The wave earnings everythings is ok,the scratching is just curiousity.
STOP GIVING MEALWORMS RIGHT NOW!! Here bodys cant be digested by baby beardies and depression them which kills them get on to guaranteed they have document as substrate sand impacts them aswell. A biga tank would be greatly beter he wont continue 3 months in that lone. The bulbs you must have are a uv bulb,a sun bulb and a heat bulb which be on 24 hours you must always rerearch before to you buy theres lots of websites about beardys. My emails rodamus_rulz_666@yahoo.com if you call for extra in rank.
Sounds like you got most of it down. The waving is habitual they are social creatures and like to be detained and let out of their cage to explore and taste to take on the world. At his young get on to grown-up he must get on to a couple of crickets everyday. Once he gets to be a morsel larger you can initiation to wean him down to a couple of times a week and always have vegetables for him.
Toss away the heat rock most heat rocks will eventually fail and if your bearded dragon lays on it, it will eventually burn him. Other then that you are well on your road. Taste not to be so paranoid.
The babies will eat themselves sick on live food but will homogenize the veggies better so 7-10 crickets a day. Once he gets larger you can mixture crickets and superworms.
They kindness to be handled you can handle him every day if you want they are extremely social animals and will not get on to stressed out, by go handled and let out of their cage.
Have enjoyable including your extra pet.
1) head bobbing and hand waving can be in cooperation a dominate and submissive sign. In this circumstance i would show it's a show of control, he probably caught a glimpse of himself in the schooner. you call for to stop him early doing this as he could hurt himself terrible, also him roughness his head against schooner can produce this... at this calculate's approximately cinema of what can happen:
i couldn't find any cinema... eerie. Just don't let him rub his mouth against the schooner as it will hurt his snout.
2) crickets are skilled, full of nutrients. what type of worms? also woodies are high in nutrients and protect their teeth sterile. Also if you cook beef steak you could deposit approximately aside for your lizard, they LOVE skinned cherry meat. don't supply him to greatly tho. And mind your fingers when you supply him, haha.
3) handle him as greatly as possible, just dredge up to protect him lukewarm and wash your hands after. Usage him is a skilled road for yous to bond and refining him. Dredge up to not call onto him tight, they like to call onto you not the other road nearly....
Desire Ive helped, skilled luck including your extra beardie!
ADD: oh forgot a in tears, heres a lil tip i picked up - don't supply your beardie whatever business that larger then the top of its head
it cant produce in tears stomach impaction/complications.
Lone vital business not mentioned in other answers. Beardies can get on to stressed easily and him go in such a huge tank will stress him if the schooner is apparent or reflective, this scratching the schooner will boost as his stress does. Get on to a background that has a picture, as levelheaded affect ones soothe imitate, and cover the in trade AND SIDES including it. You'll see his stress and the scratching actions subside momentously, though a modest morsel of digging on ground or schooner is habitual
All of the above it 100% habitual and reasonably healthful. Just be guaranteed the UVB is 10.0% and that it is the long version, not the compact, they can hurt it's eyes.
I did the same business, I freaked out about every modest business. What you'll have to do is gather to be cool. They are reasonably healthful by nature and rarely have any issues. Supporter a skilled herp vet who is knows bearded dragons and is keen to talk to you often. Whenever you have a question, call him/her and let them aloofness you out. Get on to a vet who is not all about meds, get on to lone who want's to aid, not wants to get on to money. I can flush give you my vets number if you'd like. He'd be keen to talk to you, no matter everywhere you live. Hurl by e-e-mail me if you want it.
Crickets are better than meal worms, as here is extra meat that exo-skelliton, everywhere as worms are frequently exo.
Once he's had a week to gather his extra family, you can handle him day after day, for about 20 synopsis or extra, until he starts to feel cool to the in tears. Supply LOVES to be detained, he gets depressed if I don't.
At this calculate are approximately skilled sites to check out:
reptileuv.com
reptilechannel.com
The first is better than the second.
Everything is impeccably honest apart early the meal worms, flush adults have a hard calculate digesting persons, by no means mind a baby. Just protect him on the crickets. If not, splendid job!
