Hi please try to avoid sand it is not digestible and can kill your beardie. The only time they really dig is when a female is getting ready to lay eggs!! Also like they said before large crickets are way to big for them and can be very hard to digest. Make sure your basking side is about 110-115 and there cool side about 75. They also need to get within inches of their UVB light. Otherwise it is literally no good. Collard greens and other dark greens are great!! Keep it up. Also when you get a chance you might want to have them sexed. Or if you want you can do it your self. If you flip there tail at the fat part of their tale you will see either one lump or two small ones. If it is one that is a girl. If it is 2 that is a boy. Just fyi if they are a boy and girl be careful they will breed in about a year and it can be really hard on your girl. Your beardies have beautiful color good job in picking them out
