One tip worth adding is that if you have a dragon with metabolic bone disease that doesn't want to eat, is asking yourself if the tank is too big. I kept my eldest beardie in a 55 gallon, and the disease affects his legs and tail (though the tail could be unrelated but he's a rescue so we aren't sure) and I tried many different methods to get him to eat, all of them failing. He didn't eat for 3 months, and even if he ate one worm it was cause for celebration since he refused to eat greens at the time. I came across a video where I learned that metabolic bone disease was a thing, and it was suggested that downgrading the tank may help, since it's stressful on the beardie to move around in a large space when either it's unnecessary or just very difficult. Taking this advice proved to be the solution for me, moving him into a 20 gallon long certainly reduced the space he could move around in, but there was immediate improvement, and he's now eating regularly, and eats greens too
My BD did not eat for a year after laying eggs. I have complete lights and i always give her a warm bath every day. What's happening to her and what are the solutions😔
I loved the video! My dragon is a very good eater but I decided to watch anyway. He eats a big salad and some feeder insects ( normaly super worms or crickets but I hope to start a dubia colony soon ). I have a temp gun and a good uvb light!
Always look forward to your new videos.. Have learned A LOT from you and lizard guru to the point I feel very comfortable with my baby beardies... THANKS!!!!
Thank you!! I just got my baby two days ago and she’s only 2 months old. I been stressed out now I have fed her a super worm yesterday , today she had 2 meal worms and a black fly larvae. She has three hides and I been stressed out 😢
What bulb set up would you recommend for a tall tank 18”? We’ve got a uvb bulb, basking lamp and ceramic bulb but I feel like it’s not reaching the lower part of the tank. Not to mention there’s not much space up top to fit all the housing units. My guys not eating much
So important I think this is a huge source of stress for bearded dragon owners since beardies are supposed to eat basically every day. On another note your hair is beautiful! Do you do anything special? Your curls always look so pretty 😆
my beardie has been with us for a few months now, and almost immediately when she got home, she got a parasite. we got her medicated and everything was fine. then she caught the same parasite and we got her medicated again. in the present day, we confirmed the virus yet again, but the breeder said not to medicate her because she may get overmedicated. my mum is basically panicking, and me and my family really just dont know what to do. all i can tell is: she has a virus, and we have a dog and i have a little sibling. i'm not sure if we should just give up or not. can you give u s advice?
I cant wait for my new uvb light to show up today my beardie hasnt been eating much and has been having eye problems pretty much everyone said its the uvb light so hopefully this new light fixes the problem and my beardie can finally eat those crickets so they stop chirping at night
My male beardie is 9 months old now. I've been starting to worry because he only eats once every few days now. He has no interest in bugs(roaches) and actually seems to want to escape his feeding tub when its feeding time. I can occasionally get him to eat a bite or two of collard greens. Hes still active and runs all over the place. This has been going on for the last couple of weeks. Any ideas or tips?
My beardie is about 4 months old and has been mostly sleeping in her basking spots for the last 2 days and isn't eating. She is also going through a shed is this normal? What time frame should I worry about not eating and being so sleepy?
I love your videos and just bearded dragons I love bearded dragons and I like learning about them I watched all the dragon videos on UA-cam all the time
Well my bearded dragon she was eating 2 days and now yesterday and today she has not ate I always give her crickets, giant worms and dubia roaches or is it because I keep feeding her dead crickets and worms? I will buy a ne UBV light this week her basking is at 100 to 95 degrees, or she could be reproducing eggs by herself without the male idk she don’t want to eat😢
I just bought my beardie on Sunday and she’s only eaten maybe 7-8 meal worms and 2 crickets since I’ve had her. She’s still small and I’m worried she’s going hungry. Her basking spot is always at 112. She’s in an exo terra large wide 75 gallon tank.
Curious to how your beardie is doing ? I got one Friday, He ate 12 crickets that afternoon it’s now Sunday and he hasn’t budged :/ any advice?? I tried waxworms already (pet smart worker suggested)
@@Me-uf7vk hey! So, my dragon just needed time to get adjust and adapt to her new environment. After the first 1.5 week, she got more comfortable and her appetite ramped up. I also handled her a lot and hand fed her to get her used to me and be comfortable. Apparently, my dragon does NOT like wax worms or crickets. I read that Dubias are the more nutritious food for dragons and more ideal. Once she had a taste of dubias, she ate like crazy!!! It’s her favorite. She goes through 200 dubias a week. But I would say, to try dubias (I’m 100% sure that yours will eat it), handle yours a lot, make sure that the temp is at 115-130. And appropriate UVB lighting. I read that if it’s not hot enough, they will also not eat. Also, if yours isn’t a water drinker, put them in a warm bath for 15 min and they will eventually drink from there. Please keep me updated!
Hi, thanks for the video. Our beardie is about 2 months old. Have owned him for about 3 weeks and he shedded his entire back. He has not had anything to eat for about 1 week now. Is this normal during a shed? We noticed his tail and hind legs are shedding too. He looks thinner and is lethargic and not wanting bask. Is this normal?
I live in nw pa. Had my juvy beadie outside to catch some rays. The lil shit ate a white n black fuzzy caterpillar b4 I could stop him. Is he gonna b ok?
Ok i got a baby beardy got a 40gal. Tank starter kit from petco but found that the kit is wrong like the sand and no i didn't use the sand but also got a half log but would you use sand stone, "sanitized to remove outside parasites and other bacteria or different type of rocks?

Hi I’m a new owner of a baby bearded dragon I’m having issues with keeping the temperature and humidity at the right spot and idk how to fix, I’m pretty sure this is the reason why it’s not eating can you give me some advice on what to do please
@@Big_AlMC what that was for months ago we found out it was because of the new cage he had been in a 40 gallon for 4 years before I got him so don’t act like your a animal expert.
Gave my beardy his first hornworm a couple days ago, and he was so freaking happy
Pretty great as snacks and not the main feeder insect, always pick a few up for my girl around holidays.

@@lloydandreiesporlas7909 You shouldn’t bathe her every day
Warm bath and belly rub is a go to if my buddy hasn't pooped in 3 days. It has NEVER failed. Works EVERY time.

The window tip was exactly what I needed. I got instant results when I moved my dragon's enclosure away from the window.
Thank you!! I just got my baby two days ago and she’s only 2 months old. I been stressed out now I have fed her a super worm yesterday , today she had 2 meal worms and a black fly larvae. She has three hides and I been stressed out 😢
Super worms are for adult bearded dragons not baby
I love my temp gun it's so easy to us. I missed Wednesdays show will look for it today and watch it. GOD BLESS and thank you for all the great advice.
Great job as always! You are an amazing and very helpful person! I'm grateful for your content and fantastic attitude!!!
Thank you so much! 🥰
I got my first beardie yesterday I was sacred he was eating but he is very chill he allows me to pick him up with no stress lines or black beard
Good morning Elle, hope you have an amazing Sunday.
Thank you! I hope you have a wonderful Sunday as well 😊
@@ellesreptiles thank you 🙂
Love the bloopers at the end. Love the videos and I learn so much from them.
I have the shirt. Tree of life from Into the AM. Great stuff.

I have a Question about the lighting in your room can it affect leopard geckos in any way?
No just make sure lights aren’t bright near cage at night
My beardie will only touch her bugs... I've tried to get her to eat her veggies but she refuses to eat them.

NO HEAT, NO EAT!
Do you know any vets in New York City?
Hi I’m a new owner of a baby bearded dragon I’m having issues with keeping the temperature and humidity at the right spot and idk how to fix, I’m pretty sure this is the reason why it’s not eating can you give me some advice on what to do please
I’m having this issue with my bby , did you get any useful advice ??
What about juveniles? I’m guessing you adjust the heat towards the adult spectrum?
Yep! 😊
how much does a bearded dragon cost
Up to 200 dollars
The pet itself costs 60-70 the tank costs 100 or 200 depending on size
I spent 1500.00 and still spending. Bulbs, large enclosure, uvb costs way more than I thought. Includes $400.00 dragon.
I just got him in a new 120 gallon tank he’s hasn’t eaten in 8 days please tell me what to do
Stop buying animals

@@Big_AlMC dude stfu stop being toxic and annoying
I’m literally freaking out like it is skinny and it won’t eat the worms around em even when I put it near its mouth 😭
Please always take your pet to the vet if you're concerned. It sounds like your bearded dragon has parasites.
@@ellesreptiles ok 👍🏾 I’m tryna see what vet takes exotic animals
