yeah thanks mate,
the forum i found is http://www.beardeddragon.org/
they are for sure very fragile animals, you cant feed them anything bigger than the gap between their eyes, or it will cause impaction ( cant digest and gets stuck in bowels and they die)
im going to get a baby, and they eat up to 50 crickets a day until they become adults, where they eat locusts and cockroackes ect...
im going to build the cage (enclosure) myself, and i know exactly my plan!
going to have hill, cave, slopes, platform, basking spot and more, also all the surfaces will be smooth and water resistant so they are easy to clean!
they have to stay at a minimum 65 degrees (Fahrenheit) all the time, or they are at risk of dieing!
bearded dragons can live as log as 10 - 12 years, so mikeh your friend must have been suffered from impaction!
cheers guys,
Matt
