I made the mistake of looking through the comments for whatever reason, and I just... Some of these questions.... You either answered them in this very same video, or told them where to go, again, in this very video. Sigh... Anyway... Your videos are all incredibly helpful and amazing. You're so intelligent and educated and don't muck about, getting straight to the point. You're a great person, and I'm very grateful to have stumbled upon your RUclips channel. Thank you for the awesome content.

Does the tank come with the Bio active kit?
@@ogreplayy9505 No, because tanks can only be shipped via freight.
I can't wait to get a snake and get them into a bioactive setup! I'm thinking about doing a bioactive playpen for my mice as well, both from the biodude. If only bioactive litter boxes were a thing 😂
It would've been easier to moisten your substrate first, mix the moss, then add the cultures. But this looks great. 👍
+Shonna Nelson Williams it really depends on the person, it doesn't really matter which steps you do first
Happy Tails Yes I agree. Just makes mixing a bit easier. Regardless it will mix itself within time.
Could you do a full tour of your farm please :)
YESSSS!!!!
I put off getting a bearded dragon for a while but I'm super happy I have one now. I never would have thought I wanted one but I absolutely love my bearded dragon and I've only had it for a couple months.
Seriously this channel is soooo underrated 😻
I've learned so much about pets and animals by watching your videos on this channel! I love this channel and your passion for animals. Nice video ;) Can you please do more guinea pig videos🙏🏻🙏🏻 Can you do videos of a cage tour and products that you use or recommend (like brands) Thanks!❤️
All these people telling her "it's a dessert lizard, why make a jungle environment", have you ever been to a dessert. It's not just sand dunes. First do real research before making dumb comments, she did (almost) everything the right way.
The tank should be a lot bigger for that size beardy, they need way more room. Also if you fill your tank with the soil , leafs and al the other materials, moisterize it and mix it up before you put it in the tank. It will be much better for your plants and for your isopots. And use some uvb light for your beardy. For all the rest, good job Happy Tails.
how does the substrate/isopods/spirngtails work with the heat lamps and or humidity levels ? I'm looking to set up a bearded dragon bio active enclosure yes i have done a lot of research - but somethings just require asking questions and or experiance). Bio dude does not ship to Canada here - So i'm making my own substrate from a recipe i found on a bearded dragon forum. but I'm hearing mix reviews that the isopods and spring tails wont survive due the the low humidity levels the dragon requires. And what is the humidity level you keep a bearded dragon enclosure at WITH isopods and springtails. normally 30% for dragon but that's with no bio active substrate that needs moisture. so the enclosure should have what humidity level to sustain both the clean up crew and dragon happily ? Thanks
wow im currently working on 2 fish tanks and i have been researching for about a month and in one more month i think i will finally start looking into a bearded dragon and this really opened my eyes on a bioactive enclosure looks beautiful !
how long does it take the clean up crew to eat the waste left by your bearded dragon?
You’re such a mood😂 ‘and by we I mean the hubby... this is going to be slow for me because I can’t pick up the bag’ you’re so funny!
Just a quick suggestion before putting soil down you may want to add a drainage layer so there is an area for the water to go down into and not drown anything
The whole reason you want to use Biodude is because, as I said in the video, no drainage layer is needed.
Thank for the video. I really want to try make one before I purchase my pet. I also want to add the fog to keep the plants wet. Around 30%.
This is a great video. If I had the space or the money, I'd love to get a reptile and make a bio tank for them.
Do you have to mist the terrarium everyday day to add moisture to the soil?
Hello! Sorry to bother you, but how is the terrarium standing up after a few months? Thanks! :-)
I thought that shredded moss stuff u wetted it and mixed it in soil then add leaf litter that help with moisture for plants and all
You will learn this in your freshman year kids!!!
Same
@@kittyrivera6740 you just responded to yourself
@@jacob_spo0n363 someone responded idk why its not there XDDD
Love this video! Wish you would have shown it with the lights on it though!
You should do a bioactive leopard gecko setup next. Love your vids ❤️👍
THANKS! That rly helped me. I have a beardie now and am wondering if you can do a horse vid. I've been riding all my life and just got an Arabian.
wow this video is very interesting now I know how to setup a bioactive terrarium
I would love to do this for a reptile! Could you PLEASE do a video about gerbil diet? I'm getting some so I NEED help to give them a raw diet. Thanks so much!
I'm getting a bearded dragon so this video is really good for me to watch oh and I'm your biggest fan
Have you ever thought about getting a uromastyx. Have you ever seen a uromastyx? They're one of my favorite lizards.
Great video very informative .
Amazing video!!!!Can you please do a guinea pig cage tour!!
next can you do a video on how to bond with your animals love your videos
I love your horse and corgis 😊😊😊😊
Has anyone ever told you that it looks like you live in a pet store?lol. I'm excited to do this for my dragon.
You deserve more subs!! I love your channel, please do more videos of petunia
Nice video It won't be long however before the beardie crushes the plants.
+Chico the Human she can't crush the succulent but she has already started eating the herbs! 😁
Happy Tails oh ok lol
I made a leopard gecko setup with only springtails and exo terra plantation soil
This is so cool!!
This is so useful thank you
Do you ever worry about compaction with the loose substrate? I have been told to only use paper towels for my beardies but I love the concept of a bioactive viv for them
+Morgan Snyder please watch myths and facts of bioactive terrariums to learn more about compaction in reptiles
Please make more ferret videos. I'm getting two soon. Possibly a ferret food preparation or what you feed your ferrets video. BTW I love your channel.
you inspire me soo much ily megan! ps. im getting a rabbit and a anole lizard!!
For hedgehog food can I use cat food and then fruits and veggies?
I didn't see this addressed in the video so figured I'd ask. While it's obvious that the heat lamp will keep the humidity down in the tank, do you still mist the cage (daily?) to ensure the soil retains moisture for the clean-up crew? Or just the periodic watering around the plants like once a week is enough for the entire enclosure?
whats better for bearded dragons - terrarium or vivarium? What's everyone's opinion on what holds heat better?
This is amazing
Do you have to change the terraSahara substrate after a while or not??
Matt Martin no
Hi Megan!! How are you doing?? I wanted to ask if you could make a horse diet video, because I am seriously considering getting a horse, I watched your horse videos, but you don't have any about that... @happy tails
@Happy Tails
You should know a horse diet video before you even consider getting a horse. Horses aren't just any pet. You can't just decide you want one then buy one the next month. You are gonna end up selling it because it's too much work and too much money. At least have about 5 years in the equine before you get a horse. I've been riding my entire life and I just got my first horse
Awesome ! Can you do a ferret feeding routhine?
I rly enjoyed this video Megan! because you made it look so simple to have a bio active terrarium because I thought it was complicated. Now..I wonder will my mam agree with getting me a beardy??..😄
Do you have leopard geckos? Please, please, PLEASE do a bioactive leopard gecko bioactive setup! I've ordered from the BioDude because of your video.
hypnosegirl16 this setup applied to all dessert reptiles, with the exception of some snakes
Can you move a Bearded Dragon that has never been in a bio active terrarium, into one?
If they are healthy yes
shot per biodude reference
I’m thinking of making all of my tanks bio active BUT I’m worried that the little bugs will eat away at my animals or my animals will eat them. If my lizards eat these bugs, will they become sick or are they safe? It might sound stupid but I’m just making sure, I’ve never done a bio active terrarium before.
Maddy Gough it’s safe, especially if the cleanup crew is captive bred
Could you do a bioactive setup for turtels please?
Does the poo go quick? My bearded hates when poo is in his cage longer than 14 minutes
EM&M thats a very time specific beardie lol im just imagining a beardie looking at the clock tapping its claws against the tank.
Thanks Megan for doing a beardie bioactive. I am also looking to get a kit from the Biodude. I noticed you had a stump like decor you added. I liked that as ties in with wood well. Where did you find that piece?
Oh, in my backyard actually lol. Sorry
This might be a stupid question and I'm sorry, but can you grow plants with a full spectrum light?
I was wondering if you would ever get a pet capybara? Great video by the way!!
You seem like you really know your stuff about all your animals so I wanted to ask something, I got two guinea pigs today and one (named Ollie) is eating so much. Can that be stress eating? And the other one (Named Cooper) is only hiding in the igloo and only nibbling on some hay. What can I do to make them less stressed out?
It's a desert reptile so why would you want to make a jungle environment for it?
+Taylor White please explain which jungles cactus grow in.... this should be interesting
What kind of isopods are they as I know you can get the tropical ones but I'd assume they wouldn't be good for a desert vivarium
Are plants required for bioactive terrariums?
I got a substrate kit from the Biodude but no plants, since I'm awful at caring for flora and I'm worried my ball python will rip through them before they have time to properly get their roots in.
Hey Meghan, loved the video very interesting and informative! I have a question for you. Recently I got a pet parakeet and I'm caring for her correctly and everything, but I'm having a hard time taming her. Do you have any advice for me?

please do more ferret videos I am thinking of getting one and I want to know more
How much was everything in this video?
How long is that terrarium? Do you think it's large enough for a uromastyx?
marquise Washington It's a 40 gallon. That should be good for one uromastyx
Any updates on the Bearded Dragon enclosure? Were you able to keep the clean-up crew alive for 4 months?
if a layer of sand or rocks were added to the bottom (below the terra sahara ofcourse) would it creatr a problem? its purely for aesthetic purposes
+AkilahIsHuman I don't think it would cause a problem
thank u!
how many gallons is her terra sahara?
How do the isopods survive if its not humid?
toadie Ohh thank you!
also love you!😘
Can you do a hedgehog dry skin care video
Could I make a bioactive terrarium for my desert tarantula? I'm concerned about her eating the clean up crew or it preying on her post-molt
+savannah bowers clean up crew used in bioactive terrariums are non preditorial. You never want to use predatory mites in any bioactive terrarium. She probably won't eat the clean up crew. You can use all these same materials for a desert tarantula.
Thank you so much! The main reason I was concerned was because I have heard of crickets killing tarantulas in their post-molt phase before.
savannah bowers crickets are not part of a bioactive setup. no reason to have them in the tank.
Happy Tails I must have been misunderstood about the crickets before. After further checking it out I am excited to see that the bio dude has a pack specifically for desert tarantulas. Thank you once again for the helpful information:)
+savannah bowers 😆
Can the substrate cause impaction for the beardie?
I need help budgie care please
Hi I'm new to bioactive setups. Will any of this harm my bearded dragon in any way?
approx how much dies the kit cost for this. im thinking a hundred bucks or so? i have a cresty i wabt to do this with. thanks
can you make a video about bonding bunny
In one if you meet my pet videos I saw a ferret but you have not did a video on it
can you do a video on how to clicker train your rabbit
Hello. I cannot buy any of TheBioDudes products here in Australia. Is there any alternative I can use?
how much was the kit
Happy Tails if you don't mind can you do a viedo on hamster care....I am a new hamster owner
Kaeleigh's Animal Family I would look at Erin's animals, Hammylux,Hopping Hammy , and Victoria Rachel . They all have fantastic info for your little hammy 💕💕
Can you do more of rabbits
Happy Tails Does the tank come with the kit?
do the tanks come with the biodude kits?
ovba 19 no
You can go on BioDude website and get tanks when you get the kits
Hi can i build a bioactive enviroment in a wooden viv, that has been properly sealed?
Yes.
Could I use sand for the tank? Mix
How many dubia roaches per day should I feed my 6 month old beardie?
+Slade Mosher no one can answer that because bearded dragons are all different. As many as they will eat in 15 min
Please help me I want a ferret so bad and I have done my research and my parents say I am responsible enough to get one but I have cats that pee on things that they aren't supposed to pee on and my parents say I either have to get rid of my cats (which I can't because I love them) or train them not to pee but I don't know how please help me I don't know what to do😢
Will the fungus in the tank infect my bearded dragon?
How exactly do you think it's going to infect him?
diseases like yellow fungus disease I know from experience can harm and shorten a bearded dragon life span, does the fungus you put in the cage harm a bearded dragon?
Asher Bankhead I said in the video that every thing I am using is safe for bearded dragons and other reptiles. Have you watched myths and facts about Bioactive tanks? I linked it in the icard
thx just wondering
Will the dirt cause impaction?
+EM&M click on the i card to learn more about Bioactive terrariums
In the words of the bio dude himself "it will cause impaction if you don't provide proper husbandry"
im getting a beardie soon and dont have a name got any suggestions
Cheese_ Doodles I named mine Aoda, my little cousins and nephews call him Odie. Name him/her whatever you like!
Is this safe for baby reptiles as well?
+AnythingDisneyFan 564 please watch pros and cons video
can u give your bearded dragon veggies only? or do u need to give them bugs??
+Elín María they need live bugs
Happy Tails okey thank you so much 💖
can you do a feeding video??????
pet room tour video please :) xx
Can i use Springtails and Isopods without plants?
yes, but you have to feed them sometimes
Feed them with what?
TokeDenOP they mainly eat stuff like old leaves and rotten wood, but I also put a little piece of vegetable, like a slice of carrot or somethimg similar, in my tanks like every other week or so.
Okay. :D
do you feed her in there too?
I thought isopods couldn't live in a breaded dragon tank
+Rachel they are all over my farm and I live in the desert :)
Happy Tails aw yay! Now that gives me a even bigger reason to get a breaded dragon!
"She loves climbing!"
* puts all wood down as flat as possible*
cody lefler the drift wood is to create a hide, it's not for climbing.
Happy Tails What other substrate could i use as i live in the UK
So my sister got me a baby beardie and she said that they told her not to put any fake plants in the Tank with them or they will mistake it for their food. Is that true?
McDonald Trump yes
Both of my beardies do fine with them, I would just try it out and see. One of mine did try eating a fake leaf when I first put them in the tank but stopped after it realized it wasn't food. They both still eat their vegetable and fruits they just avoid eating the fake ones.
What size bag of substrate is that?
