HOF44 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I am now the pround owner of a bearded dragon. But get this, it was the wifes idea. She has always been a fluffy poodle pet type of person. So boy was I in shock when she wanted this pet. A couple kids where she skates at have them as pets and these things seem to have personalities. I just couldn't believe she wanted a LIZARD. :laugh::laugh::laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raub Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Very cool. The wife wants a chameleon, but I think I'm going to get stuck taking care of it if we get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOF44 Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Very cool. The wife wants a chameleon, but I think I'm going to get stuck taking care of it if we get one. Me too. :laugh: This thing eats 10 to 20 crickets twice a day (tiny ones though). Plus veggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo-toni Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 How high maintenance are sugar gliders? I've heard they scratch the crap out of people and everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 They have things like wheels with fine sandpaper in then. That keeps their nails from being little needles. They are medium maintenance. Since they are up all night, you need to have a place where they won't wake you in in their cages. So, plan on engaging them most nights before going to bed. Fresh food is a must to compliment a dry food died. So, he gets fruit and vegs and unseasoned meats (sometimes). Some like to held, others don't. Lenny won't sit in your hand. He would rather be on the shoulder, or exploring around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading some stuff about them and you can't leave crickets in there cage with them at night. The crickets will eat at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
