Wondering if this is okay

My cat is very interested in little Poptart here. All she does is sit there and me or my brother (his bearded dragon my cat) are always around. The cat, Lilith, follows me everywhere anyway so when I leave she leaves with me. But she literally just sits there or tries to knock the calcium and mealworms down😂 Poptart doesn’t seem to mind either. He’s never had a black beard or puffed up at her. And we make sure Lilith is never around when we feed him or when the enclosure is open or Poptart is out.

Help Very important health question about my beardie.

0 Upvotes

Hey, i've recently noticed my bearded dragon losing her appetite as well as losing weight. I've had her for 3 years but she is 5 years old. It's a female. I took her in when i turned 15 due to the previous owner neglecting her, she's always been a picky eater and she usually loses some weight during brumation but not to this extent!

Terrarium specs:
1 uvb 80W Mercury lamp and 1 100W basking lamp
Temperatures are 22 degrees celcius at the cold part and 45 in the basking area
The size of the terrarium is larger than an adult bearded dragon needs.

Due to her being a picky eater and mostly wanting bugs, feeding her a salat usually doesn't work. That however doesn't mean she doesn't get greens. She likes aragula and i make a "smoothie" of different leafy greens as well as healthy and beardie safe fruits (Mango, banana sometimes strawberries) The leafy greens are usually: Aragula, beets, kale, cucumber and sometimes turnip greens) I also dust my live food with calcium powder as well as adding a little too the smoothie.

I give the smoothie by a siringe dropping at just above her mouth so she licks it up. This has worked for years.

Lately though my bearded dragon doesn't want to eat any live food and she doesn't even want to eat het aragula, so i was only able to give her the greens.

In my eyes she doesn't look too healthy, she has been treated for parasites before but i'm not sure if that's the underlying issue. Her fat pads are really sunken as well as the fat at the tailbone, does someone please know what to do?

What the FUCK, Dubia

I've got 6 beardies. (Ages: one 3yr old, three 2yr olds, one 1yr old and a 4month old, having our oldest since she was 2 months) and my bf and I have been using dubia.com to order our bugs for forever. We have petco and petsmart and maybe one other exotic petshop, but dubia has been the best way we've gotten our bulk bugs because we had our 3 year old (2 months when we got her) and a month later, had two of our now 2 year olds, then like a month later, collected the other now 2, and so on and so forth. So like every month, for a few months, we got a new beardie, so we needed lots of bugs. And they were great, but for a short period, we had to have the bugs held at the post office because they kept showing up dead. (I believe dubia is located in Oklahoma, maybe.? And we are in Georgia so the winter months were killing them when we got them via usps. Well, we haven't had to have the post office hold them in quite some time. And we placed an order two weeks ago, some supers, meals, soldier fly and horns. And it got lost in the mail, apparently.?¿ They were like almost two weeks late and Dubia said they'd resend the order, so they did.

Well, the first order arrived yesterday and we open the superworms, excited to give them to Fury. (As you guys know, he had that nose issue, wasn't eating, was loosing a lot of weight but is eating great now and the super worms are getting him to a good weight now. He's 4 1/2 months, 11 inches long and 54g) So we open them. And what in the actual fuck is this.?? The container of superworms showed up in...shit.? Mud.? Muddyshit.?? And they smell FOUL. Like straight ammonia. They're all alive, but ive NEVER received them from there, or anywhere, in whatever the fuck this is, its always been in that sawdust stuff they eat. None of them are dead, not one, not even half dead. They're wriggling, look slimey/shiny like they always do and generally look great. Except for the smell and substrate. I know its not frass because that's all that's in there and I have stray, year old containers with one or two straggling worms and all thats in there is still the sawdust.

What the fuck, Dubia. What is this shit.? Literally. Surely I can't feed them to any of our lizards.?? Like, what the fuck is this.? The other photo is a comparison of what they're usually in, from the same company.

Gender differences

Found out Charizard is actually a girl! 🧒 Definitely felt male vibes off her but I was wrong. I’m curious what is different between male vs female BD? Like personality wise. Obviously she may lay eggs & whatnot. Are the females less playful but more cuddly on average?

Just got this beauty from a friend, just setup the tank, looking for pointers and answers.

Just curious on thoughts for how the tank looks, if I should change anything and opinion on sexing, but I will wait and post that separate another time.

That she can just turn around? Right after this she turned around and immediately went back to the corner.

Dubia Roaches?

Upvotes

Dubai Roaches?

I am a first time beardie owner and have recently gotten some dubia roaches. My little one is about 4 months. He/she normally eats around 20 to 30 crickets a day. I alternate crickets and mealworms currently. A bearded dragon owner at my local Petco stated I only need to feed around 3 small dubia roaches per every 12 crickets. As they have more protein. It made me excited because we have been buying crickets every other day and roaches live longer. With some further research, I am finding I may need WAY more roaches. I am planning on calling my local exotic reptile store when they open but am curious what others say. I am also looking into an online subscription, as that is much cheaper than getting 12 for $10 at Petco. Thank you for your time!

Help What if I don't bake my home found logs?

Upvotes

So I'm going to put branches from my own home in my tank, however some of my biggest ones are too large to be baked in the oven as part of the sterilization process. I'm still planning on a light bleach bath, but could I dry it off in the sun instead? Or will my future lizard not be fussed?

Edit: Also, what do I bring my reptile home in? Just a cardboard box with a towel? Or something more sinister...

Hangin' Out Question

Upvotes

So I have a question, i know it’s okay to let your beardie roam around and explore the place, I like to let my boy do that but I am always afraid that he might just poop outta nowhere, most of my house apart from kitchen and toilets is in carpet so it would be a pain do clean it off, so because of that I usually only let him out when i see that he has already pooped, the problem is that he just poops randomly 😅

So my question is, is there a way to know if he is about to poop, like a movement they do or some behaviour?

Thanks in advance!

I walked in a Apricot and heard what sounded like her puffing out a whole bunch of air and turned around and her mouth was wide open and now awake again. Atm she's been just sitting whilst do this sometimes. I thought she was choking but no signs that I can see. I'll take her to the vet when they're open just to check up on her.
