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.

Beardies and Veggies
When should bearded dragons begin to eat vegetables on a regular basis? My dragon is about 3 1/2 months old, and i feed him gutloaded crickets 3 times a day as well as a bowl of greens that i leave in his cage all day. He's in great shape, 14 inches and hefty, but he seems to show little interest in the greens, though he will eat some of them every couple of days.

It seems to pick up slowly over time, have patience and he'll come around.

When they are started on them at the breeders, most eat greens really well, but if they did not get started on them in the beggining, it can be hard to get them eating greens regularly until they are several months older. Just keep trying and they will start, I had one that I was throwing out good salads for almost 6 months, now at 4 years she eats more salads with pellets than anything and a boy that is 4 years also that eat no cricekts, a few supers a week but lots of pellets and greens.
The ones that are started on greens slowly taper off on the insects as they get older and increase eating greens.. so just give him som time and he should start to eat them more.
BTW... the fact he eats some greens even is good!

I agree with what Cheri said, i just hatched out some babies about a month ago and kept them on greens from the start and they love them. But all of my adults had to be broken in  Now they all like their greens.

Mine have greens available from day 1, some still are a little slow to really start chowing hard on them.

isnt that cage bottom bad for beardies? Dont their little toes get stuck in there and get hurt (cut or broken)??? How is that better than sand or that dirt stuff?
