He takes any excuse to be aggressive. Filling an empty water dish? Trying to get me out to clean? Oh you just want to give me pats? He breaks out his Napoleon syndrome and LUNGES! 😂

WRONG! They need raw squash and harder raw veggies because it cleans their teeth! I just learned this the hard way. I didn't feed the more firm veggies and it caused my 2-year-old to to have teeth issues so bad that she stopped eating. I had 2 choices: "assist" feed her the rest of her life, and brush her teeth or let her go to Rainbow Bridge. I did the most humane thing to do and I let her go. They need hard veggies and bugs to clean their teeth! I found this out in a recent video and unfortunately, too late! Feed raw veggies!!!
This video is geared toward getting them back on food when an owner is struggling with getting their dragon to eat. I agree with you that they need hard elements to their diet for dental health 💯- however if you have a dragon that is off food, hard food typically won't entice them to eat.
@@alotllove6723 I'm sorry I took it the wrong way simply because it can be difficult to keep a large selection of foods when you only having 1 bearded dragon. Just losing my Aspen and seeing that just set off a trigger reaction because I did 2+ years of research and only found out about "mouth issues" and I don't know how or why I missed it?! After all the videos, how? So, I really am sorry. She was the most awesome girl. I'll mention this, as well. I lost a baby dragon when her teeth? got disconnected from her jaw and she was nowhere old enough to be eating anything more than greens (well, besides bugs). If my new baby, Echo, ends up with similar issues, I'm done. The love and care that goes into a beardie and to lose is unbearable. I couldn't handle it again. I hope you understood where I was coming from. I was just expressing what I had just learned. 💯
@@EmzNotBroken1972 hey it's all good! As keepers it's awesome to exchange info and help people learn new things! I'm so sorry about your baby. I get it. I rescued an older dragon 2 years ago and lost her recently and I'm still missing her. They are just such amazing pets and companions I know it's hard. I def appreciate you helping get the word out about dental health though- it gives me an idea for doing a segment on a new video soon!
@@alotllove6723 I truly appreciate your understanding. I subbed to your channel to watch your videos. I hope to see a video about the topic we discussed because I never really knew about hard veggies and their importance. I thank you for being kind and not being harsh. Thank you so very much. I have started my new little one on squash and carrots in already so she can get used to them. Also, all the chopping and dicing was a pain! But, I found a godsend. It's only $20 and it's a Ninja chopper. Easy to use, makes the perfect size veggies and is easy to clean! Well worth the money and makes prep a snap! It works great even for greens! Just trying to help when prep feels tedious 😁
@@alotllove6723I saw the video that maybe your son did on the loss of Brian. My heart shattered. I found out just a short time beforehand and couldn't believe it. Brian was such a great person. We lived in Wisconsin when we 1st started watching him and we discussed going to see him. Wish we would have. 💔
I do agree. However, there are MANY consumers that are dead set on BIG. I spend a lot of time talking people out of savannahs. People think they are easy since they are cheap. I do find tegus are a bit easier than the savannah though and yes, we have both.
using slate is really shabby . give them something to dig in .... its bad for ther joints. u can even see in the video it cant even stand properly it just slides
I feel like substrate when it comes to dragons is such a debated topic that lots of people have arguments for and against most choices. We go with tile because it is very sanitary and with having 8 bearded cleanliness is super important. I do understand where you are coming from but we do this for sanitary reasons
I enjoyed watching your video & wanted to say that you're the first snake channel that I've seen with a cat & it is nice to see (I have 2 cats myself & am hoping to get a snake, soon). Your snakes are all very adorable & your explanations about the ins & outs of feeding them were informative.
