I am super impressed with your care of these poor animals. My bearded dragon was similarly given to a pet store after inappropriate care. It has been a great challenge trying to build trust with her while also taking care of her ailments. Way to go making these guys happy and healthy. They look...
Hey everyone. So I just adopted my bearded dragon two months ago. She has recently been relocated to my apartment in Minnesota. She spent the first day here hiding, as I figured she would due to the stress of the move. For about a week after the first day she was doing great. But over the past...
Thank you so much for your help!
I have not noticed twitching over the past week or so. She has been much more active and seems a lot happier. I think she is finally recovering from the parasites and the D3 every other day has helped a lot. I appreciate it!
She had the underbite before I adopted her. I'm not sure what conditions she lived in before I got her. I imagine not great because she had been treated for mouth rot and she had coccidia and pin worms when I got her. I'm not sure what bulb they used either.
She had the compact bulb for about a...
I know that this may seem to be an odd question, but I have noticed my bearded dragon being a bit more lethargic lately. She just went to the vet and underwent parasite treatment. I've noticed her spending more time in her hide and laying down. After her parasite treatment she seemed to be a lot...
This is very helpful thank you. I read online that I could boil decor pieces that the poop might have come in contact with. I'm not sure if that is actually helpful advice? She has pooped in her food bowl twice, each time I disinfected and boiled the bowl. Should I look into replacing it?
Okay thank you. I bought the zoo med cleaner a while ago and have been using that. I have a coil, still waiting on my long tube fixture to arrive, but she has a log under the coil that she will often spend time on. Her basking temperatures are around 105 degrees. I am taking them with a...
My bearded dragon, Franklin, was taken to the vet with concerns of mouth rot. She was cleared for mouth rot and instead suggested to have early signs metabolic bone disease from her previous owners which caused a slight underbite.
She has a lot of saliva buildup on the sides of her mouth. I...
Update on Franklin!
I took her to the vet today and got some good news and bad news. The good news is she does not appear to have a mouth infection. She is generally healthy and at 130g!
The bad news is, she has a bit of jaw malformation, the vet thinks it might be the result of metabolic bone...
Good to know! Thank you. I ordered her a new UVB light this week, I've been waiting for it to come in. The one she has actually has pretty good range, but I figured if I plan on having her long term I should get a strip. So already in the works. On top of keeping her cage clean and proper...
Hello!
I adopted a bearded dragon a few weeks ago. She was given to PetSmart because the previous owner was unable to take care of her. They had her in the back room in a 20 gallon tank next to a cage of birds. When she was given to them, she had a case of mouth rot. She went through two rounds...
