Our baby beardie Nacho ate a mysterious something when we went out for our walk. I think it was a small leaf or helicopter seed but I'm not sure.

I have activated charcoal capsules at 520 mg.
Nacho is 268 g and 17 inches long 7 months old

tank 40B w/ Reptisun T5 10.0 HO UVB 85 on cool side 105 basking
eats dubias, collard and dandelion greens. fruits on weekends. vita/calcium w/d3 5xweek

Not showing abnormal behavior. I just want to be safe in case in was something that could hurt him.

Okay so I took a guess-timate and did 1/4 capsule to 5ml water
gave 0.02 ml PO

He did not like it but I did get it in.
Do I need to do a follow up dose?

I'm sorry this post was missed! How is he doing now? I'm glad you were able to get some activated charcoal for him. Do be sure to offer plenty of water as well. If he's OK now, it was probably either nothing harmful or the charcoal did the trick. Tracie has a charcoal kit available with dosage information and an easy to mix setup that helps a lot during an emergency (the easier the better) https://bug-de-lite.com/Item/Emergency_Charcoal_Kit

We were both a little freaked out but he is acting better now. He only acted mopey for a little while and didn't want to eat or drink but I think he was upset about the charcoal. He's eating like a pig now. He took a large poo yesterday but I am going to keep watching his bowel movements. He's never tried to eat anything when we go out before so it took me by surprise. Lazy has never tried but i guess I'll have to keep a closer eye on them!
Thank you for checking in!

That happens sometimes. My guy has gone after odd things before too so I always have the charcoal kit handy when outdoors.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
