Answer 1

Bearded Dragon Hatchlings should be raised in a small (15 gallon) aquarium for optimal growth. This way they do not have far to look for their food, as crickets tend to stay away from bright spots - and that is where your dragon will spend most of its daylight time. Use a 40 or 60 watt spotlight at one end above a basking rock (Not a heat rock, just a plain rock). The height of the rock or the wattage of the bulb need to be adjusted to get the top (surface) basking spot to a 105 - 115 degree range, for the baby dragons need to get very warm to digest their food. Set a temperature gauge on the highest part of the rock for an hour and check the temperature.. (Please do not guess.) Basking under a light is a more natural way for dragons to receive heat. ( Not only does the dragon receive heat from above, but the light also warms the rock, creating heat for their belly, which aids in digestion.) Make sure the other side of the tank stays cooler, around 80-85 degrees. This will provide the baby bearded dragons with a suitable environment to let them regulate their body temperature. Night time temperatures can safely drop into the sixties.

Answer 2

A baby beardie has a diet mainly of pinheads, that is very tiny crickets, don't try feeding them anything else at this young age, dust once a day, or at least 4 times a week and not every meal, try feeding the baby at least 3 times a day, remember they are very active the warmer they are and then the more they will eat,
Do not feed the baby worms until they are about 4 - 5 months old, u may be able to feed them silkworms, but nothing else. Believe me I have a baby beardie with an attitude the size of her and it is a hell of a lot harder rearing her than what it was rearing my male beardie

Answer 3

Separate your dragons and your problem would be solved. they do no longer seem to be meant to stay jointly except they're mating, it incredibly is a great way too early for a 4 month previous dragon, they dont attain sexual adulthood till ultimately around a million 12 months.

Answer 4

I am just going to refer you to some great sites. Feel free to message me with any particular questions regarding the care of bearded dragons. Unless your cousins have done a lot of research with breeding and incubating the eggs, they most likely are not going to hatch. It costs between $250-$350 for a bearded dragon ($69 one) and it's setup. Just a heads up. Anyway, they make awesome pets and here are some sites....

Answer 5

One more thing to add - find a reliable rource of very small crickets. Feeding too large of prey to hatchlings can harm them. You should never feed adults anything larger than the space between their eyes and babies should get even smaller food than this (which on a hatchling is pretty darn small!).
