About 2 months ago Biscuit was 30 days gravid. She dug for over a week but would not lay her eggs. We were going to take her to the vet for emergency removal of the eggs when she FINALLY laid them.

Sadly most were yellow and dead right away, the rest started oozing and caving in despite having blood vessels and signs of life and eventually they died. All of them but one.

This little guy or girl was a fighter and showed strong signs of life. The weirdest part of this sole survivor was as time went buy the egg grew HUGE. It is the largest dragon egg we have ever had.

Over 2 months of incubation finally today 8.29.17 it hatched.

With a nose and tail out I breathed a sigh of relief knowing at least one of these guys made it.

I could already tell just by seeing the head this was definitely a larger than normal baby bearded dragon.

Just take a look at the size difference by a penny between a baby that hatched in July and this new big baby.

And look at the difference in eggs sizes.

And check out the comparison to this other hatchling born in July, both of them only hours old.

There is no doubt in my mind that this little guy/gal is very special. I will keep you guys posted on her/his progress on my Instagram.

Every month I review items from Chewy.com, an online pet supply store.

This month I am reviewing Flucker's Buffet Blend for Juvenile Bearded Dragons, the Veggie Variety.

The reptile food is a supplement that has dried veggies and protein pellets.

This yummy treat is great for an occasional snack or if you run out of feeder insects can be used as a supplement for a day or two.

It may take a bit for your dragons to snack on this blend as the shape is foreign to them, but you can mix it with their greens.

I did receive this item free of charge form Chewy.com, in an exchange for my honest review.

This month I am reviewing the Pangea Gecko Ledge.

This ledge is intended for Geckos but I find it works great for bearded dragons.

It has a magnetic side with 2 magnets to hold it in place.

And it has removable cups for easy feeding and cleaning.

It is very sturdy and looks like a rock ledge.

And I found it really useful for our bearded dragon cages that are high up so they can see out more easily.

I very much recommend the Pangea Gecko Ledge for any caged reptile, just be sure you mount it on the cool side and not under the basking light, it is not designed for high heat.

The baby dragons are growing fast and should be ready for new homes in a few weeks. They are getting stronger each day eating a healthy diet of crickets & greens.

Many people complain to me that their dragon won't eat greens and I firmly believe this is due to the breeder rarely feeding greens to their dragons, if at all. Dragons need a balanced diet and it is not good for them to only eat feeders all the time.

My strategy for getting new babies to eat greens is very simple. I feed my salad mix right away in the morning. Babies are hungry as soon as they wake up so they will go for the first thing served. Then a few hours later they get their feeder bugs. They quickly get used to salad first, bugs later and gobble it up before I can even dump it all in the enclosure. It is really that easy.

If you struggle to get your dragon (adult or baby) to eat veggies change up your feeding habits. Give their salad in the morning and do not feed them any feeder bugs until the afternoon and stick to it. They will get hungry enough to eat their salad eventually. Also you can give adults 1 day a week off feeder bugs entirely. Giving them only greens for a day or so will also tempt them into eating it. Dragons are smart, they will learn they are not getting any other food anytime soon and chomp their salads. And if your dragon is a shy eater give them privacy, they don't eat when you watch sometimes because they are nervous you are going to get them while they are vulnerable and distracted eating. Good luck!

I bought these cute beach toys from Target and set up a little scene.

When you are dressing up your dragon or making fun scenes like this be sure there are no sharp edges or pieces small enough for a dragon to eat.

Michonne & OC's babies started hatching this morning and I am ecstatic!

They are so tiny I can't get over it, I always forget how small they start out.

This little guy still has his umbilical cord attached, which is pretty common.

When babies hatch they are in a sound sleep, but can you blame them? They are trying out gravity for the first time after all.

To see more babies as they hatch go to my Instagram! When they are old enough to be sold to new homes they will be listed on our selling site Danny's Dragons.

Michonne laid eggs finally, after what felt like forever. She laid on 5.19.17 a total of 23 eggs, though 1 appears infertile.

It took her about an hour to get them all out. They are already white and getting more solid by the day. Dragon Eggs take 60-90 days to hatch, lets hope for 60ish.

This clutch also belongs to Orange Crush, so we are hoping for some gorgeous orange babies. To learn more on Bearded Dragon Eggs Click Here.

Honestly the hardest part about breeding is selling. Well aside from the cleaning, the feeding, watching for fighting, bathing, more feeding...but you get my point.

Baby dragons are the cutest. Their curious eyes and tiny bodies make everyone gush. Now imagine having a group of adorable babies from the day they are laid snugly in their eggs, until they hatch and see the world for the first time, raise them, hold them, then send them away. It is so hard because you grow to love them all, but at the same time if you kept them all you would go bankrupt from the food and electric bills!

In most cases we never hear from the new owners again because that's just life. I often think of past babies and hope they are out their basking away all hugely fat and happy. And for those customers that do send us updates as they grow, we love you.

We haven't had new babies for a while due to me having some personal health issues a while back. But happily we are back breeding Bearded Dragons again and we should have babies late summer/early fall, including some from OC. I will keep you all updated!
