I have yet to find a pet carrier that is better than this pet carrier. Been using mine over a year now and refuse to even try anything else at this point.
I am sharing this product because I do not regret buying it at all, and I completely and totally love it! (This is a large) Plus, I get asked a lot 🥰

New Beardie Parent? 5 things you need to know to get started:

1️⃣ They Need Heat AND UVB (Not Just One!)
Beardies need a basking heat lamp and a strong UVB bulb to survive. One keeps them warm, the other helps them absorb calcium and avoid serious health issues like MBD.

2️⃣ Babies Eat More Bugs Than Greens
Young beardies are protein-powered, which means they need more bugs than salad. But not just any bugs — they should be gut-loaded (fed nutritious food, we love feeding ours carrots) and dusted with calcium powder to support healthy growth and strong bones.

3️⃣ You Can’t Just Wing the Setup
Pet store kits? Usually junk. Your dragon deserves better. From basking temps to safe substrates — get it right from the start to avoid expensive mistakes later.

🖥️ Grab my FREE Beardie Starter Guide here → www.bougiebeardies.com
It walks you through setup, lighting, feeding, supplements and even has an updated feeding schedule on the last page.

4️⃣ Greens Still Matter (Start Early)
Even though bugs are the main course for babies, it’s important to introduce veggies early. It sets healthy habits and prevents picky eater drama down the line. We do not recommend or feed fruit due to updated research and standards.

5️⃣ They Have BIG Personalities
Beardies are not your average pet lizard. They’re dramatic, curious, and sometimes a little spicy. Respect their pace, build trust, and you’ll have a scaly sidekick for life.

🦎 Is My Bearded Dragon Sick… or Just Estivating? 😴
Let’s talk about estivation — a natural behavior that can confuse even experienced reptile keepers.

What is Estivation?
Estivation (also called “aestivation”) is similar to hibernation, but it typically happens during the hotter months. It’s your dragon’s way of conserving energy when conditions feel too warm, dry, or stressful — kind of like a summer slowdown.

Common Signs of Estivation:
🔸 Reduced appetite or not eating at all
🔸 Less movement or more hiding
🔸 Increased sleeping
🔸 Basking less or staying in cool spots
🔸 No interest in interaction

Don’t panic — this can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks.

What Should You Do?
✅ Check temps and humidity — make sure your setup is still on point
✅ Offer food and water, but don’t force it
✅ Limit stress — avoid excessive handling
✅ Keep the lighting schedule consistent

Your dragon knows what they’re doing. Just let them rest. But if they are still eating, it is imperative they they bask for at least 2 hours after.

When to Worry:
⚠️ If your beardie loses significant weight
⚠️ Shows signs of dehydration
⚠️ Has abnormal stool or signs of illness

When in doubt, a quick vet check is always a safe bet.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep a log of their behavior, weight, and temps — it helps you notice patterns (and can ease your anxiety too!).

Have you experienced estivation with your beardie?

How to Bond With Your Bearded Dragon 🦎💚 (Without Being a Clingy Lizard Mom)

Want your beardie to actually like you and not just tolerate your existence? Here’s how to build a real connection with your scaly sidekick:

🖐️ Start Slow – Respect their space. Let them watch you from their tank and get used to your voice and movements. You’re the weird giant in their desert now.

🐉 Hand Feed Treats – Dubia roach delivery service, anyone? Feeding by hand (or tongs) builds trust fast. Just don’t flinch if they go full velociraptor.

🌿 Hang Out Together – Sit near their tank. Let them climb on you during calm moments. Beardies are curious little weirdos and love exploring their human jungle gyms.

🎶 Talk To Them – Narrate your day. Play chill music. Say their name often so they associate it with positive experiences. Whether you’re a good singer or not, sing to them if you feel like it.

😌 Be Consistent – Like any relationship, bonding takes time. Regular handling and positive interactions = a confident, cuddly (ish) dragon.

Bonus tip: Don’t force it. Some dragons are social butterflies. Others are introverted goblins. Either way, love them as they are. And don’t be frustrated with how long this bond may take. Beardies are slow to adjust, be patient and consistent and you’ll have a BFF before you know it.
