Celsius, ambient tempera-
tures of 28-30 degrees and
a cool end of approximately
24-26 degrees. They will
require 10-12 hours of heat
and intense (10.0) UVB
light in order to grow and
thrive. Bearded dragon
hatchlings also need fre-
quent feeds of appropriately
-sized, calcium-and-vitamin
-coated live insects 2-3
times per day and in addi-
tion can be offered finely
cut greens. Take care to
monitor the hatchlings for
signs of dominance or
aggression and ensure your
enclosures are not over-
crowded with too many
lizards, as this will result in
tail and toe nips.
After approximately 6-8 weeks of growth, the
hatchlings will be ready to go to their new homes. It
is the responsibility of the breeder to ensure each
baby goes to an appropriate home with people that
are sufficiently educated and equipped to care for
the animal over its lifetime.
