Hi all

I am curious as to what are bearded dragons like as pets. How easy are they to care for? Do they like being handled? how long for.

We have a beardie at college... and he's fantastic! He loves being handled... and he's always at the front of the tank waiting for you lol

Are you thinking of getting one DK?

Yeah possibley just gonna reserach them 1st they had one at my College when i did animal care he was great too

Aww nice one good luck with it!

They have baby ones at the local petshop. they do a full set up deal too. But i want to be 100% sure that i can care for one, i think i could i just want to reserach first they're georgous.

Found these websites, don't know if they're are any good but might provide some information

Reptile Keeper - Bearded Dragon Caresheet

UK Bearded Dragons - Home & Resource of the Inland Bearded Dragon

Keeping Bearded Dragons as Pets - Reptile Expert (UK)

Thanks, I'll have a look at them, ive researched some, but feel people with the animals will be able to give better information maybe, do you need the kitten pics still?

Yeah that's true, first hand info

Ah no hun, I changed the whole layout of the leaflet and didn't use any in the end lol but thank you!

lol i know what thats like i used to do that when i did assignments.

My son has had one for 3 months now and hes great . As with any animal they are 'easy once you know how' so lots of research needed The set up is not cheap, large viv ( sectioned when its small) heat lamp, repti light and thermostat which costs a fair bit . Plus of course the logs etc for him to sit on . Then the crix which they eat alot of when young

The only thing I dislike is feeding him the crickets , which I seem to have got lumbered with doing since he started f/t work
