Caring And Housing Bearded Dragons

One of the most important factors to consider before buying a bearded dragon is the environment they need to be comfortable. Bearded dragons require some space to live comfortably.

You will need a suitable area to place a tank that will house your new beardy. Most experts recommend a 125-gallon tank to house bearded dragons. The best way to ensure the tank you purchase will be large enough is to purchase the largest tank possible within your budget.

By purchasing an extra large tank, you can also save money in the future. The tank or terrarium, as it is called, will not need to be replaced as your bearded dragon grows. 

Most beardies for sale will grow to be about sixteen to twenty-four inches in size and live to be about fourteen years old with good attention and care. The amount of time you will need to spend with your beardy is also an important thing you will need to consider.

A bearded dragon is just like any other pets in that they require a time investment on the pet owner’s part. When you become a beardy owner, you will have to be ready to feed, bathe, maintain their habitat, and even take them for a walk. 

Nutritional Needs

The dietary needs of bearded dragons are a major part of purchasing beardies for sale. The right diet for your scaly friend is essential for their health and wellbeing.

When bearded dragons are babies and juveniles, they require a large amount of protein. Their primary source for protein at this age is insects. You must also determine your pet beardy’s appetite.  Determining your bearded dragon’s appetite can usually be done after a few feedings. On average, a juvenile beardy will eat three times a day.

Their favorite meals include crickets and Dubia roaches but they have also been known to eat locusts, silkworms, grasshoppers and other insects. As the juvenile beardy grows into adulthood, their diet changes significantly. They will begin to eat increasingly larger amounts of plant-based foods like leafy greens.
