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.

For new babies id feed greens(collard,dandylion,mustard) in the morning along with beardie diet.After theyre all asleep put it in the tank so they can wake up and eat.
In the afternoon(3-4) id feed them crix galore.As many as they can eat.After that around 6-7 id give more crix and occasional mealies also.All insects should be dusted with reptivite once a week(my prefrence, most petstores cary it).And calcium powder every day(most petstores have it).
This is just how id do it if i had a lot of babies.Hope some of this helps.

What is beardie diet? Any advice on Miner-All? I don't even know what it is.
I think I want a rock for my beardie cage. Can I get a rock from a creek? If so what do I do to it, bake? What temp for how long?
Thanks for your help/advice.

Here's a link to a caresheet that explains it well, I think.
kakadu beardie caresheet
Beardie Diet just means a commercial pelleted diet such as the one RepCal makes. It is carried at most pet stores, even PetsMart.
A rock is fine once cleaned, but you may find it easier to use driftwood so your baby can climb closer to the UVB lamp if he wants to.
Minerall is fine, but I prefer RepCal. It is easier to find at a store rather than having to pay for shipping.

I was going for a rock instead of drift wood because a caresheet said that the rock would help warm from under and above it as they absorb heat much better than wood. What do I bake the driftwood at and how long? Thanks for the site Melissa!

You can definitely use a rock. I did for a time, but I found as my beardie got larger he did not particularly care for laying flat. It was a pretty flat rock. He prefers to be partially upright draped along a branch-like piece of driftwood. I have only used driftwood that i had bought for my aquariums, so I'm not sure about baking wood. You can boil it, or if it is too big, pour boiling water over it in a large tub. I would be very careful of baking that little pieces don't catch fire. Wood will hold some heat, but not as much as rock will. Rock can easily be put in the oven. I'm not sure there are any particular guidelines, but I think 200F for an hour or so should do it. Just don't try to handle it until it cools down.

I would suggest for babies that you feed them more than 1 or 2 times a day of crickets. They have very high metabolisms and not feeding them every 2-3 hours can lead to a lot of nipped appendages. Placing too many crickets in the tank with them at one time can stress them out and lead to their not eating as well.
