Basic Bearded Dragon Care Guide

If you are searching for a fascinatingly beautiful unique pet, why not consider a bearded dragon care. They make wonderful pets for certain types of individuals. These pets are relatively inexpensive and do not require intensive care, plus they are fun to interact with. If you are thinking about buying a bearded dragon it would be wise to familiarize yourself with the requirements that are necessary bearded dragon care and providing a habitat so that your beadier will be able to live a healthy and happy life. You should figure out if you are able to meet these requirements before you buy your dragon.
This article will focus and some of the essential things that a new bearded dragon owner needs to know. This is not a lot of material, but you need to get it right, so read it thoroughly.
Living Space
To me, juvenile bear dies are among the most adorable creatures on the planet. A ten gallon aquarium or terrarium is able to house up to two or three juveniles comfortably. You will need to provide a bowl of food  and a few branches as well as rocks for them to beech on. As with all other creatures they will grow and will need a great deal more space than the juveniles. The adult dragon will require no less than 40 gallons of space and even this size of terrarium is considered cramped. If you own more than one adult dragon the required terrarium size will increased significantly.
The fact is your beadier will require enough space to live and roam. You will first need to know if you have enough space at home to house a large aquarium and if you do you can start searching for deals online to find used aquariums. New aquariums can be quite privy.
Feeding your Bearded Dragon
What you feed your dragon will play an important role in its overall health. These creatures are omnivores; however, they should be given a diet that consists mostly of herbs. When I first bought my bearded dragon care I was told to feed him just crickets by the person who sold him to me so this is exactly what I did. My beadier was sluggish and unhealthy for a long time until I did some research and found that these lizards need more nutrients that crickets can provide. That is when I changed his diet to contain lots of leafy green vegetables, squash and carrots to his diet. He still got his fill of insects such as crickets too, but only as treats and to supplement calcium. He started to become much healthier and more vibrant. I was much more careful with my beadier after that.
When focusing on bearded dragon care, it is extremely important that you spend time working with your dragon on a one-on-one basis to get him used to a diet that almost exclusively consists of vegetables. The time required and the difficulty of this process varies from individual to individual, but can take anywhere from just a few days to several weeks. If you do not have the time to devote to this process then it is best you consider choosing another pet.
If you buy a pet you have made a commitment to take care of it and its life depends on you. Bearded dragon care care is no different. Make sure you are ready for the commitment.
