Bearded Dragons

Information please my hubby is wanting get one so of course i agreed how couldnt i. haha
anyway where is the best place to get info from? are they friendly? anyone that can give advice would be great thanks.

Bearded Dragons are fab - love them - there is a care sheet somewhere on here - private breeder - RFUK should have some on there x

I know Lou has one and helen is good with info on reptiles , I'm sure one of them will give u some good advice soon :-) x

You beat me too it helen !!! Lol x

ok how often do they need cleaning out?
do they carry salmonella or is that if they are kept in dirty conditions?

Like any pet - they need to be cleaned - you can use a sand scoop to sift the sand daily and then change the sand once a month - no need for expensive reptile sand, bird sand is sufficient, they should be kept on newspaper until they are bigger - babies can ingest sand x

We still have niño on sand it doesn't look too good but the vet recommended it after she got sick. They are lovely friendly pets x

What is the monthly cost to the up keep food ect?

Whilst they are young they will eat more live food than greens but both should be provided - you can pick dandelions in summer.

If you buy 50 locusts a week on line they will be round the £ 6.00 plus postage - will easily demolish 50 - Mulan has 50 a week

So not that big of a cost then really is it.

Not really Gemma x

Beardies are ace! They have such funny little characters. Mine likes to sit on my shoulder and watch the tv and traffic going by. I haven't had him long, about a month, but I love him! They are brilliant pets for sure! x

Do you still have your tortoise mel? If you do do you clip his nails? X

see reptiles dont interest me...i dont know why...im more a fury animal person....or spikey...hahaha!

i want either a dumbo rat next or a skinny pig,,,
id love love a skunk...but i can imagine them being destructive and quite pungent smelling like a ferret.
id love to meet one...

skunks are quite nice tayer, they do have a musky smell horrible poop smell but seem playful, i guess some may be destructive and others not like a dog or cat i assume xx

maybe one day...
i loved my ferret but my 2nd one wasnt the same...
