I am thinking of getting a bearded dragon. I have had alot of pets (dogs, cats, birds, rodents…etc.) over the years and am fairly experienced at keeping pets, but I have never had a lizard of any kind. I was told a Beardie was a good first lizard. I need advise on feeding and especially housing. Are crickets better then worms? What is the best housing? I was looking up habitats on petstore sites, but I don’t know what’s better, the aquariums, or the screened cages. It seems like the airflow in the screen cages wouls be better, but I am worried the lizard will damage it and escape, and one reviewer on one site said he had problems with CRICKETS eating the screens! Also, what is more important to the Beardie, floor space to strech out, or head space to climb up (a long enclosure or a high enclosure)? If you know a good website to order good habitats from that would be apreciated! ThanX.

i was opening my shed today and i found that a nest next to my shed had been ripped off and the baby birds inside were thrown out on the ground, all were dead (there were 4 of them all together) but one, the 1 that is alive is in a cardboard box that has an old birds nest from a previouse cat attack, the nest is all together, the bird is sitting inside, with a heatlamp shining on the side of the nest to warm it up, not directly on it, but my question is how often should i feed it? and what? i wound some worms in my backyard and fed it 3 of them, just little tiny ones, about 1-1.5 in long, it gobbled those up strait away. then it pooped in my hand. (i washed my hands with soap befor and after i touched the bird thank you). the bird seems active, it almost stood up, rolled around onmy hand, shook its head and opend its eyes. so what should i feed it and how often? and yes i know its tecnically “illegal” to care for a wild bird.

i always see the dad robin with worms in his mouth and he hops over near the nest like he’s going to feed the babies but he never does? why does he do this. o and they have been hatched for about 2 weeks now and very big already……when will they fly away? im gonna miss them but curious to know
I recently took one of the nest on the ground and there were four bird babies inside. I don’t have acess to buy new food in the pet store for them, also i have no cat or dog food. What should I feed them, I have no worms in my house either. Can I feed them chewed rice or someting?
I found a baby bird..its a starling….what do i feed it..besides the obvious..worms etc…or will it just die?
i want to help it live.
