| # 1 Housing size : For hatchlings and dragons up to a bout 3 months old I prefer a 20 gallon long tank for one dragon ( about ~ 30" x 13" x 13" ). this size cage is good because it gives you room to put in a hide log , a baskig brantch , and a couple decorations,and gives enough room for one side to be hotter than the other but its also small enough that the Bearded Dragon dont have far to look for their food. | |||||||||||||||||
| #2 Housing basicks : The Bearded Dragon should have paper towles or newspaper as a substrat (DO NOT PUT THEM ON SAND UNTIL THEY ARE ATLEAST 6 MONTHS OR OVER 10 INCHES LONG ) they need one cool side and one warm side of the cage. on the warm side should be a basking brantch and basking rock (not a heat rock, just a regular old smoth rock) the basking area/surface should be 100 - 105 degrees F and the cooler side should be 80 - 85 degrees F during the day night time tempatures can safley drop down to the low 70's high 60's. They need a hide log, shallow water dish and food dish. for the first 4 months keep the tank simple. For lighting Bearded dragons need a light with UVA and UVB sutch as a repti sun 5.0 or a repti glo 5.0. I use repti glo 8.0 on my hatchlings. The UVB is verry inportant, the light should be within 5-10 inches of the basking spot. there should be no glass inbetween the light and the basking. The glass will filter the UV rays out. The light should be set on a timer to be on for 12- 14 hours a day. | |||||||||||||||||
| #3 Feeding : Baby bearded dragons should be fed small crickets 2-3 times a day. Feed them 1-2 hours after the lights come on. the last feeding of the day should be atleast 2 hours before lights out/temps drop this is so thay can digest there food. i use 2 week old crickets. but size varies from where you get them so a good rule is never feed them anything bigger than the distance between there eyes. i dust the crickets 2 times a week with "Sticky Tongue Farms Miner-All ". Offer finly choped greens sutch as collard greens ,kale,mustard greens etc but DO NOT feed them iceberg lettuce | |||||||||||||||||
