Hey guys I was wondering of anyone hadany advice about bearded dragons? I acquired a 3 month old dragon on Saturday,and can't figure out how to register on the dragon forums 🙈 I think she's okay just stressed, she's in a 4x1x1 ft tank until I can get a 4x2x2, the basking spot os 42 degrees C and the cool end is 29 degrees C, she's eating crickets and roaches, with a mealworm as a treat, tough she's yet to do anything but poop on her veggies xx

I don't own a bearded dragon, but I've been obsessively reading dragon forums for the past year. So let's see, They say that mealworms digest badly because of their skin, so you're best off not giving those. Superworms work better as treats, but only as treats for a healthy, normally growing dragon, because they're so fat. Make sure to only feed crickets whose maximum length is the distance between her eyes to avoid impaction. What kind of UV lighting do you have? Are you dusting the food with calcium and vitamins? Over at beardeddragon.org there is a big button on the left that says "register on forums". It should be easy enough, I did it last year lol (though I don't post). They have a very active and knowledgeable community that also has its own section for emergencies.

Whooo maybe my phone doesn't show the register button because ots mean, I'll try on a laptop yep al those things are done, it's a tube in light which stress the tank length, then a stationary hanging basking bulb, she also has like million hides and 4 different light platforms, so she's shouldn't get too bored though all she seems to do at the mentioned is run back and forth through the tube xx

Good Just the change of environment may well be a big source of stress. Hopefully she'll calm down when she gets used to your routines.
