I don't think it's urgent, so I'm posting here instead of ER. I got my BD two weeks ago from Tom and tnddragons. We love her to pieces. She's so friendly and alert. She's been doing great. We have the nonadhesive shelf liner, ZooMed Reptisun 5.0(Although I ordered the 10.o two days ago) and...

I just received my new bearded dragon on Wednesday. After the horrific experience with my first one from the pet shop, I actually took yet another great piece of advice off this forum and bought my recent one from tnddragons, or wolfmantom (hope that is right) We're adjusting great, and we...

Just wanted to update... I called the petshop yesterday morning and told her everything going on. I said I talked to a herp vet and they said the bark wasn't safe, and the lights needed to be hotter, not red, etc. I told her how the lil guy wasn't eating anything and how I've given him baths...

Well, he's still not eating anything. I've tried everything I can think of, even hand feeding the baby squash. This is just one unhappy, sick, dragon. So, I called the pet shop today. I told them how they sold me the wrong stuff, and all the adjustments I had to make to the tank. I also...

I lifted him off the log and he opened his eyes and lifted his head. He just grasped onto my finger and then I set him under the basking light for a bit because he feels very cold. I don't know what else I can do now. Ay yi yi. Last time I buy from a pet shop, that's for sure.

He's in the same spot as last night. He won't move, won't eat anything off my finger or his nose. He's just sleeping with his eyes closed. I can see his sides moving with respirations so I know he's alive. He won't move or eat though. Is there anything I can do?

I guess I can try the baby food thing. I actually have baby food from my son. Does it matter what stage it is? After he eats some of the baby food squash, how long do I continue that for? And how often? It's 2am and I'm creeping into the room to check on him again. He hasn't moved, still...

I'll buy that light, it's cheaper then the one I got ripped off on right now! The calcium I have says phosphorus free, so I'm good with that. If only he ate some crickets to get it! This lil bugger is making me worry more than I've ever worried with my own kids! ...and I've only had him 5 days!

That's in the bath earlier.

The lights are off, and he's sleeping, as usual. I have to look very close to see him breathe. We take the crickets out every night. He won't eat anything hand fed, but we've tried. After 45 minutes, the basking side was 102 degrees and the other side was like 77 on bottom. (Now it's night...

I hope this works okay. I'm using my phone because our internet is having an outage now. since posting last, he climbed down the wood structure & is sitting on top of that half log hiding thing. now the lights are off for night. (its 1030pm here & we have lights on 8-8) today I think I noticed 1...

Okay we went to a 100watt light bulb and it's now 100.3 F on top of the wood structure under the bulb. The other side of the setup without the lamp is 80.2 F. Those numbers seem okay, no? We just sat him under the lamp to see if the heat lamp will help him. This is so stressful. We're so...

That's him at the bottom of the wood thing right now. He won't move. He is alive, as we can see him breathing, but he's not moving. There's no plastic on the bulb, and it's lit up. Not sure what exactly you meant though, because I don't remember there being any plastic to remove?

Okay, I switched out the lamp to white. Right now it's 75watts and we're going to monitor the temperature and lower the bulb wattage until we achieve a basking temp of 105-110 degrees. My husband actually built an ugly, yet useful wooden structure. We disinfected the wood first and he can...

I just got a baby bearded dragon 5 days ago. He/She isn't eating barely anything and very sleepy. All day today he hasn't moved. I just gave him a warm bath. He swam around a little bit and seemed pretty normal. Now he's back in his tank and fell asleep in my hand when I carried him there...
