Helpful Bearded Dragon Websites

For many of us dragon owners, there is always something that arises about our dragons we would like to get some professional answers about. Two excellent websites for help and care of the dragon is www.beautifuldragons.com and a great forum also with care sheets for dragons is www.beardeddragon.org This is also a great site to ask questions about any aspect of owning a dragon.

If you are thinking about purchasing your first dragon and need help with the set up, feeding, heat requirements etc, these are among the best sites on the web. There is a lot of misleading information out there and it can get really confusing as to who does what and when!!

I am learning as I go alone and will add more helpful sites that I feel will benefit you and the care of your dragon.

More Cricket Talk

I just wanted to share with my readers another healthy food to fed crickets. Would you believe Cheerios or Total! I belong to the Yahoo bearded dragon group, http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/pogona/ and a few members were talking about healthy foods for crickets. These 2 cereals have all the nutritional vitams and minerals that the crickets need, which means healthier feeders for your dragons! There is no need to spend your money on commercial grade food!

I also learned that apples act as a appetite suppressant for crickets, so from now on I won't feed them as many apples as I have been, although, they certainly don't act like they don't have an appetite to me!

I purchase my crickets on line and usually order a 1000 at a time. Occasionally I have run low and gone to Petco for a 100 until my shipment arrives. I try to always wait 24 hours to feed the new crickets to my dragons. This way the crickets have had time to eat some healthy food. We can only guess what they are being fed at the pet shop!

I would highly recommend joining this Yahoo Group. It is a great forum for getting advice, asking questions and just sharing and learning about how to care for your dragon. Tomorrow I will post some other great web sites for bearded dragon advice and support.
