Hey guys,
I have a 6 year old beardie named Steve and he has been healthy as can be up until about a week or so ago. He dropped a lot of weight and I chalked it up to moving his enclosure to a different part of the house but his weight loss. He is active and eating like no tomorrow. Only other thing is looser stools and more stools more often then normal. I’m thinking it’s coccidia. Is there over the counter meds to treat that?

You need to take a fecal in to have it tested before giving any med at all --- you want to know exactly whats causing the weight loss - call a reptile vet heres a website for find one www.arav.org
ask about dropping a fecal off for testing for parasites / worms - and then go from there

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
