Hello again! I went to a reptile specialist to have them check him out. He doesn’t have any bone issues or appetite problems so they said it’s probably not MBD. Wilmo is just under 2 years old now, and is about 12 inches long now even though his growth was stunted. I adopted him in the...

Oh jeez I didn’t know that!! I feel so bad! I’ll pick one up soon. I am certain it’s adv rather than mbd as he’s had issues walking since he was young and the vet told me it’s not mbd. He also is very active, although his back legs don’t work properly, but he still darts across his terrarium and...

Hello! I just woke up and realized my bearded dragon’s UVB bulb has been off, and likely for a week or so. It’s in a double dome lamp so I didn’t realize it has been off, and don’t know when it was turned off. I feel extremely bad and don’t want him to get MDB as he already has issues with...

Hello! the bandaid stayed on well, which i have replaced since. When i replaced it it seemed to be starting to scab!! I replaced the bandaid and put on a new one with just some betadine on the pad of it, in an attempt to keep the wound bacteria free. I unfortunately do not have raw honey right...

Hello! So I had posted before about an issue where my beardie is getting under his repticarpet when I get home from work, and I think I’ve narrowed it down to him wall running until he gets stuck. He’s currently in a 29-gallon “long” tank, and is now probably about 10 inches to a foot long...

I’ve heard of this! Is there a specific texture that is used or is it just anything with texture? Thanks!

Hello! For the past few days I’ve found my beardie somehow gets under his repticarpet. He usually looks like he’s trying to sleep, and I’m not sure how to prevent it. It may be because he climbs up on the glass when I’m gone maybe? He has adenovirus so he may be accidentally pushing himself...

I’m away from right now but the bandage stayed on well. He can’t really remove it as it is right between his shoulders and he has limited movement. He certainly doesn’t like having it on, but before he was running around and freaking out because when he walked his claws would go into the cut and...

Update. His beard is very black now and he’s acting stressed. Could this be due to the bandaids being on him? Could they be hurting him or is it just stressful?

Okay so he was making it worse to the point where I needed to do something. I ended up saving the cut with betadine solution and putting bandaids is an X pattern over the wound to prevent him from making it worse. He seems to have calmed down immediately! :) So now I’m wondering if I should...

Hello! This is a follow up about a wound my bearded dragon had done to himself a while back. He has adenovirus, and his limited movement in his front legs caused him to scratch a cut into his chest area. It looks better after several betadine treatments and a successful shed, but it’s now open...

His appetite hasn’t changed at all! He still chases crickets down and it doesn’t seem to change his behavior. I gave him a bath and put some betadine in at the end, and also cleaned his tank and put down to paper towel to keep it clean as possible as recommended. I also trimmed his nail. I’ll...

Wilmo is around a year and a half old! The petco I adopted him from wasn’t quite sure about his age. I had brought him to the vet and they said he should have several years left before adeno takes it’s course. The function of his limbs is about the same, he’s just grown to the point where...

Hello! My beardie Wilmo unfortunately has adenovirus :( In the past he has managed well with basking spots, climbing up them anyway he can! He even used to jump from them every once in a while. Wilmo has grown though, and now has been having more trouble climbing up a steeper basking rock I...
