put the orange cubes in with them
My hatchling eats his greens, today he ate a couple pieces of collard greens out of my hands, I've had him for just over a week, and from my research it looks like he's about 1 month old, I'm going to give him his first bath today, hopefully lol
Agree 100% on your point about cats. I used to keep mantises when I was in college but when I got back home and ended up with two cats (whom I loved dearly), I didn't get another mantis or exotic animal after my last one passed naturally. I love reptiles and amphibians as well as mantises, but I'd never get one while having cats. No matter what people say about them, they have a natural instinct to hunt small prey. You never know if they're going to turn and seeing videos of them with reptiles and birds always makes me anxious. One of my cats, as a little kitten, slipped outside under our feet and came back 15 minutes later with a fledgling robin. We never taught her to do that and we found her when she was too little to do something like that. I never let my cats outside and they still find a way to bring me things. Mainly bugs, but twice they've killed rats the size of an adult beardie. I'd also say that it's a risk to own terrier dogs or other breeds bred for catching prey. I think the risk is smaller, but it's not something I'd chance either.
as someone that has always grown up with reptiles, birds, that sort of thing, typically the birds aren't really afraid of the cats and won't hesitate to peck the living hell out of the kitty if they try anything so you probably don't have anything to worry about bird wise.
Hi Elle, I just got a Bearded Dragon, and I was wondering how much salad should I give him? He is juvenile, but is big for his age. Also, could you maybe tell me what fruits are safe for him? Thank you for these amazing videos!!!
Not the expert myself but we give our about 7 month old dragon some collard greens and swiss chard as well as squash and blueberries. Also we found that putting some of the calcium spray or dust helps a lot! Also bee pollen once she finally did try a little bit of it. Avoid the citrus fruits for sure though! Berries are usually safe from what I have read
I have been very luck with the dragon I got October last year she eat salad Wright off the bat she gobbles it down even though I give her the bugs first.I Like feeding her variety of foods and she does love chasing her crickets good excuses for her. She gets the crickets, rouches, mealworms, waxworms, and green hornworms. Luckily I have great pet store locally I can get all of this from. I did start my only dubia roach colony and it is doing well. GOD BLESS and have a get Sunday.
I just got a female from someone and she’s 7 months old and I have been having a hard time getting her to eat worms she’ll eat dried crickets but she has only wanted to eat spinach.
Dead insects aren’t healthy for them, and spinach shouldn’t be fed regularly since it’s a calcium binder. Live crickets, roaches, silkworms, and black soldier fly larvae can be fed regularly. Mealworms, super worms, and hornworms can be fed occasionally. Good staple veggies include Collard greens, mustard greens, cilantro, squash, dandelion greens, rocket, and turnip greens. The more variety in their diet, the better!
I have a question, can you feed your bearded dragon earthworms. I've seen some videos on TH-cam about this but I don't believe everybody on TH-cam. I've been researching bearded dragons for about 6 months now and I've only got about 10 people that I watch because they do things the way I want to do them and you're one of them so I thought I would ask you thank you.
Hi Elle! I have a question about dubia roaches. What do you do when your dubia roaches grow too big? Should I pick out the big ones and put them into a different bin?
I've only had my dragon for a few days and hes only eaten a few crickets. He has just been chillin under the heat lamp. Is it normal when you first get them for them to not be that hungry?
No they are nit had for them . But they are not really needed .. Leopard geckos normally come out at night time .. they have excellent night vision too.. ref lights are normally used more for the owners to see them at night time..
Depends on the dog, I know somebody who had a Parrot for 25 years and had multiple dogs in that time with no issue. She fostered a dog for a rescue and within the first week the dog broke into the cage and killed the Parrot. She was absolutely devastated.
Hi! 😊 I use Bryan Animal Clinic on Stratford Rd for simple things (like parasite tests, basic checkups) but for anything more specialized, I use Riverview Animal Clinic in Birmingham, just because they have multiple reptile specialists there.
I have a question that I can’t find an answer for and hoping you could answer it. Why would my female bearded dragon be walking backwards a lot lately? Eggs maybe?
@@JPsPetNation Bearded Dragon He's about 9 months , I've tried strawberries , blackberries , squash , apples, banana . and probably a few more things I can't remember . He's starting to be picky with his greens .
Trust me on this one, take your beardie to the vet no more than a week after getting one! Unfortunately my beardie passed away from coccidia, because I didn't take him to the vet instantly. I was planning on taking him 3.5 months after adoption, and he got sick & passed away 3 months after adoption. I had the money to take him on time, but i decided to wait for covid restrictions to end so i could see what the vet was doing to make sure everything was done right. Don't wait, beardies are prey animals, and that means they usually won't act sick until its too late!
I really want a beardie but my family wants cats so it would have to be in my room which means I can’t sleep with the cats I know the plastic spikes are good but we would be getting a Russian blue cat which are super smart so I don’t want to take the risk
My cat tried to eat my hamster, so yea I get you lizard could taste like hamster or chicken. Thankfully I built my viv so it's strong and locked 😅 my beardie is safe 🔐
Josh's frogs has been pretty good to me. I've ordered from them for the last couple months and their cricket prices are about half off the ones at my local reptile center where I got my beardie
Hi there! I just watched your video for the first time. Such great information. Thank you for the extra education. One can never know everything when it comes to dragons. I've lost 2 dragons allowing someone to sit them while I was away. They did not know the proper care. Your video is PERFECT for beginner dragon owners or to share the next time I'm away and need someone to care for my baby. I do have a dragon now that I recently adopted...and ironically enough....I have a cat. One morning, I found her in his cage. She was on one side and he was on the other. Whew! I was lucky. My cat has been around dragons since she was a kitten....I believe that was my saving grace. I sit next to the 2 of them when they spend time together. I'm blessed that they get along. I NEVER leave them alone though. Thanks again for the information provide. So happy to come across your post. Cheers!
Thank you for mentioning the cat thing! I have two cats and just got a beardie.. definitely going to buy the spikes. I dont think there’s any way my cats can get in the tank but I don’t want to have that chance
What about dogs? I’m sure a Dog would eat a Bearded Dragon at any given chance as well. Some dogs might figure out how to get into the tank as well while your at work and it’s just the dog and the Bearded Dragon in the house alone.
At PetSmart large crickets actually got upped to .16 a cricket, then they go down a penny in increments of 36,51,76. Could be a regional thing, but wanted to throw it out there for people still not wanting to order online
Very informative videos, just got my baby girl bearded yesterday and I was able to instantly handle her. She’s very 🚨, she fell asleep on my twice yesterday already. I love it!!’
What does a sperm plug look like outside the body? I was quickly cleaning up poop as my beardie was nearly stepping in it. I recall seeing what kinda looked like a pink bubble (balloon ). Maybe the size of a pea. 🤷♀️I'm sorry I wiped things up before checking it closer. Please... Any reason for concern🙏🤷♀️
I have the opposite problem... rescued my bearded from someone who only fed him those green pellets and freeze dried mealworms.... ALL he will eat is green salads. Does not seem to want bugs, fruit, colorful veggies, nothing.
My Bearded dragon keeps "star gazing" I saw in one of you vids that it means he/she is sick and it cant be cured is thar a one hundred percent chance he's sick?
They're veneers. I had this genetic thing where my teeth couldn't whiten (under certain light it looked almost like maps on them). I was super self conscious about it, and I worked at a dentist office and they fixed it for me 😊
This isn’t related to the video but I need help with my beardie ive had her for 6 years she has a swollen toe and there’s a little hole on it I’m bringing her to the vet tomorrow but I’ve looked everywhere on forums and I can’t find a video on how to treat it or even what it is and if you’ve had this issue too please give me some info on how to treat it
I don’t know if this is the same but my friend has a leopard gecko and when he was shedding the shed got stuck on his feet and got infected some how and he was having trouble walking. Idk if this helps hope your beardie gets better 😊
i got a new bearded dragon a week ago, my older one passed away due to liver cancer and i was wondering if there is someone knows if something is wrong with my baby beardie? Hes 6 months old, born 20th of august and he refuses to open his eyes too much? He sleeps almost all day. Recently he started taking bugs and eats his salad but he doesnt take it from hand feeding or the tong only feed bowl. his temps are perfect i have a temperature gun to measure and my husbandry should be about right so does anyone have advice for me ??

Just got one less than a week ago and the same exact thing happened to me, i wish theyd educate their workers better
kale is acc low in oxalates compared to some other stuff and its fine to feed a beardy ofcourse it shouldn't be the only green you give them

You know your beardie really hates a fruit when they get defensive at them 😂
What do you feed 1000 crickets in order to keep them alive?
What about pet insurance? I see National offers it. Anyone have an opinion on if it’s worth it?
Iguanas are the pet Lizards that only eat fruits and vegetables right? Seems like an easier diet for a pet Iguana but heard iguanas get very big.

Not yet. But my wife went and got her a dig box and the right sand for her today just Incase.
@@wolfepackfishing what does her stomach look and feel like?
Looks and feels normal. Do you have an IG or Twitter I could maybe send you a video?

Trust me on this one, take your beardie to the vet no more than a week after getting one! Unfortunately my beardie passed away from coccidia, because I didn't take him to the vet instantly. I was planning on taking him 3.5 months after adoption, and he got sick & passed away 3 months after adoption. I had the money to take him on time, but i decided to wait for covid restrictions to end so i could see what the vet was doing to make sure everything was done right. Don't wait, beardies are prey animals, and that means they usually won't act sick until its too late!
I really want a beardie but my family wants cats so it would have to be in my room which means I can’t sleep with the cats I know the plastic spikes are good but we would be getting a Russian blue cat which are super smart so I don’t want to take the risk
I’ve tried everything I can find and my beardy won’t eat a single fruit or veg
My baby beardie is weird 😐...loves crickets...loves greens...HATES dubia roaches 😑
My cat tried to eat my hamster, so yea I get you lizard could taste like hamster or chicken.
Thankfully I built my viv so it's strong and locked 😅 my beardie is safe 🔐

SUPER_SUPER :)) ~sara~
My dude isn't really growing and I've had it for a few months now
What about dogs?
Her stuff is only about retiles
Sharktopus is real, I've got the proof!
35min drive to the vets. Hope thy don’t close.
Crickets are terrible. They die if you look at them funny
hello! ive had my beardie for 1 whole year now! you helped a lot throughout me and my beardies entire journey
Josh's frogs has been pretty good to me. I've ordered from them for the last couple months and their cricket prices are about half off the ones at my local reptile center where I got my beardie
It saves u a lot of money when u are feeding a lot of live food off. Josh is amazing and his live food is perfect and lasts
Hi there! I just watched your video for the first time. Such great information. Thank you for the extra education. One can never know everything when it comes to dragons. I've lost 2 dragons allowing someone to sit them while I was away. They did not know the proper care. Your video is PERFECT for beginner dragon owners or to share the next time I'm away and need someone to care for my baby. I do have a dragon now that I recently adopted...and ironically enough....I have a cat. One morning, I found her in his cage. She was on one side and he was on the other. Whew! I was lucky. My cat has been around dragons since she was a kitten....I believe that was my saving grace. I sit next to the 2 of them when they spend time together. I'm blessed that they get along. I NEVER leave them alone though. Thanks again for the information provide. So happy to come across your post. Cheers!
Thank you for mentioning the cat thing! I have two cats and just got a beardie.. definitely going to buy the spikes. I dont think there’s any way my cats can get in the tank but I don’t want to have that chance
What about dogs? I’m sure a Dog would eat a Bearded Dragon at any given chance as well. Some dogs might figure out how to get into the tank as well while your at work and it’s just the dog and the Bearded Dragon in the house alone.
Great concept sharing mistakes and possible solutions. I hope to see you expand this idea with other animals you have.
At PetSmart large crickets actually got upped to .16 a cricket, then they go down a penny in increments of 36,51,76. Could be a regional thing, but wanted to throw it out there for people still not wanting to order online
Very informative videos, just got my baby girl bearded yesterday and I was able to instantly handle her. She’s very 🚨, she fell asleep on my twice yesterday already. I love it!!’
What does a sperm plug look like outside the body? I was quickly cleaning up poop as my beardie was nearly stepping in it. I recall seeing what kinda looked like a pink bubble (balloon ). Maybe the size of a pea. 🤷♀️I'm sorry I wiped things up before checking it closer. Please... Any reason for concern🙏🤷♀️
I have the opposite problem... rescued my bearded from someone who only fed him those green pellets and freeze dried mealworms.... ALL he will eat is green salads. Does not seem to want bugs, fruit, colorful veggies, nothing.
My Bearded dragon keeps "star gazing" I saw in one of you vids that it means he/she is sick and it cant be cured is thar a one hundred percent chance he's sick?
That wasn't dragons my cats luv my dragins
First!
I think
What if they just won't eat the veggies or fruit? :0 like how can I feed thrm salads and stuff bc he only eats live things
I buy crickets from a bait shop 100 for 3.99
I think mine is sick she loosing wait and doesn't eat much an hasent poop her bone is faided in her legs an arms
I requested this video let’s gooooooo!!!!!
Pumpkin loves green beans.
How do you keep crickets alive?
My baby bearded dragon won’t eat why
What product do you use to whiten your teeth?
They're veneers. I had this genetic thing where my teeth couldn't whiten (under certain light it looked almost like maps on them). I was super self conscious about it, and I worked at a dentist office and they fixed it for me 😊
Thank you for a shoutout to our pet instagram! Great video.
You're very welcome 🥰
This isn’t related to the video but I need help with my beardie ive had her for 6 years she has a swollen toe and there’s a little hole on it I’m bringing her to the vet tomorrow but I’ve looked everywhere on forums and I can’t find a video on how to treat it or even what it is and if you’ve had this issue too please give me some info on how to treat it
I don’t know if this is the same but my friend has a leopard gecko and when he was shedding the shed got stuck on his feet and got infected some how and he was having trouble walking. Idk if this helps hope your beardie gets better 😊
Good morning Elle & Den. Thank you for the video I have made a few of these mistakes.
Good morning! And yea, so many people have!
i got a new bearded dragon a week ago, my older one passed away due to liver cancer and i was wondering if there is someone knows if something is wrong with my baby beardie? Hes 6 months old, born 20th of august and he refuses to open his eyes too much? He sleeps almost all day. Recently he started taking bugs and eats his salad but he doesnt take it from hand feeding or the tong only feed bowl. his temps are perfect i have a temperature gun to measure and my husbandry should be about right so does anyone have advice for me ??
What’s the basking spot surface temperature? Which specific bulb are you using for UVB? Where’d you get him from?
