He doesn't have the eye and head issues but is close to as skinny... I've tried the baby food and pedialyte...He was just ignored by a family who's kids went away to college...I tried the green style baby food any other suggestions that might stimulate his appetite? I even put mushed Super...

I've taken in beardies that were a little neglected or too wild for their owners. However, recently I took on one that I think is beyond recovery. He is SUPER thin (basically a skeleton with rough skin covering it) and doesn't want to eat. What suggestions do you all have. No parasites from...

LOL...Amen there!!! Let me know when you find out the trick... :D :D

I'm gonna jump in and suggest to not only look at the breeders but what you are looking in that female. I say that because like many things in life, people specialize. Thus, for certain morphs I'd choose a certain breeder even if they aren't the biggest or the most expensive. If you're trying...

Depending on how many beardies you have it might take a while till your colony is self-sustaining...It does take a bit of time before the babies become good sized nymphs for the mid-sized/sub-adults...And the larges might be pushing it for the full-growns depending how big your breeders are...

Yes, I'd take her to the vet as soon as possible...More than likely a bout of Coccidia and a treatment of Baycox should clear the stools up of the blood...Take a fresh sample of the stool in a ziplock to the vet and they'll run a smear or float on it and give you meds before you leave, more than...

Well, I was bathing and cleaning and thought I'd snap some quickie pickies... Kekoa: Kainoa: Leilani: Keala: Alana:

Possibly coccidia...I'd take her to the vet and have them do a fecal test...A run of Baycox will fix the little beardie up in no time...

Yes, they go from gross with clear fluid to grosser w/darker fluid when they're older fat and chunky hornworms...You're beardie will be okay...

Right now my girl has a dinosaur-like frill on her head because of the shedding...All of mine are in some form of shed right now...

I've used sand in the past, but now I use paper as the substrate for mine. Easier to clean when the numbers start to increase and time is limited.

+1 for Rob and Greatlakeshornworms...Also, Jonathan of The Worm Company has great superworms too...

Plastic, they won't chew through...But styrofoam, you'll find surprises after a short amount of time... :( or at least I did way back in the day!!

I only had males escape...Found them dead all over the house...Kids weren't too happy and guests were a little shocked too...LOL :lol: I escape-proofed all my tubs by putting window screen over the 1/4 mesh...For the last 5 months no escapees...Wooo hoo...

Well said...It's better to be safe than sorry, especially if you've invested a "pretty penny" in your new family member...I love the vets that will do the screenings w/o bringing the animal in, but those are few and far between or after you've built up a good relationship with them...The dragon...
