Hello guys, just got my first central beardie last weekend, very excited, he is about 4 weeks old, his name is Chivas
the enclosure is 90x50x50, made by timber, left hand side is 75w Reptile one ceramic heating bulb, the other side is Reptile one UV bulb.
here comes the questions, :shock:
1. my baby beardie seems like to sleep a lot, he got home yesterday and ate 2 crickets then hide at the corner and starting sleeping, even crickets climb over him he is still asleep, is this normal, do baby beardie sleep a lot?
2. I placed the thermometer at the heater side of the enlcosure and the temp is about 28-31 degrees, is this the right temperature? at night time I turn the ceramic heater bulb to about 25 degrees and I switch the UV bulb off, am I doing the right thing?
3. I put a thin cloak of calcium over the crickets, i put 5 crickets into the enclosure at once, if beardie dont finish all of them, do I need to take the remaining crickets out by the end of day or I can leave them inside? would the crickets hurt my beardie? I am using the small crickets from pet store.
4. is 75w reptile one ceramic heating bulb enough or should I use 100w ones? or use the red colour heating bulbs?
5. do I need to give baby beardie shower regularly?
My first beardie, I want to take good care of him, please give as much as advice you can, greatly appreciated!
another question, should baby beardie go toilet everyday? havnt seen his poo poo yet...
