My bearded dragon ate a tiny piece of a potato leaf (about 1cm x 1cm). I know it's highly poisonous and taking him to a vet in a few hours. What can I do in the meantime?!

To slow down his metabolism, I'm keeping him in a cooler place, so the leaf won't start getting break down in the stomach.

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Get him to eat activated charcoal. You can buy some at the pharmacy. It’s good to keep on-hand.

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.

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
