Bearded dragons can make fascinating, beautiful, unique pets for certain kinds of people (see my previous article on how to determine if a bearded dragon is right for you.) They are relatively inexpensive, don't require intensive care or fancy accessories and can be fun to interact with. For those who are thinking about purchasing a bearded dragon, it is wise to first familiarize yourself exactly the kind of care and living conditions they will require in order to live healthy, happy lives, and to honestly ask yourself whether or not you can reasonably meet their needs.
This article will cover some of the essential things to know for new bearded dragon owners. There is quite a lot of material to cover, so the article is broken into two parts.
Living Space
Juvenile beardies are (to me) some of the most adorable creatures on the planet. As many as two or three can live comfortably inside a cheap 10 gallon aquarium or terrarium with nothing fancier than a bowl for food and some branches and rocks to beek on. They have the tendency, however, as most creatures do to outgrow their miniature youthful stature and require a great deal more space than was originally planned on or allocated. An adult bearded dragon must have no less than 40 gallons of space in their home, and even this is considered to be fairly cramped. If you have more than one dragon then this number increases significantly. The bottom line is that your beardie will definitely need room to roam, so decide now if you have room in your home for a large aquarium and start looking for deals on craigslist (since new ones can be quite pricey.)
Feeding
The diet you feed your dragon plays a vital role in determining his overall health. Bearded dragons are omnivores but should be fed a predominately herbivorous diet. When I bought my first diet the people who sold him to me told me to feed him crickets and that was it, so that's what I did. It turned out he wasn't getting the nutrients he needed so was sluggish and unhealthy most of his life, and took ill and died quite young. We realized it was because we should've been feeding him a diet of green leafy vegetables, carrots and squash all along, with intermittent feedings of crickets and other insects, so with my next beardie I was much more careful.
It is important that you take the time to work with your dragon one on one in order to get him used to eating a diet of almost exclusively salad. How long and difficult this process is varies on a case-by-case basis, and can be anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks. If you don't think you'll be able or willing to devote the time, it's definitely time to consider another pet. The process of introducing young dragons is another article in and of itself, which I will be writing and posting in the future to address the topic thoroughly.
This concludes Part 1 of my basic beardie care guide. In Part 2 I will address additional concerns like the need for vitamin supplements, heat lamps and UV lamps, cleaning, and regular full body soaking.
