Update 2: Just came back from the vet. She said the pinworm count (3 on the slide) is too low for her to want to treat him, since the meds can put them off their food. I looked into pinworms right after getting the test results back and saw similar answers on this forum, so I'm going to assume...

Update: Finally got the test results back (after calling them on Friday and again on Monday...) and it turns out he has pinworms. I hear it's a common parasite, I'm just concerned about him brumating with the pinworms in his system. His fat pads look good so far, but if he is only eating this...

So Nara is 9 months old now and showing signs of going into brumation. Less appetite (sometimes not eating for days, or eating a tiny bit), sleeping all day, sometimes avoiding his basking spot. Though he never seems to want to go into an actual hide, no matter what I make for him. He will...

That's the thing, he used to love baths until very recently. I've been bathing him regularly just to make sure he gets hydration and can shed easily-- he won't drink from a bowl and I don't want to make his environment too humid by misting. It's also a time when I take him out in the sun (we...

My 8-month-old beardie doesn't usually glass dance. He'll only glass dance when he wants to tell me something (usually that he wants potty, or that he went potty in the viv). However, lately when I put him in his bath (plastic tub, hand hot water with Reptisafe conditioner) he repeatedly bumps...

Omg that's so heartwarming!!!! What a beautiful coincidence, or gift, that you were able to save him and in turn saved each other! He looks so happy and healthy now! As someone who has been through depression I can say my beardie baby Nara helps me immensely. Caring for him gives me a reason to...

So I left the room for a few minutes and when I came back Nara had gotten into the baby food. I usually put some in his dish, the "only a few ingredients" organic kind with squash and other veggies they can eat, and in this case some blueberry...

I've heard 10-12 hours of UVB is optimal for beardies, and I've also heard that overexposure to UVB can harm them. But I'm also a night owl and very much not a morning person! So currently I have Nara (4 months old) in a viv set to turn on lights/turn off the CHE at 8am, and turn off...

Well, anyway, the doc says he's doing great. Gave him a clean bill of health and said my husbandry was excellent. :D All thanks to beardeddragon.org of course! I RELIED on those guides of yours as I was setting up for Nara's homecoming. I'm convinced this site has made all the difference in...

Ahhh thank you so much AHBD! I'll be sure to reduce it to just a very light sprinkle. My concern currently is that when he's in his tank he typically has stress marks, but whenever I take him outside or for a bath they go away, even though it's much cooler outside the tank than in. He seems...

Day 3 and he seems to be doing well still. Pooping once a day-- you know you're a new parent when you get excited about poop, haha. Loves him some dubia roaches. He's had some time out in the sun and he seems to love that too. Drinks out of his bath water, does all the good stuff. My only...
