COMPLETE Bearded Dragon Feeding Guide

Hi guys! So a little over a year ago, I uploaded a Bearded Dragon Care Guide, and I did not go into very much detail on feeding in that video. (I was also pregnant, probably irritable, and, when watching that video back, I probably just generally wasn't great to be around). Anyway, I get asked a lot about feeding bearded dragons, which is understandable, as a lot goes into it. I thought I'd sit down and make a very detailed video about all the things pertaining to feeding your dragon. Also, wow, can't believe I forgot this, if you're looking for the size bugs to feed your beardie (especially babies), you want to make sure the feeder is about the same size as the space between the dragons eyes. As this get older, though, this matters less. Adults can easily eat adult dubias and full grown horn worms, even though they're much bigger than that space. Another "edited to add": Make sure to check your beardies home for proper temperatures and proper UV lighting (linear bulb, correct size, not older than 6 months, etc) if your beardie isn't eating. Also, be sure you get feeders from a reputable seller (i.e. not things like fishing crickets) in order to minimize parasite risk. (Thank you so much to Cari Rea for pointing these things out).

Why You SHOULD Get A Bearded Dragon

Why You SHOULD Get A Bearded Dragon

Good Morning, Reptilians! So some of you guys were not at all happy with last week's video. So, here are 10 reasons why you SHOULD get a bearded dragon. (This is kind of part 2 of last weeks video, as last week's video request asked for why you should and shouldn't get a beardie.) Just to again clarify, I LOVE bearded dragons. I think they make amazing pets for anyone willing to put in the time/energy/resources. As with all pets, they aren't for everyone. Hopefully, this video (and the video last week) will help you decide if a bearded dragon is the right pet reptile for you! :) And again again, sincere apologies if I offended you in the last video. I just meant that bearded dragons deserve to be cared for correctly (in terms of time, money, love, space, etc). I just try to make videos that I would have wanted to see when I first got my animals. I would fall into the category of a beardie not being the right pet for me (in this case, another beardie) due to time restraints (husband, kids, all my other pets). Our New Links: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ellesreptiles/ https://ellesreptiles.com/ The intro is a bit long, as I was addressing last week's video. If you just want to get to the list go to 0:00 intro 3:03 The list AND don't forget to leave us questions for a future Q&A video! :) Need Roaches?
