Thanks. I did try this at one point and he lost so much weight I started feeding him supers again to put weight back on him. I can't remember how long I did it for but he just wouldnt touch the dubia. Not even if I hand feed them.
Maybe I will just have to try again. Or cut them open or...
I have read over and over that beardies can get addicted to superworms because of their high fat content. I have also read that they are okay to give as a staple just not a lot. It got to the point I was tired of fighting with him so he gets about 5 supers a day.
The problem is I have been...
Yeah it's definitely not swollen like that. Maybe he has always had mucus I just never noticed. It was mainly the spots on his lips that was bothering me. But now that I know that has nothing to do with mouth rot I feel confident that he is okay.
I have always kept his cage clean. And he...
I have no idea if there was an infection or not. The vet never told me what he said that drew him to the mouth rot conclusion. He was just rambling on about meaningless stuff lol and he left so quick I was like jeez.
But he is pretty chill about stuff. I have been checking his mouth and he...
He eats his bugs but hasn't been eating his greens much unless I hand feed him. He is the laziest dragon you would ever meet. He's always been super lazy since day 1. So that doesn't really surprise me lol.
I have a LOT of pets. And I've had my dragon for over 4 years now and everything is normally good with him. My husband and I are very tight on money right now (new to homeowning and newly weds) but if it gets any worse after using that stuff then I will definitely have to pull some strings...
Yeah it was the crusty parts and the black spots on his lips. I thought the black might indicate early srmtages of mouth rot. And since the vet never told me why HE thought my dragon had mouth rot I am left to form my own conclusions.
Here are 2 pictures. He was actually quite polite about this. But idk what that she'd like stuff is. It's hard. Not like she'd. And then you can see a little of the grey stuff on his lip.
Thanks again guys
