LulaC Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Hi there, I've been looking for bearded dragons in NZ and finally found a clutch coming to my local pet store. They'll be ready to sell at 2 months old, is that too young to get (for a first time reptile owner?). I know it's not ideal to get younger than a month, but is 2 months still too young or is it okay? Any advice will be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Two months old will be fine. Make sure you have live insects of an appropriate size and cut up fresh salad vegetables finely to make it easier for them to eat. The care sheet at the beginning of this section is good and the link to beautiful dragons gives good information on salad vegetables. I feed mainly dandelion leaves, nasturtium leaves and pea or bean leaves but have a look at the list and see what works best for you. A good sized water container that they can hop in and out of will help them stay hydrated. They do not recognise standing water but if they hop in the dish the water moves and they are more likely to drink it. Being Australian it is claimed they only recognise xxxx.
