[post_content] => Bearded dragons might need some extra help to regulate their body temperatures in the summer. The daytime temperature on your beardy’s basking rock should be between 95° and 110°, never exceeding 115° F. The cool side of the habitat should be 77°-85° during the day. At night, you should reduce the temps to 55°-75°. They can’t sweat or shiver like mammals do- they need the sun to keep them warm and shade or water to cool them back off. A few strategies for keeping the enclosure cool include rearranging heating elements and hides, misting and bathing, and climate controlling the room your beardy is in. For all the details, check out our full write-up here.

[post_content] => If you’re looking for a quick answer on how much to feed your beardy, it’s just not that simple. There is a lot to take into account, including your pet’s age and the other things you’re feeding it. One of the critical things to know about what, and how, bearded dragons eat is that their diets change as they get older. Juveniles are much more carnivorous, chowing down on protein and energy-rich fat to promote growth. Another thing to know is that the size of your feeders should change with your pet. The rule of thumb for picking out feeder insects is that they should be as long as the space between your beardy’s eyes. For all the details, check out our full article.

[post_content] => My white tree frog, Zelda, refuses to eat while my other frog, Slippy, keeps eating Zelda's food. I got Zelda a yesterday and tried feeding her then and now. I have tried tong feeding and just dropping crickets in and she just sits there while Slippy either steals the cricket off the tongs or eats the ones around Zelda. I'm really worried that Zelda isn't eating. Do you maybe know how I can get her to eat and how to feed two frogs in the same tank? (The picture is of Zelda)

[post_content] => Mealworms are one of the most popular options for exotic pet owners, but are they any good for bearded dragons? The short answer is yes, but there are always better (or more complete options). Bearded dragons need lots of things to make sure they have a balanced diet and no single feeder insect will keep your beardy healthy on its own. For the long answer, you need to look at what beardies need to stay healthy, what mealworms can offer, and how you can build a balanced diet for your bearded dragon. Check out our full write-up for all the details.

[post_content] => Bearded dragons aren’t the most expensive pet out there. But you don’t want to cheap out and potentially risk your beardy’s health. The first thing you need to get is your bearded dragon itself, which can range from $80 to over $1,000 when buying from a reputable breeder. Then you need to factor in the cost of a habitat, care, and feeding. Check out our full article for the total calculation.

[post_content] => It’s natural to see a juicy-looking bug outside and think “I bet my bearded dragon would love that”. In the wild, you’re probably right. But it’s important to remember one key thing: nature is full of danger, and that’s why you should never feed wild insects to your pet. The biggest and most obvious problem with wild insects is that they carry parasites. Crickets are also prone to a whole host of diseases, some of which can be passed on to reptile pets. For the full details, check out our write-up on wild feeding here.

[post_content] => A lot of people still don’t realize it’s possible to buy insects by mail, but we ship thousands of crickets and superworms by mail every week. Insects ship well- they don’t mind dark spaces and can survive the transit time it takes to get to you on a few slices of potato. Once they get to you, you’re going to need a place to put them and a few things on hand to help them get their physical health back to normal. First, you need a container to keep them in. If you’re going to be starting a colony, you might already have a container set up for them. Otherwise, our simple solution is to use a five gallon bucket. For all the details, check out our full article.

[post_content] => There is an overwhelming amount of information out there about everything reptiles need. But in reality, it isn’t that complicated. One of the main things you need to know about the bearded dragon’s diet is that it changes with age. Juvenile bearded dragons need a higher concentration of insect protein. As they age, they will switch off to a mostly vegetarian diet with some insects mixed in. In general, your bearded dragon should have anywhere from 3-10 or more insects per feeding, depending on their age, and the size of your feeders. For more information, check out our full write-up on building a healthy diet for your beardy.
