    Rectal Prolapse? :/

    I know it is a different situation, I just thought the photo would help you assess whether it was the rectum or the hemi-penis that had temporarily prolapsed. :) Either way you have it sorted now. Best wishes, CV x

    HELP! What's wrong with Perseus!?

    Lots of human antibiotics should be eaten with food, so I dont think it would cause a problem, unless the info strictly states "take before food" or "take on an empty stomach"....

    RIP Dexter :-( (29/09/12)

    I guess this post will explain why I have been absent for so long.... I have copied and pasted this from my forum. It has taken me until now to pluck up the courage to come and tell you all. :(

    I don't want to starve my baby but...

    Yes Spencer, you are right. Its the wax worms that should only be a treat and the others are great staples. Mealies are absolute no-no's for babies because of the risk of impaction. (high chitin content) As for the original topic, one should never starve a bearded dragon adult, never mind a...

    REALLY worried about Dexter... :-(

    He was guesstimated at 3 years old but he's not even half the size of the older beardies they are selling at my local pet store... I just phoned the store and the beardies that I'm talking about, one is 12 months old and the others are round about 2 years old... surely if he's half their size...

    REALLY worried about Dexter... :-(

    Come on guys, any input? Forgot to add that my stairlift is being fitted next week so I will be regularly up stairs letting him out to exercise and just spending time with him again... It sounds like I've neglected him, I haven't ,I still go and give him water throughout the day and Simon...

    REALLY worried about Dexter... :-(

    Dexter has been acting weird over the last few days, with racing around his viv with a dark black beard, BITING ME! (*sob*) and puffing his beard out. Generally looking AND acting severely piffed off. The ONLY thing that has changed recently is that I have moved from being in my bedroom 24/7...

    Background picture for Tanks

    I don't think ANY sites allow free printing. The National Geographic application on android has some really nice images that maybe you could save to your android device and print. Apple probably have a Nat geo app too. I got my background from eBay it Wesson only about £6.50 including...

    Dexter's viv...

    As you all know, Dexter is currently living in a 3ft x 2ft x 2ft viv... WHEN the council finally come and fit my starlift, I will be spending a lot of time downstairs, instead of living in my bedroom 24/7.... Simon has suggested that I will probably want Dexter downstairs, where I can see...

    A change for Dexter....

    After reading Gail's rather derogatory comment about "spoiling and hand-feeding fat stuffed dragons"... I felt very upset and guilty as Dexter had developed a VERY lazy attitude towards eating his bugs. If it wasn't within immediate reach, he would literally look up at me and sit there waiting...

    Got my blue tongues

    Do you have a recent pic of Buzzy? Was trying to find one, but can't. I knew he was a Merauke the minute I looked at his first pic this evening, but I aw you already got your ID. (he looks just like Simon's "Bad Bob". (He's not bad, his name is to go with Rex, (Yemen Chameleon) Vince (Tokay...
