to keep a Bearded dragon in your own home! -
Dear Bearded Dragon Keeper,
The popular Inland Bearded dragon (Pogona
vitticeps), the new
“household dog”, the “new pet on the block”, is attracting a
lot of attention in the exotic pet trade during the last few
years. These lizards have earned a lot of respect as
extremely docile, interesting, easy and fun to keep reptile
pets. Radical words such as fascinating, extreme, wonderful
and many more are being used by keepers to describe these
them. Bearded dragons are also popular because of their
small size en suitable for both experienced and beginner
reptile keepers alike.
These Australian lizards are now seen in
large numbers even outside their natural environment. Advances
in technology have made it possible to keep these
extraordinary desert animals in your own home. Information
has made it possible to feed these animals better than what
they are used to even in their natural habitats.
Unfortunately although this is true, a
lot of these animals don’t get the attention and husbandry
they need. Some people fail because of ignorance while
others are confused by the different opinions on the keeping
of these animals. I have experienced that the vast majority
of medical related problems in Bearded dragons are caused by
incorrect husbandry (keeping, feeding, supplementing etc.).
As a veterinary practitioner with a special interest in
Bearded dragon medicine I’ve seen them all. Some will live,
some will unfortunately die, but what is certain is that
most of these expensive to treat or terminal diseases and
conditions could have been prevented!
If you are reading this, you most
certainly must be a Bearded dragon keeper who wants to be
responsible and know how to properly care for your
fascinating little friend.
My solution to you:
The Advanced Bearded Dragon Manual. This eBook has it all, all the basic
information you will definitely need to keep a pet Bearded
dragon, including housing, selecting and purchasing, handling
and feeding and loads of more advanced and interesting topics, most
never seen in any other Bearded dragon book.
Weather you are doing research before
buying a new pet Bearded dragon, already own a Bearded
dragon or are curious
to find out everything there is to know, this eBook is for you. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
The Advance Bearded Dragon Manual covers all the
aspects needed to keep a healthy pet Bearded dragon and more. The
eBook is written in the same fashion and explanatory level than the
hugely popular Basic Bearded Dragon, with the only difference that
it contains more and more in depth Bearded dragon information.
Some of the topics covered include Bearded dragon
care, anatomy, biology, the purchasing, handling
and feeding of these animals. It also includes detailed information
on the correct and different methods of Bearded dragon housing, a comprehensive
zoology section where Beardies are seen in their natural
environments, loads of feedstuffs with recipes that can be fed to
both Beardies and feeder crickets, correct supplementation, Bearded
dragon legislation, cricket breeding, Bearded dragon breeding and
incubator setup, major Bearded dragon health issues, basic emergency
care, import, quarantine and biosecurity and many more.
