Quite fascinating to watch him run across the tank to grab them with his tongue and chomp em all up 2 of them did try and play dead but as soon as spikey saw there legs move they were dinner too. I'm off to help feed him again tomorrow as we have a friend who has one and they are going to show us an easier way to feed him so i'll get the camera out and take some pics for you. Anne in an earlier thread you mentioned a friend who owns them could you ask her to join so i can ask her a few questions or if its easier i'll pm you so you can ask her for me please. ____________ Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2006 8:30 pm annestaff TopDog Joined: May 10, 2005 Posts: 2083 Age: No.Of Pets: 3 Pet Types: SBT Karma: 5 Thank Medals: 1 (View more...) 721 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Hi Sam, ask me any questions I'll pass them on as she hasn't got the internet Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2006 10:14 pm pollaton Cat Expert Joined: May 10, 2005 Posts: 2256 Age: 33 No.Of Pets: 1 Pet Types: saint bernard Karma: 2 Thank Location: belgium Medals: None 157 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: can't wait to see the pics sam, i love bearded dragons. ____________ Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2006 7:31 am sambo Co-Admin Joined: May 09, 2005 Posts: 1872 Age: 32 No.Of Pets: 4 Pet Types: rotty, 3 cats 2 kids Karma: 14 Thank Location: west midlands Medals: None 2126 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Thanks Anne right to start off with he has ate the crickets no problem but his veg (carrot and parsnip) grated he hasnt touched although he has ate a dandelion leaf today we have got him some mutivitamins and calcium powder but want to make sure he has an ample diet i have been told that we can spray him with water as they like to drink this way and it also cools him down is this true and how often should we be doing it. The woman at hollybush told us yesterday that he has to eat crickets and nothing else such as mealworms but looking at other reptile forums people are giving there dragons a diet of mealworms and veg is this okay for them. Sorry for all the questions Anne but my moto is you can never have enough info lol I was dreaming of bloody crickets last night or shall i say having nightmares about them lol if your mate feeds her dragon crickets has she got any tips as to do it easier than what i tried. ____________ Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2006 12:12 pm pollaton Cat Expert Joined: May 10, 2005 Posts: 2256 Age: 33 No.Of Pets: 1 Pet Types: saint bernard Karma: 2 Thank Location: belgium Medals: None 157 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: we used to sell llive food at the pet shop sam...and needless to say we had a couple of escapee incidents. we had to spend hours searching for the little critters. thankfully we kept them in the office so they were realtively contained. ____________ Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2006 3:26 pm annestaff TopDog Joined: May 10, 2005 Posts: 2083 Age: No.Of Pets: 3 Pet Types: SBT Karma: 5 Thank Medals: 1 (View more...) 721 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: My friend only feeds her's crickets a couple of times a week and the other days he has veggies. She said if she feeds him live feed every day he won't touch his greens Maybe he's full up on his crickets Also she sprays her's down a couple of times a week and when its hot she gets him out and puts him in the dog cage in the sun and he loves it. She made him a harness out of a cat harness and he crawls on her head to bask!

We let him out for a little run and we couldnt believe how fast the little man was it was funny to watch. Had my Oh on the phone last night though panicking as the little man was resting under his lamp and was very still and my oh was worrying that his thermostat was set either too high or too low i reassured him by saying he was probably just basking but could you ask your friend Anne what temp she has hers set on at the moment spikey's is set at 82. ____________ Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 8:38 am annestaff TopDog Joined: May 10, 2005 Posts: 2083 Age: No.Of Pets: 3 Pet Types: SBT Karma: 5 Thank Medals: 1 (View more...) 721 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: She says 82 is about right Sam anything between 80 - 84 is fine for them Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 8:50 am sambo Co-Admin Joined: May 09, 2005 Posts: 1872 Age: 32 No.Of Pets: 4 Pet Types: rotty, 3 cats 2 kids Karma: 14 Thank Location: west midlands Medals: None 2126 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Thankyou Anne your a darling ____________ Posted: Tue Jul 11, 2006 10:13 am Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  All times are GMT Pet Chat Forum Index » Exotic Pet Forum Printable Version   Jump to: Select a forum Pet site information----------------Updates & AnnouncementsWebsite HelpSuggestionsFurbabies News Pet Forums----------------Pet HealthIntroshorse/donkey/goatsBird Chat ForumsHealthPet ChatExotic Pet ForumRodent chatFish ForumsPet StoriesRabbit Chat ForumPet Breeders & BreedingPet RescueOff TopicLost PetsFound PetsDiscountsRainbow BridgeDiet Cat & Dog Forums----------------Dog ForumsCat ForumsAgilityShows  Related topics  Topics   Replies   Author   Views   Last Post  Rain and wind AGAIN 29 spottydog 3139 Mon Apr 14, 2008 9:29 pm Groovyvickster Its happened again!!!! 8 CatSlave 2451 Thu Sep 29, 2005 6:06 pm nemo yet again 7 pollaton 2271 Sun Jun 12, 2005 12:06 pm Fizzyon Hi Again Everyone 20 Karen 2982 Tue May 17, 2005 2:35 pm Lu-1   All times are GMT Ported for PHP-Nuke by nukemods.com Powered by phpBB 2.0.11 © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group :: Theme & Graphics by Daz Forums ©
