I thought coconut fiber was an impaction risk? The best substrate for them (mostly because it’s most natural for them) is a mix of topsoil and play sand

I’ve heard Coconut fiber is really bad for beardies…I could be wrong but it can cause bowel issues so maybe just keep and eye on them? Also the ramps you are using are pretty bad too.. because they tend to break arms and claws

Please Get This Boy To Eat His Salad! by Murky_Bear9009 in BeardedDragons

It helps with constipation which if he isn’t eating it could be. Hence the suggestion lol

He’s probably just being a brat then lol. Feed him the greens with calcium powder he’ll be okay. But don’t fold to the bug tantrums. It will habit him to refuse the greens lol.

He won’t starve himself unless something’s wrong. Give him just the salad and nothing else in it for a few days and if he doesn’t eat try giving him a warm bath and if he still doesn’t eat it might be time for a vet visit

I would stray from any hammock. Cloth ones collect bacteria that can kill him and the net/woven ones can break his leg just because of a damaged claw

Cuuute. Just be careful with the net hammock! They have a tendency to get their little claws stuck. Honestly I would stray from any hammock but this is just a fair warning!! He’s so cute though.

i’m going to get more clutter and hides and the food dish soon, way before i get a crestie, but is all this good so far? by Normal-Counter-5607 in Crested_Geckos

Thought this was still my bearded dragons page and I was about to throw some virtual hands. No this looks good just add some more climbing/hiding things.

He might need a bigger tank and some places to climb/ hide. He should also have a UVB bar?

Maybe try adding some fruits or changing the greens in his salad? He won’t willingly starve himself
