Introduction

Bearded dragons are fascinating pets. They’re friendly, sociable, and easy to take care of. However, as with any pet, it’s important to keep them active and engaged. One way to do that is by providing them with a DIY bearded dragon swing.

In this article, we’ll show you how to make a bearded dragon swing on a budget. We’ll go over the materials needed and the steps to follow. We’ll also provide tips on how to make the swing safe and comfortable for your pet.

Materials

• PVC pipe
• Thick rope or wire
• Drill and drill bits
• Hacksaw
• Sandpaper

You can find all the materials needed in any home improvement store. The PVC pipe should be thick enough to support the weight of your bearded dragon. The rope or wire should also be sturdy and strong.

Steps

Step 1: Cutting the PVC pipe

Measure and cut the PVC pipe into two pieces of equal length using a hacksaw. Sand the sharp edges with sandpaper.

Step 2: Drilling the holes

Using a drill and drill bits, make two holes on each PVC pipe, about an inch from the ends. The holes should be big enough to fit the rope or wire through.

Step 3: Attaching the rope or wire

Thread the rope or wire through the holes on each PVC pipe. Tie knots on both ends to secure them in place.

Step 4: Hanging the swing

Find a suitable place in your bearded dragon’s enclosure to hang the swing. Make sure it’s high enough off the ground to provide a swinging motion but not too high that it becomes an injury risk for your pet.

Tie the other ends of the rope or wire to the enclosure, making sure that the swing is balanced and stable.

Tips

• Make sure that the swing is sturdy and can support the weight of your bearded dragon.
• Use a non-toxic and easy-to-clean material for the swing.
• Do not leave your bearded dragon unattended while on the swing.
• Remove the swing if your bearded dragon doesn’t use it or if it becomes unsafe.
• Clean and disinfect the swing regularly.
