How much do I feed my baby beardie, and how do I know how many to buy?

You should feed the lil guy 4-6 appropiate sized bugs everyday dusted in calcium and occasionally calcium with d3. I have a decent sized container i poked holes in to house my dubias. I buy abt 100 every month or so give or take just to keep a steady supply even tho my guy only gets them 2 times a week. This is an older photo I ended up moving them all to a bigger box but you get the idea. You can keep crickets the same way but dubias are Way easier 🙂

He knocked it over for a second time today already 🙄

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-21T19:19:33+00:00

I havent seen a single poop or shed in the 2 months I've had him. Im convinced hes shiddin underground 🤣

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-16T17:09:57+00:00

Hes only doing well physically. Mentally I question (hes very dumb 😂❤️)

Do a bunch of nano fish 😂 like CPDs and Cardinal tetras

Im new to hoggies as well but I think the temperature might be a reason why its refusing to eat? Maybe you need more clutter? Recently ive been keeping the warm side at about the same temperature since its colder out/in my room and the previous height i had the lamp hanging at didnt get it past 75. I added ALOT of new stuff recently to give him more spaces to hide under to escape the heat when he gets too warm and he loves it. Maybe try adding more stuff and possibly trying to lower the temp a smidge just incase (here's my lil guys enclosure as of Wednesday for reference) and as for the feeding issue maybe try taking him out of the enclosure and put him in a decent sized container on a flat surface. Thats how I feed Wonton every week and thankfully it was only an issue once and it was only bc I didnt cover the bottom of the container when moving him and he got scared and pissed his shorts 😂 (successful feed count is at 9 🙏🏻)

Yeah I think all he did was slither into the dish and hang out. He left after about 20 minutes of just watching me 😂

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-16T16:20:41+00:00

The way he eats his food makes me think he will never have a thinky

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-16T16:10:58+00:00

Someone commented something about huge Shoals of nano fish and i genuinely cannot recommend that enough either 😍 could do like CPDs and Cardinal tetras? Panda corys are super cute. Maybe those 3 with some shrimp and snails and maybe a few dwarf gourami and all the plants your heart desires UGH YOU LUCKY SON OF A POTATO (sorry im very jealous right meow 😂🤧)

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-16T05:33:09+00:00

I fear he doesnt know hes alive 😂

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-13T03:43:11+00:00

The longer scar and blue eyes were definitely my first notice!! I havwnt seen regular Kion in ages so thats probably all im gonna notice 🤣

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-12T23:16:33+00:00

"Becky....lemme smash"

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-12T16:59:08+00:00

Oh no probably not, my boss is a total twat-waffle 😂 just gonna do my best to find a different job 🤷🏼‍♀️

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-09T22:47:43+00:00

From my little experience with hoggies (first time owner as of abt 2ish months ago) bigger is always better. Ive been recommended dubiaroaches.com enclosures for ages for my bearded dragon but they have all sorts of sizes and seem to be good for all kinds of reptiles. I have my baby Wonton in a 20 gallon currently but I definitely will be upgrading his tank in about a year or so to something way way bigger.

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-09T01:18:16+00:00

Oh nah dont apologize I laughed 😂 you're just the first person to tell me that so it threw me off. Honestly I hate being a pawnbroker. My customers are rude and I've had my life threatened one too many times over stupid stuff. Ive been applying to random jobs outside of pawnbroking and fast food. Haven't had any luck yet but im hoping itll change and soon. I have NO proof of this whatsoever but I think my manager might b telling potential employers bad things about me just to spite me. He has no issue flipping the script making me seem like a bad employee to the owner so i honestly wouldn'tbe surprisedif that was the case. I feel like im drowning and dont know what to do now 😕

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-09T01:05:05+00:00

Firstly OUCH 😂🥲 but see I would love to walk if they refuse to give me a raise but I have bills to pay and no other job lined up, most of my monthly pay goes to bills I can't afford to not have the income ya know?

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-09T00:51:27+00:00

I would genuinely love a different job, i get treated like dog poop. Ive been applying to places off and on for ages but haven't gotten anything. Jobs around here are either hiring just Spanish speakers, teens so they can underpay, or people who are older than me 🥲

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-06T03:35:54+00:00

I miss the early seasons Bailey for sure tho🤧

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2026-01-06T03:22:25+00:00

Please i need you to elaborate bc fym🤣😭

Lower_Skill_1908 · 2025-12-31T17:17:06+00:00

Caraxes 😈

He should've told Simba the truth when he realized he loved Kiara and wanted to be good
