You takin the piss :| How did you get the bearded dragon in the first place. I recomend you give away the bearded dragon to somebody who knows what there doing. And i mean fast...

[herpfan13]

I donr know who sold you that bearded but your not "supposed" to sell them untill their AT LEAST 6 weeks old and 6" long.........I would look into selling it to the nearest breeder or someone who knows how to take care of a young bearded

[monty bl python]

[mmichele]

well if its just a week old you cant expect it to be fat can you ? and you said you dont now how to feed it? i thought you said that you have another one. just feed the small one the same as the 5 month old;)

That pisses me off, and I see petstores doing that alot now. The Super Pet near my house, has 3 beardies for sale, they are all about 2 inches long. They look like they just came out of the egg days ago. I'm going to buy them all. They deserve a fair shake at life, not in some cramped pet store container.

Is anyone actually going to try to help this person? What an unfriendly bunch.

[Leolord]

Hey I'll help,
I dont have any but I know how to take care of them, beardies are pretty easy all you need to do is give it a dessert terarrium and a water bowl with a hidebox and give it baby crikets that are dusted they will grow REALLY fast. Your beardie should be good with just that and grow to be happy and healthy!

--Matt--:thumbsup:
P.S. Why cant you guys just tell him to take care of it? jeez

P.P.S. You should have read up on it first before getting it

P.P.P.S. Tell me how it goes!! PLEASE!!!

i looked up some info that may help
if he wont eat pin head crickets try using chicken or mango baby food
they even make a soft food at pet stores called "bearded bites"
hope this helps

ps sorry about my previous post i thought that you had carlessly bought one with out research hope that the info i found helps and again im sorry

[btk]

give it pin head crickets,, dusted of course twice a day, mist the sides of the tank with water mixed with electrodize d3. 85-90 degree heat on one side of the tank and he will do fine...the water dish is ok but some babies won't drink from it

[RangerSmitty]

Yeah, I had baught myself a baby bearded dragon.. like yours it cam from the petsop very unnorished and small. All I did for the first month till he got strength to chase crickets byhimself.....

I used a cricket tube... I put him in the middle of his cage with lots of room to move, use the cricket tube to manually feed him, I would tap a cricket at a time out right infront of him, he loved it, he got big fast and now he's an energetic little turd.

I dont suggest doing the manual feeding too much because then he get's use to it and will rely on you too feed him.
