Explanation:
The bearded dragon's environment typically should be pretty dry, but even though it needs a little water to bathe in, freshwater will be provided by a dish 3 to 4 times per week, in which it can both clean itself with as well as soak up water through its skin.
Food: According to some owners of Bearded Dragons, juveniles should consume 50% insects, 50% plants, vegetables, and fruit. Adult Bearded Dragons should consume around 25% to 30% insects and animal matter. The Beardie should only be fed one to two insects a day.
Food: You should feed Hatchling and Juvenile Bearded Dragons mainly feeder insects such as crickets two or three times per day. You should limit the amount of crickets given as there is always a risk of overcrowding and they can bite.
Food: A baby whose age is about 4 months and under should consume between 30 and 60 crickets daily over a period of 3 to 10 minutes. A baby between the ages of four months and one year should consume between 20 and 40 crickets over the course of two feedings. Once they have reached an age of one year, feed your baby one feeding a day of 10 to 20 crickets.
How much should a young Bearded Dragon eat per day: A young Bearded Dragon should eat between 30-80 crickets of appropriate size each day (smaller than the space between the Bearded Dragon's eyes). If you want your Bearded Dragon to live a long and healthy life, you should make sure to feed it twice a day at least during the first two months of its life. Between three and eight months of age, he/she should be fed three times a day.
Extra: Bearded dragons typically tolerate handling better than other lizards, so you should regularly handle them to help them get used to people. I recommend handling your bearded dragon a few times a day.
Extra 2: Be wary of giving a baby or a young dragon too many crickets, as that could cause the dragon to worry and become stressed, which is not healthy, and could cause the dragon to develop a fear of the bug.
How to know if they are mad :
When your beardie bites it is an obvious sign that he or she is mad and it usually occurs while you are handling them or they do not feel as comfortable as they should.
The beardie's common behavior when angry is hissing.
Bearding (Fluffing Their Beard.)
Head Bobbing.
Gaping (opening their mouth wider than natural.)
How to know if your bearded dragon is happy: This can be determined by the fact that they show trust and comfort behaviors. Generally, these behaviors include pressing against you, licking the surrounding air, coming to you, laying flat on you when you're near, and basking often.
Would it not be better to turn off the light at night for your bearded dragon:
Bearded dragons are simply not in need of light, red or otherwise, at night. Like any other lamp, this red light in your room will also end up disrupting your bearded dragon's sleep the next day. Just because your bearded dragon can see (and sense) extraneous lights, you may want to turn them all off.
Bathing: If you want to bathe your baby's bearded dragon, you just need to use dechlorinated tap water. Most bearded dragons love water and will enjoy having their own dip in it. Let the bearded dragon soak in the water for at least 15 to 20 minutes. According to what it will do is to soak it for the right amount of time, which will be especially beneficial to the skin, especially in cases when the skin is shed off.
How often should you bathe bearded dragons: In general, it is best to take two to three baths a week.
How long do they live for: Ownership of a bearded dragon, or “beardy” for short, is a big commitment since they have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years. Or even longer.
Pet acting weird: There are a few obvious reasons why a bearded dragon might seem "lazy" or lethargic. A poor diet, an improper living environment, and parasites within the bearded dragon all contribute to a bearded dragon that seems lethargic. A common issue is low habitat temperatures.
What does an unhealthy bearded dragon look like: Look for these telling signs that most commonly indicate an illness or issue of some sort: Not going to the b.a.t.h.r.o.o.m, lack of appetite, d.i.a.r.r.h.e.a, lethargy, wrinkled eyes, p.a.r.a.l.y.s.is, j.e.r.k.y movements, r.o.t.t.i.n.g skin, or lack of energy. If this is happening then take him to a professional pet doctor.
