Thank you for the advice for the bath it really made him feel a lot better.My mom made him swim in a bath tub in till he pooped.We are feeding him three times a day, now and only ten crickets at a time. Thank you again, Ryan :-D

Hi, Mom & Ryan are responding here: The temperature in the basking spot is 93.2 F and the humidity is 31%. (we checked with another thermometer). We've made the following changes within the past 2 weeks: New 40 gallon tank for Kai. He was sharing a 40 gallon tank with Zane, we put a wall...

Hi - I submitted a Beardie ER topic 2 months ago, and you guys saved Zane 's life. Thank you. Now I'm turning the microphone (keyboard?!) over to my twin 8-year old boys. They will hopefully be engaging in conversations with this fantastic forum. Ryan submitted a topic tonight in Beardie ER...

Oh I forgot to tell you that he does not have sand in his cage.

You helped us a few months ago with "Zane", now we need help with "Kai" PLEASE! Hi my name is Ryan.I'm eight years old.My dragon Kai is behaving weird. He won't eat and he is not sitting under his heat light and he has not pooped for two days. He is staying away from his heat lights. And the...

Yea! Zane is "right as rain"! He had somehow jumped out of his New York City apartment within the tank and was laying on Kai this morning. I didn't realize he could leap 5 inches, I'm just glad he's okay after that little stint. Maniac. So we'll have to do something else to separate them...

:blob5: :blob8: He's Eating Again!!! :blob5: :blob8: Zane just caught and ate 5 crickets this morning and then ate some babyfood! We'll feed him a little more later today, but I'm SO excited! I couldn't wait to give everyone here a quick update: YEA!!! Thank you thank you thank you for...

Diamc, Sorry, my train of thought wasn't very clear; I was asking about 97 degrees being too hot for the tank temperature. I thought that was close to an ideal tank temperature? Am I off here? I'll make some modifications for bath time tomorrow, I didn't even consider putting a bath towel...

Update Zane is still hanging in there. He's as perky as usual, he just hasn't eaten in three days... He poo'ed, though. The coil UVB is turned off. The new UVB light should be arriving in two days. Baby food was a bust. We tried everything; mixed it with greens and put the mash on top of...

Dragginfly, thank you; I just went to measure the temperature with a cooking probe thermometer thing and it turns out the tank is possibly 10 degrees hotter than what our tank gauge is reading. One gauge is reading 87, the other 97. Eek! Phoey. I wanted to run around today getting baby food...

Okay, everything has been ordered through Amazon. Tomorrow, if the technology gods are feeling generous, I'll post some pictures of the little fellows. On a completely unrelated side note, those little yellow and green smilies jumping up and down on the side of my computer screen are...

We have a round dial thermometer. Our local pet stores don't have any of the lights you guys suggested, so we're going to order them online. Zane didn't eat anything today. When the food came out he got all excited like he usually does, and even made a lunge at a cricket (missed). But then he...

Okay, apparently my hubby hijacked my thread. He's the technical writer, I'm the emotional one, in case you were getting two different "vibes" ... Anyhow, the little dudes are separated now. We put a plastic bin into the center of the tank so he had access to the heat, lined it with felt...

No domination issues yet. Until the last couple days, they have been eating the same amount of food. Injury was something I was thinking about as well. Temps get up to around 90. I'll change out the bulb and see if I can get it a little hotter.

Thanks for that link Amanda, very informative. I guess I need to go to the pet store tomorrow and get another setup. Thanks again.

No baths. We have set them in the water dish before- occasionally they take a drink. Heads are not submerged though (water is only about 5 mm deep). They get water spray a couple times a day.

Symptoms have come to a head the last two days. I could only get the dragon to take one cricket today (hand fed). I'll switch out the lights but I think something else is going on. Thanks for the response.

Crickets are dusted with calcium not vitamins. Now that the ill dragon is not eating, he probably isn't getting much calcium. Dragons are housed together, no fighting, they seem to be getting along. Frequently they will both be on the log getting heat. Tank size is 36x18x16 (40L). The...

Hi! We're new to bearded dragons, but excited and dedicated to learning about them. Our twin boys each got one for their 8th birthday. They are babies and so, so cute, I never thought I'd say that about a lizard, but I'm hooked. One's suddenly not doing so well, and I've asked for help on...

We have 3 lights; (I'm reading off the packages here) Day Blue Light Incandescent Bulb 150 Watt, Flourescent Coil Bulb 20 Watt Vatios, Night Black Heat Incandescent bulb. He's acting like he's drunk; can't walk straight, etc. It's so sad. -Jodi
