Hey mate, bearded dragon owner from Australia here. Just want to give you a few tips... Firstly, get rid of the sand it's not good for them, it can cause gut impaction, it gets dirty really quickly and absorbs moisture like crazy. Astroturf or something similar would be a good substitute but also be aware that where bearded dragons live in the wild isn't just sand, there's also soil, logs, rocks, leaves, twigs and scrub where the eastern & pygmy dragons live. They don't just live in arid sandy wastelands - unless they're the central bearded dragon. My dragon lives in a 2.2 cubic metre outdoor enclosure (7.7 cubic feet or 575 gallon), I bought a large guinea pig hutch and converted it, swapped some wood panels out with fine wire mesh so he gets fresh air and natural light, there's an enclosed shaded area and a small log for him to cool down in, some driftwood from the pet store, a couple of flat rocks to bask on and a shallow water container for him drink out of/soak in (cleaned daily of course) so he automatically thermo-regulates himself and has plenty of room to scoot around, burrow, dig and climb. During the bullshite searing hot summer days he only gets morning sunlight then he's kept in the shade until later in the afternoon after the sun is low enough so he doesn't get cooked, we don't get snow where I am just frost in winter but his enclosure has wheels so I bring him inside during winter nights to keep him warm enough and his substrate is organic basic bark mulch with a little soil mixed in. It doesn't stick to him and he can't ingest it but it's good rougheage for helping him shed his skin. He mostly eats crickets or wood roaches (woodies) every other day the rest of the time he gets a varying mix of carrots, strawberries, blueberries, dandelions, a spinach leaf or 2 sometimes, broccoli, banana occasionally, bok choy, green beans and some hard boiled egg. I add a PINCH of calcium & vitamin powder every other day for good measure. DO NOT FEED MEALWORMS. Also, your tank is faaaar too small even for one dragon, 4ft x 2ft minimum is what you need for 1 dragon. They can co-habitate if they're a breeding pair or possibly if they're kept like that as babies into adulthood, but generally not a good idea keeping them in the one enclosure. You do need to feed yours more and separately to make sure they get an equal feed, they look too skinny here. But you're on the right track and have the right idea just a few changes need to be made.
thy also eat crikets
*PLEASE REALIZE. MY CARE HAS DRAMATICALLY CHANGED SINCE THIS VIDEO. I HAVE NOTICED THE COMMENTS OF EVERYONE SAYING "NO MEALWORMS NO MEALWORMS!!". I STOPPED FEEDING ALL MEALWORMS AND NOW DO SUPERS. I ONLY USE SAND FOR ADULTS. MY BABIES ARE KEPT ON PAPER TOWERS AND OR REPTI CARPET DEPENDING ON WHAT I HAVE A AVAILABLE. PLEASE CHECK OUT MY NEW CHANNEL AS I HAVE *COUGH *COUGH* ABANDONED THIS ONE FOR SOMETHING MORE ORGANIZED AND NICER. THERE IS A COUPLE OLDER VIDEOS ON THIS CHANNEL WHERE MY CARE ISN'T GREAT. I AM AWARE. PEOPLE COMMENT ABOUT IT, I MIGHT NOT REPLY, BUT I LISTEN. I TAKE CARE VERY SERIOUSLY. THANKS FOR THE CONCERN.

undergroundgeckos ok
undergroundgeckos make another video please
undergroundgeckos try feeding them crickets with calcium
undergroundgeckos why no meal worms???!!
undergroundgeckos
Debia roaches are better for the dragons and if you make a colony it's quite and doesn't smell trust me they are the best hope you start getting into them 😋
Aaahh, I love this! Happy family you have!
Also theres alot of helpfull advice here. But you seem to be a great owner that really love your beardies!🦎🌿🥰
wow a lizard video with violin dubstep. I definitely see the connection.
Literally the cutest thing ever.
Please seperate your beardies that tank is suitable for ONE NOT FOUR BEARDIES
very informative video. i just have to say that the uvb shouldnt really be turned off in the evening, just keep them on until lights out.
Very polite fellows! A nice daily meal with a bunch of friends.
I honestly wish you people would stop, hating this lady, for LITTLE STUFF,
i'm not saying the dubstep is bad im just saying it is weird in a lizard care video
IKR
Y'all petty....
That is so cute. I love bearded dragons. I am 12 and I am getting a bearded dragon soon. You have alot of bearded dragons.
mine is around 10 ,11 months old and has never ate anything other than mealworms and crickets I offer him greens and fruit bit he just takes a blind eye to it
Great video for baby Beardies
Thanks for giving me and my family some information because we are getting a baby bearded dragon
This honestly demonstrates what mostly not to do
I am thinking of buying a baby bearded dragon,I have a few questions I
would love to be answered.
1. What's the littlest size tank they can live in?
2. What do I feed them daily?
3.can I feed them veggies one part of the day and then crickets or that
food you recommended on your site later that day so I'm feeding them twice?
4.Do I HAVE to feed them mice?
Don't worry about what people are saying... I feed my dragons mealworms.. and they thrive. I also don't feed them greens as they don't really eat that type of food in the wild. You're doing good keep up with what you're doing
Simtexx you apparently don't know how to take care of dragons. They need greens and mealworms can make them either impacted or constipated and could kill them! Do your damn research
Martha Bargo Yo, what did you just say....? Pineapples bitch. Please dont
Simtexx you should get rid of your beardies, do your research.
Simtexx I rlly feel bad for your dragons I wish they could have a better home...
Is this a good schedule to keep an adult bearded dragon on?
Bearded dragon eating schedule

*correction* Only the basting spot surface temperature should be 95-110. If your whole beardie tank is 110F, I wouldn't be surprised if he's a BBQ. Your background temperature of the tank should be around 80F. With Gradient temps. Which means you need a warm side ( your basking light at one end ) and a cool side ( the opposite end of the tank away from the heat of the basking light, usually where I put my UVB bulb )
Thanks I needed this info!! :)
You are correct. My friend had the entire tank at 1 temperature under the UV bulb and fried her green iguana.
105f is too hot to bask. more 90f than that.
vegetation is only necessary for indigestion and they dont actually need it, but is good to have every couple of days
Around 3:04, I think that bearded dragon needs to be held more proparaly and you need to develop a better connection. Also to much calcium in the bowl, it's a waste. Bath them in a tub so it's easier for them to get used to it, 1/2 inch to 1 inch or up to the shoulders of water. Just trying to help!
you can feed with tweezers butt its better to hand feed them so they can gain more trust for you and so that they know that
your not trying to hurt them your just there to love and protect and feed them because tweezers can be used just not all the time especially if you have a baby bearded dragon
I would suggest doing more research on bearded dragon feeding.
I would put like 10 meal worms in if I had a bearded dragon
3-6 crickets a day doesn't seem like much..My 4 month old already eats like 30-40 large crickets each day
o_O
Lol They eat more bugs when younger, adults, only 25% of their diet should be bugs
+Hollows25 Didn't realize these were fully grown adults, my bad.
At what age (roughly) should they begin eating more veggies and less bugs?
+Chris Amyotte at 1 year old it should shift to about 70% veggies and 30% insects
+Skylar Chumley Cool thanks for the info :)
mine it's 15 to 20 and he's almost 3
Beautiful beardies! They look very well taken care of :) You definitely shouldn't house them together though, they can scratch and puncture each other by accident. My friends beardie accidentally scratched out her other ones eye before she knew not to keep them together, and unfortunately he lost his eye to infection:(
The problem with meal worms are that your bearded dragon can get too addicted to them and won't eat anything else . That's why I feed my bearded dragon a horned worms and crickets . I also feed him lettuce and other plants . But meal worms are not a problem for all beardies .
I like your daily routine!
Your dragons are so skinny... They honestly don't look healthy. If you want to see what a healthy bearded dragon looks like, check out DocNiccals or some other channel or even look at forums. You shouldn't have that many if you can't keep up with their health...
Adriana Anzelino cause she feeding them millworms they need crickets and roaches and the way she feeds together on top of the way she dust them is not good
Adriana Anzelino I agree these dragons are too skinny but doc Niccals dragon looks obese. obesity is almost as bad as too skinny. gout, fatty liver disease, etc...
Adriana Anzelino I just checked out that channel... holy moly that dragon is obese 😲 it looks unhealthy compared to those on this channel
this is Lindsey Sterling.. but it's nowhere in the desciption
yes I have had a female for about a year and ahalf and all of a sudden over the last month or so she has gotten VERY aggressive during feeding time. She has actually bitten me several time.... really bitten!!! draw blood type!... any suggestions on what is taking place.?
They are soooooo cute
Now I feel like I'm neglecting my beardie. I have a question. how do I get my beardie to eat greens. he only likes carrots and grapes and red peppers mostly anything colorful
chop the green up and mix it up. Dragons are smart and can pick out the stuff they like- You have variety in fruit and veggies so don't worry too much. Kale is ok but I would not reccomend it daily- (high oxalates)- mustard greens and Dandilion greens even Collard greens & chard are better alternatives. -- Avoid spinach like the plague, it binds with the calcium and can lead to MBD...
Carrot and red pepper should be grated and only used as a treat otherwise they can get an upset stomach :)
just stop his coloured food and he will come round to the other foods as a treat,
thethe111t -- Stop advising people on stuff you know nothing about.
and you are the expert. I am from Australia. and see these in the wild. so i know exactly how to care for them . Unlike this idiot in the video. I have them for at least 55 years sonny so grow up and take some commonsense advice.. It was good advice.from 55 years of breeding and caring for many many lizards. and i've NEVER lost one to bad care.
My baby bearded dragon died last night could you guys please say a few words for him he choked on a cricket every time I think of him I can't help but cry
luke schreader lmao xd
Just saying. You shouldn't use meal worms as their exo skeleton is hard for beardies to ingest. You should use morio worms instead
What do they eat? can they bite? and how long is their lifespan?
I just bought one. I wanted 2 but under the advice from stores and other forums, they say 1 per household is safe. So do they fight?
so i have a problem my baby beardie only eats live or hand fed. he will not eat vegies dried or fresh. or more than 5 solder worms hes small but is getting thin and im worried for him. i dont want him to die as im already atached what can i do to make him eat better, or just out of a food dish?
I'm only 13. I feel like I've had plenty of experience with animals, and do plenty mount of research on the species I want before every thinking about purchasing one. I have a lot of pets: reptiles, mammals, fish, you name it! I've never owned a bearded dragon, and it's been a dream for the last 3 years. Yet here's the problem - the live food. I've owned toads, grass lizards, water dragons.. But my mom has always found it a trouble to constantly go with me to the petstore and get live worms/roaches etc. what can I do? Should I wait until I can drive and am able to pay for everything myself? Any suggestions would be great, Thankyou.
G Mulcahy the roaches can breed so you buy some and they will breed look up on the RUclips
Mealworms are very bad for a bearded dragon!!!!! They don't die immediately and will eat your bearded dragons alive from the inside!!!! A suggestion would be to crush the mealworms heads and leave them for around 5 minutes just incase!!
Taegan Linnel this is just a myth. the stomach acids are strong enough to kill living meal worms. I believe it's because they have low nutritional value. crickets, roaches, superworms and silk worms are great to feed to beardies. Horn worms are nice for a treat!
I heard meal worms aren't good to feed beardies, too much chitin and it can clog up their digestive system
I'm glad your care has changed but what about the people that watch this and dont read the comment section? you should take this 90k veiw video down or edit the fuck out of it.
u should not use mealworms as they are manly exo skeleton and it gets stuck in there throat
i'm just saying, if i put a group of bearded dragons in front of a bowl of meal worms, mine would end up just eating everyone's food lol
My dad is scared of reptiles, I asked him for a beardie I've wanted one for two years,what can I do to change his opinion?
Find someone who has a beardie or snake and show dad how cool they are.... My parents had reptiles before I was born... I grew up with snakes, lizards, a desert tortoise.... spiders
Jonathan Perkins ice burg lettuce can kill a bearded dragon I know because I've been breading for over 18 years
breading....sounds interesting
they do use the tongue to gauge there surroundings
but is my bearded dragon pellet are ok ...I mean is write that it is a complete diet .
Lindsey Sterling people the first background song!!!!!
My dad only wants to feed my beardie once a week pellets. Im trying to convince him to go with the actual diet needed to help my 9yr beardie Spike. What should I tell him?
get a good book, and show him, or have Dad talk to a vet!
gotta love Lindsey Stirlings music
you should put a link to the song I like it.
Badass creatures.
So cute!
I just rehomed a bearded dragon. I purchased it from a lady off Craigslist I don't know how old or what gender. But they didn't tell me the last time it ate they only put a little salad on a plate for it and told me it'll last for a while. It didn't eat yesterday but there was still salad and water offered and misted it. There was only a infrared light and a uvb light and salad and dried fried and veggies so today I'm going to get worms and more and basking light. I offered salad with the dried fruit and veg moist and it seem to me as if it was heating up on the rock but i still haven't seen it eat or drink what should I do ?
LifeAsCaleb bathing your Dragon or misting will keep th hydrated! most dragons don't drink from standing water. and as for sex you can look up "how to sex a bearded dragon" super easy! adult dragons don't always eat every day. make sure you leave salad in over night as well so they have all night as well to eat :)
Is the powder you put in the mealworms in the morning the calcium powder?
And from personal experience my bearded dragon can eat over 100 crickets in under 15 minutes .
So cute
That isn't even enough mealworms for one bearded dragon let alone 4. How are they even meeting their weekly protein needs. I really hope you feed them more than that. Also not enough greens for 4 bearded dragons. That's enough for 1 MAYBE 2.
I was just listening to Lindsey Stirling before I watched this lmao
cool beardies I just started a dubia roach colony and hope to get some beardies one day too
Can I put one bearded dragon in a ten gallon or would that be too smal
One Beardie needs a 40 gallon. Also, GERARD
Depends on age-- A 40 gallon tank is minimum size for an adult. 10 gallon might be suitable for a very young dragon but should be upgraded with in months. The more space the dragon has, the faster and larger it will grow. Too small a space can lead to a stunted and unhealthy animal.
Aww well maybe if I have a bit more money and space
Karol Escobar if you don't have money and space to own a beardie, you should not have one. (No hate just being honest)
ExTremeHYPE yeah I know
Why are u pushing it in the water
Thank you sooooo much for the helpful information for my dragon
When the squad is lit af
omg hahahaha!
Mealworms are fine a long as the aren’t super big! Smaller ones are better, but, still.
when you say first thing in the morning what time does that mean?
+A ziatsky I have a timer to turn my light on at 8 A.M and a timer to turn the light off at 8 P.M so my dragon gets a solid 12 hours of UVB.
This is very helpful
my dad got rid of my leopard gecko and I really want a bearded dragon
Why exactly is there dubstep?
If you only have one, how many times a day should you feed it and how many mealworms? Are there specific mealworms for them?
Morgann's Vlogs 2-3 times a day. Use crickets, Dubias or super worms. For adults their diet should be 80% salads and 20% protein (roughly) for babies/juveniles it should be flipped around (80% protein 20% salad). Mine currently isn't a full grown adult so I give her crickets in the morning and then crickets and a salad in the evening. Dust their food with calcium 3 times a week and multivitamins once a week.
MilesIsMy MainMeme NO!! NEVER FEED THEM MEALWORMS. Btw I would recommend feeding them greens such as romaine lettuce and kale carrots cauliflower pumpkin squash tops of celery and spinach are safe veggies, now safe insects and fruits. Strawberry banana blueberry raspberry blackberry and watermelon are safe fruits, crickets Dubai roaches and superworms are safe. Adults need 20-40% of insects so that would be about a couple dozen or more crickets/ Dubai roaches a week and superworms in between, and they need 60% of veggies and fruits. Now babies need 60% insects and20-40% of veggies and fruits, I would recommend getting them baby crickets about three times a week and worms in between. So yes I would recommend feeding them breakfast dinner or just feeding them one else a day and remember to remove and poop dead insects or fruits and veggies after 24 hours.
More than 20-30 freakin minutes! I take mine out for around 2 hours each day in total
I have a question about Beardies, so I recently (3 days ago) bought a Bearded Dragon from Petco, It looks fine, healthy and what not but it seems so terrified of me, is this natural? I've taken him out onto my bed for a little each day so he can get used to life outside his tank because as he grows I'd like to take him out longer and often, he's only a baby now, clearly, I'd say under a month, is it normal for it to be so skittish though?
+Mister Guillotine Yes it is normal for them to be skittish because when they are that young they like to explore... You should let him get to know his surroundings before you take hime out again. Then kinda just ease your way into taking him out. When you get them you not supposed to take them out of their cage for 2-3 days just so they will get used to their surroundings.
+Shevy Nation I got mine today and he's from petsmart do they abuse them too they said they gave him two crickets today and in my mind I was thinking that's not enough at all he's only a baby he needs more than that but yeah and they said four worms a day is enough and of course I didn't listen to them I've been researching about dragons for two years but any way do they abuse them it seems like it
Hi everyone, I just got a bearded dragon 2 days ago. Is it okay I have her on forest floor substrate. It's the cupress mulch flooring.
TROCKMONEYK- You could but its risky. Repticarpet or tile would work best
How hot or cold should the bath be?
I'm slowly saving for one I got 1 pound I'm getting 32 pound at end of week1
Wow 4 of them
your supposed to feed them 10 - 15 crickets
Whoo!!! Lindsey
Will my baby beardie grow this big?
Where did u find the music
Even sand for adults is bad! I could get on their food and make them impacted and mealworms can make them constipated and they are very hard to digest!!
Great video! 😁
could I use the same uv light as I use for my ball python
Ball pythons don't need uv lights because they are nocturnal, there any advantages and disadvantages when using uv lights, you can if you want to but it has to be the right one to match the heat lamp (if you have one). I recommend you to watch RSPCA on RUclips and whatch the video that says "how to care for a royal python" make sure you download their care sheet too
I have two bearded dragons...Valentine and Bearded weirdo 1 girl and 1 boy
YOU CANT KEEP SAND FOR ANY BEARDED DRAGON!!! EVEN IF ITS AN ADULT . IT CAN RIP THEIR INSIDES AND THERE SKIN. ITS ALSO VERY UNHEALTHY IF THEY SWALLOW IT TOO CAUSE THAT CAN AlSO RIP UP THERE INSIDES
That tank is way to small let alone for one you should get a 200 or300 gallon for four of them. Mine lives in a 200 gallon
When classical violin is just too mainstream
please do not use mealworms or supers, the shell can clogg their intestines very easily
Do bearded dragons like being together or alone?
Gentle Giant- Alone, do not house lizards together.
Woody The Cowboy - thank you I knew about everything I just didn't know about beardies
You left out a lot of information that's actually quite important, it's ok though since I did my research before reading this video
hi can someone tell me what it could be that my bearded dragons beard was puffed up all day and it was black and half of his tail was black aswell then it died later that night before we could get it to the vets x
he might have died of stress.
Dragon is stressed or upset... could be several things (temps are off), bad dragon day, food was boring, thought you looked scary....
Sian Baker could have been that your beardies tail didn't shed properly and it was constricting blood flow and was causing her too much pain and stress
NO MEAlWORMS lost mine a few back because of impaction
I want a bearded dragon so bad
OH NO MEALWORMS OKAY-
and again, kale isn't very good for bearded dragons everyday maybe once per week
Got my bearded dragon what food you guys recommended
Pets and wildlife if you got a bearded dragon and you do t know what to feed it I would recommend getting rid of it if you didn't do any research
That's funny cuz my bearded dragon sleeps every day
