    Had my Beardie 12 years and he’s still going strong. I live where they occur naturally so he lives in his enclosure outside. No heating devices or lights. Gets afternoon Sun. Hibernates all winter so only eats 8 months of the year. Caterpillar or snails as protein (from the garden) and flowers/veggies for plant matter. In summer temp gets to 40c/104F so I put him in a bucket in the shade. In winter the temp gets down to as low as 1c/34F. He stays in his enclosure and sleeps for months. I see temperature ranges recommended for these animals that are not at all what they are exposed to in the wild. BUT I would not recommend my way over what Wicken’s is saying. It’s just interesting.

One is a little on the -do, not touch me side & the one she gave me, which is a three-legged sweet, sweet girl. She is awesome! I'm worried that I'm not going to give her what she needs to thrive but the basics are covered. She's got night and day lamps, her main heat lamp, both stumps she loves to climb and rest on & her cool side with another climb area, plants, food & water. She loves to be held. Learning as I go. & these videos are going to be a big help! ❤ ❤ ty

    Great video! We tried rehabbing a beardie about a month ago. He was 8 years old and was in a 20 gallon tank. He lived off of pellets. Unfortunately he was severely dehydrated and ended up with an impaction and aspirated two days after a small bath. Since then we got another beardie as a surrender and he's thriving! I do encourage people to search for those who want to surrender because they're out there. I had five people willing to just give theirs away because they couldn't handle the responsibilities. My son now wants to make it a job to help rehab beardie and get them to health.

    @danime4288 Год назад +30

    Beardies are such lovely animals! It's great how they respond and interact with us humans. Before getting a bearded dragon it is important to know, that they do brumate (winter rest) and what you have to do to give them the right condtions for brumation. It is important for their healthiness. First time my beardie brumated, I was so scared - although I knew they would do so. I checked on her every day and night to see, if she was still alive 😅 But it's okay and no big deal once you know, what to do.

    • @danime4288
      @danime4288 11 месяцев назад

      ​@@michaelraines3465 hi, I don't know at what age they start brumation. I always get grown-up rescued animals. But I always let them decide, when they want to go into brumation. They live free in our room, so I clearly get the signs when they get less active and eat less and lesser. It is important that their intestine are empty when they brumate. If Beardies live in a terrarium, you shorten the illumination time of their UV/lights week by week. There are many websites in the internet to look at the details. I always look at several pages, because some information can differ from website to website. I hope everything was coherent, because english is not my first language 😅 Sending hugs into the US 😊

    My daughter and I have four beardies between us. Two are missing the ends of their tails, a foot and some toes. The other two have varying degrees of MBD. She owns three and I have one. They are all amazing characters! We spoil them rotten after their rough start in life. If you can, adopt a rescue. Our local reptile store got these and we took them in. Just wanted folks to know even if one is missing a foot or is stunted, they still are full of personality.

      I hate that pet stores are allowed to sell animals and this poor bearded dragon missing pieces is one of the reasons. Glad this animal has been blessed with an owner who cares enough to do research on proper care and husbandry and obviously loves them very much.

      @@kerseykrewzoo it's a good small shop, and I'd rather that they did sell them then kill them for missing bits. He has amazing set ups, with each animal being given more space then they need. His dragons have all been well handled since birth and she lives her salad as much as her insects. He has chucked bits in for free, so when we got the bits to set up the tank he gave us food bowls and rocks free. Then when we got her he gave us a weeks supply of bugs free as well. He is knowledgable and was happy to answer any questions no matter how silly they seemed. At least we didn't get her from pets at home as they had no clue on what they needed.

      @@lizlilliman3644 Ohhh okay. I thought you got her from one of the big chain pet stores. The smaller, privately owned shops are usually more knowledgeable and able to give you bundled deals and such. All my animals are rescues except for 2 ball pythons I'm waiting for good weather to ship them home. I take in unwanted and/or deformed animals that most people don't want because I believe they deserve a chance at a happy life, too. 😊

    I'm always willing to learn and I adore these videos! I've been keeping many species over the years, but never a beardie until now. I work as the head vet tech at a local shelter (I also work in emergency and specialize in critical care and stabilization) and a beardie was surrendered to us. She was in a house fire (with a bunch of other small animals), left behind for 2 days - the fire department didn't find her until later. She was already improperly kept in a 20 gallon with a coil UVB, anorexic, with inappetence and severely dehydrated. She was young and still had time to correct the issue.. It's not usual that we get reptiles at the shelter and no one to foster her. I became a beardie enthusiast overnight, and put my nursing skills to the test.. I was 80% sure she was not going to make it, and I would have to make the call for humane care. BUT She went from 79 grams to now a whopping 220 grams. Eating up a storm, all these salads, crickets, silkworms I've been giving her. All the supplements! Her transformation has been so amazing. Her personality has come right out. She frequents my hospital to meet my coworkers and puts a smile on everyone's face. Yes I adopted her shortly after her arrival, and she's my pal.
