Yes they are very fast buggers. Be careful whenever you open the enclosure, my male once took off when I was opening it to clean out the cage, while it was only open a crack. Took 3 months to catch him again.
Cypress mulch used for pet cages goes by the brand name of ZooMed Forest Floor here.
The humidity in my enclosure is roughly 80% (+/- 10% guages aren't all that accurate) so I find I don't need a humid hide.

<added by edit> Forgot to add that you should use calcium supplements without vitamin D3 in it.
Heres a tokay forum, its no AB though.

In reply to Cirith-no,bearded dragons never switch to an ALL vegetarian diet.They gradually eat more veggies and less insects as they get older until,when they are adults,they're diet should be about 20% insects,80% vegetables.Not a good pet to leave alone for a week though,seeing as how they eat every day.
As my reccomendation,I say Pac-Man frog.I NEVER thought i would ever get a frog,i was just into snakes,lizards,and inverts,but now,i love mine.I have an albino named "The Blob",lol.He is an eating machine.As far as i can tell,he loves lobster roaches,...and just about everything else that moves:razz:
If your looking for something to help you cut down on your colony,they're definitly worth taking a look at.I just keep mine on moist peat,with a water dish.Keep em warm,and feed em alot,and thats it:clap: .When they are adults,they can be left for a week without feeding,if they have a big meal prior to you leaving.Just hook a dripper up to its water dish,and hes set for that week off.
