Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Male Beardie wont eat...
When my male and female beardie were hibernating they didnt eat much...since then my female beardie layed her eggs and she is eating plenty now but a month later...even the male beardie still isn eating. They are both seperated and dont get much contact...they both get the same temp range...coldest area is upper 70s and warmest is 95-100. The male is more inactive and occasionally takes a bite at the red beardie dragon bites (those square little dragon treats)....but thats all he'll ever eat...and only 2 or 3 mini squares a day...which is the equiv. of a mealworm..which is hardly anything for a 9 month old beardie.
His body structure appears still healthy thankfully...muscles and bones look fine...cant see any ribs...just an empty stomach...like he cant get out of hibernation mode...
any suggestions?
anything would be appreciated...would hate to loose this lil fellow..

Forgot to mention...the size of their cage is a 6 foot tank (20 inch wide by 20 inch high)...split in two by a divider...each beardie gets half of it..

Hello
Hello,
How old is your UVB & what type of UVB do you have? It may be time to change that. Also, you could stand to up the temps just a tad, maybe to 105 to provide more heat.
See if that helps out any to bring your male around a bit more.
Are they both around 9 months old? How long did they brumate for? Do they have adequate fat stores on them? They were awfully young to have gone into brumation though being that young.
