he pooped!!!! it was a really weird poop. almost all off white with a little bit of urate. if he is blocked, he sure laid out a big poop to be blocked. i have it in the fridge in a air tight container. figuring out about the fecal/vet mess now.

kay. we have ALWAYS given baths to help them poo, but i think we got lazy or something. i gave him a bath yesterday but i will do a few today and either just give the reptaid with applesauce or mix in some olive oil w the baby food. it's been about a week that i remember seeing a real poo...

What is PKC? well for now i am going to continue with the reptaid and baby food, but maybe cut down the amount of baby food to like 15-20cc's. does anyone think a probiotic would do any good? http://www.jarrow.com/product/228/Jarro_Dophilus_EPS i have capsules of this at home, i could break...

we have always used a calcium supplement, dusted on greens and when he used to accept crickets. i think he didnt like when i dusted the crickets and eventually stopped eating crickets... we used to feed mealworms, last time he had any has been a month or at least two or three weeks. it was the...

Our littlest dragon, cosmos, is sick.. He doesnt eat much but his belly is huge. I am very worried. We do not have money for a vet, but i may ask my mom for help, she is really broke though, so it is an absolute last resort. it will be a week or so before we might have enough money to take...

He finally ate one waxworm, but we rarely buy those. Crickets and Dubias are our usual feeders. his whole tail has shed and it looks like he will shed his body soon. Will continue with regular baths.

If you have been keeping your dragon hydrated and still looks skinny try giving a TREAT of waxworms! While not a staple, these fat little worms will help fatten up your babe, just DO NOT FEED ALL THE TIME because they do not have a lot of nutrients, just helps keep their bones from poking...

With the red rover grant you have to have a specific diagnosis from a vet that says that without care your pet will be terminal. It also says if you have financial hardship that is a plus to getting the grant. they do it on a case by case basis and can give grants from $100-300. If I were...

orange county reptile rescue's website with a list of herp vets in your area.

I don't know where you are located, but it's very possible you may be able to get a grant to take care of the issue. Can you afford the first vet visit? Because Red Rover Relief Grants can spot you b/t $100-300 if you qualify for the grant. there are also fundraising tips on the website in case...

I mean I would consider that (food-competition) as a possibility, but this little guy is normally the shark of the tank and he chases and chomps whatever he wants usually. So it makes sense to me that this might be a shedding thing. We will be sure to get right on the hip bones and make sure he...

We give them time apart and often will feed them separately or take the other out of the tank. There is very little territorial-ness going on in the tank. It makes a lot of sense that a little dragon growing 1/2 inch a week would need some extra fats on him. We don't just throw the...

as i said in my first post, our staple feeders are gutloaded crickets and gutloaded dubia roaches. recently shed (white) mealworms are a treat, or dinner spoiler so we dont feed those very often. We are only thinking about getting a small batch of wax worms to fatten up the kid so we cant...

Should we go get some wax worms to fatten them up a little bit? are they safe for baby dragons?

i guess my boyfriend is really worried because he feels like he hasnt been eating too much in the last two days. Is this normal right before a shed? He wouldnt even accept a mealworm, which is like his fave. (we only give him white mealworms that have just shed and have a soft exoskeleton)...
