Bearded dragon Pogona barbata
Animals in our sanctuary
Louis
Louis is one of the many reptiles that are kept by private owners, but who cannot take care of the animals. The animals are brought in by the owner at an animal shelter or are taken in after they have been dumped and found by other people.
Louise
Louise is one of the many reptiles that are kept by private owners, but who cannot take care of the animals. The animals are brought in by the owner at an animal shelter or are taken in after they have been dumped and found by other people.
Kroko
Kroko comes from a private owner. The man had bought her and another bearded dragon over the internet. As the health of the man himself worsened, the care for the animals became more and more difficult.
Where does he feel most at home?
The central bearded dragon is only found in the semi-deserts of Australia.
What's his favourite food?
They will eat everything from plants to insects or small rodents, and are opportunists; the will eat the first kind of food they will find. This is because they live in low-nutrient areas.
Fun fact
Typical behaviour for the central bearded dragon are their head movements. They will nod ‘yes’ to impress females or to intimidate other males.
And like their name suggests, they have a nice beard they can inflate to impress each other.
