My girl Zeussy just laid 30 eggs yesterday, two months after waking up from a short 4 week hibernation. She lost her appetite the week leading up to it as she usually does (her third time laying eggs) and thankfully today her appetite came back chasing crickets and eating her fruits. I am...

Do you mean that he has only defecated 5 times in the past 4 months?! If so that is not good a good sign. Where they normal well formed stools or diarrhea? Yes the bathing will help with hydration, not as much as giving him water directly but they will absorb a small amount through their skin...

Can you post a picture of her? Thats odd that she appears bloated but is not constipated at all. I would definitely take her to a vet if she appears ill tomorrow also. Is she still sneezing? Does her breathing appear to be labored? Is she still active or just lying around lazily?

Hello, sorry to hear about your beardie. Definitely get him off of the chicken baby food diet for now. Does he have regular stool? How often does he go? The meds for treating parasites can tax the liver and kidneys as well as the digestive system so that could be why he still hasn't had...

My big girl Zeussy (named her Zeus before we found out she was female :lol: ) had a fall last summer and we quickly realized she had hurt her leg. We waited a couple of weeks to see if it would heal itself but when her knee got swollen we took her in for x-rays. The x-ray showed a fracture on...

Sorry to hear about your beardie, i hope she gets better soon. A warm bath twice a day before the honey treatment would definitely help her re-hydrate and get her bowels moving well again.

It sounds like she might have a respiratory infection, the experts here will give you great advice on how to treat it. For now definitely keep an eye on her temps, make sure she is comfortable and warm. The bloated stomach does seem like there could be a digestive issue but there are other...

He's still very young, when you say one piece of greens about how big is it, is it larger than the size of his head? They can be very fussy with food, especially at that age, if you continue a regular feeding schedule with greens in the morning and later in the day attempt to feed some greens...

He's very cute! He does look a little dehydrated, judging by the folds around his back/belly area. A good test to see if your beardie is dehydrated is to gently pinch there skin and if it settles back quickly they are well hydrated, whereas if it doesn't settle and remains raised/pinched they...

I would stay away from feeding the can-o-crickets or any other dry insect because they are low in moisture of course and can be hard to digest and may cause impaction at such a young age.

When you got him in November did he have any health issues? I would slow down the chicken food mix because that is all protein and to much without any other nutrients from greens could cause liver damage. The calci worms are also high in protein and fat, they are best fed sparingly along with...

It sounds like your beardie has some form of impaction. In addition to what AHBD said i would try giving your little guy some olive oil, about a half a teaspoonful with his next meal. That will help lubricate his bowels and perhaps allow whatever is held up to pass. Until then i would give...

Hello, how old is your Beardie? The activities you described do sound like normal brumation behavior. How is your beardies appetite/diet? They tend to eat less before going into brumation, sometimes showing less interest in chasing food around, or going longer between bathroom breaks...

Hello, it would really help if you could take a picture of the lump. It makes a great deal of difference the lump is located. When you touch it does your beardie react at all? If it is painful it could be a broken bone or a partial impaction that might still allow enough food to pass through...

Thanks guys, yah it must have been so unimaginably uncomfortable for her those past two months but its out!!! haha Heres a couple shots of her now, first was a little while after her ordeal she was chilling getting some sun on the deck. The second is her new favorite spot on the window sill in...

I had just begun to think for sure that Zeussy didn't eat the plastic baggy because she showed no changes in appetite, digestive schedule, behavior. Lo and behold, today she did her usual ritual of jumping on the lawn, eating a couple of her favorite weeds (dandelion greens), and then she had...

Well after warming up outside for a bit she defecated and it seemed a little small but i attribute that to her limited diet at the moment. Once again i didn't notice her straining at all to push it out. Yesterday her stool was bigger with urates, and looked more normal. She is currently...

Hi guys, Yah it is crazy that she ate the baggy but its my fault for leaving it in front of her with the dusted crickets inside. Im guessing she didn't realize the bag was even there when she lunged for a cricket and that's how it must of happened. Tracie: Her stools have been the same size...

UPDATE: Zeussy ate the baggy on sunday, and now five days later she has not shown any signs of anything being wrong. She pooped again today, which looked very normal with no signs of blood or anything else. She has pooped at the same time each day so she has a very regular bowel movement...

Hi Tonja, thanks for the reply. I am 100% positive she ate the baggie, i wish i could say otherwise but i checked every possible place and did not see it anywhere to my dismay. I havent contacted the vet yet only because i didn't notice any behavioral changes in Zeussy especially when it came...
