OK, I know this is gonna sound weird, but I would love feedback. Loki had a faulty bulb, and ended up with mbd. He injured his jaw, and had to have a small piece removed. I've been feeding him liquid diet (dried ground dandelion greens, and a whole lot of supplements in it). He's got a new mega...

OK, Nexus is 6 now, and he's just getting over an ear infection (he scratched his ear and tore a hole in the tympanic membrane). I have been giving him repta-boost and bene-bac with the antibiotics, and every time he eats the repta-boost he gets hyper right away. He loves it, and eats it like...

Thanks for the reply, I think you may be right about some type of food poisoning. Well, we ate the chicken as well, and if anyone's immune system is down, it's John's. Between the kidney stones and hit gluten intolerance (and trouble adhering to the diet...lol), he'd have gotten sick. However...

Well, we'd given them acidophilous all weekend and both seem much more normal. Loki's eating again, and Nexus isn't doing anything weird anymore (or getting spasms in his tummy). We'd planned on getting them to the vet today if nothing improved, but Loki is eating and basking normally, and Nexus...

Both our beardies appear to be Ill as of late. Nexus and Loki. Nexus is on his way to 5yrs old and loki a year younger. Neither have ever been sick before. We take very good care of them. The problem started over a month ago with loki. He had a normal appetite but he started pooping more often...

I've owned two ferrets in my life. One made it to 11. Both were rescued from less then ideal conditions. I loved them. They terrorized the family cats (seriously, you didn't wanna make them mad). And I swear for 10 years afterward we were finding things that had been hidden by them. I can see...

I've got two from a petstore, and they both have been pretty healthy. But they won't touch crickets. They mostly prefer mealworms with roaches now and then. Giant mealworms also work. From what I've learned from others on another forum about geckos, mealworms are quite good for them. If you...

Well, we got 2 females back in May, and they seem to enjoy living together. If one comes out, when she goes back into the tank, she'll check to see the other is in their hut. (They have separate hides, but they'll share the big one now and then) They don't seem to fight, even over food. They...

The pet bed is a good size for a cat, they can climb out. And since they sleep together without trouble, they also with travel in it without fighting. Seems to help with them getting along. They will fight over other things, at other places, so we always keep an eye out. It's tough with two...

Well, I've been so busy lately. Sorry I haven't been posting much, but all is well with our scaly friends (Loki is closing in on a year old). In fact, we just got two leopard geckos last week. We've been taking pictures here and there, since we have a photo album we plan on filling with our...

All three of them loved going in the window. We did that every day it was warm enough. They also went in the windows in the front of the house earlier in the day. Actually, the neighbors on that side have met Nexus. They are kinda fond of him. He's rather popular with all our friends. Oscar...

I know I've posted some of these in the past, but many haven't been posted before. I just felt like showing some of our favorite pics throughout the years. Baby Nexus (from 2006) First pics ever First day in his first tank (he's had 3) He was shy when he was tiny. So he loved hiding under...

I've posted a few pics of Nexus and Loki snoozing together, so here's some recent snuggle pics. That's Nexus resting his head on Loki's butt. Strange, since Nexus normally wants to sleep on the softest, fluffiest, comfiest pillows in the house. lol And Loki usually tries to burrow when it's...

I'm so happy to hear he's doing better! I remember when my boyfriend and I first got Nexus, it was sooooo confusing at first. And it's tough when they're a picky eater. Nexus still will only eat when hand fed. He'd refused food for long times before. We'd had to force feed him chicken baby food...

Ok, now, I know males are territorial. We originally have Nexus in our bedroom, and Loki in the guest bedroom. Everything was fine, they had no problem with each other outside of their tanks. The only time there was any issue was if Loki came into the bedroom while Nexus was in his tank. He'd go...
