Oh really? That’s what the exotics vet told me that they have vents they can absorb water through? I spray his fruit and veg to make sure he has some water intake anyway

When googling it all it says it that it can’t be cured and it’s only matter of time of being put to sleep, and the vet suggested it too if he can’t recover from it ☹️ He’s on Tramadol, Marbocyl, Fortekor and Allopurinol. Alls they’ve said it’s just build up of fluid that they tried to drain but...

Hiii, He’s been moving round on it and climbing on it, he doesn’t seem bothered by it at all he’s just being his usual self! He’s been at the exotics vets anyway it’s where I’ve been taking him, he has a follow up app next Thursday but I can’t bring my self to get him put to sleep if there’s...

Yes I’m in the UK, they’re the exact bulbs I have at the moment, I got the reflector the bulb is fairly new I got it in February, it’s located only half across the tank so it’s 4ft long tank.. the height it about 21 inches but he has pieces of wood he can climb to get closer, he’s been really...

So my Beardie has been on meds now for few weeks but his gout is getting worse these medicines arent working that the vet has prescribed and I can’t face getting him put to sleep he is not even 1 years old yet. Im thinking of investing in the black cherry extract but I’m wondering what the...

Hey so he has articular gout, so they done x-rays and tried draining his arm but the fluid is super thick so they couldn’t get much out. He’s got meds now I have to give daily and got to reduce his protein and bath him daily to keep him hydrated. Apparently isn’t a quick fix so just gotta persevere

He hasn’t got a hammock it’s just flat against the glass for him to climb, I only changed bulbs 3 weeks ago. I have the 10% bulb already. Booked him with a vet tomorrow just incase, so will post what answers I get tomorrow incase others experience same issues

Hi thank you everyone for responding, I’ll attach pictures of his set up and the bulbs I use, also the calcium powder i use. He has 5 bugs in the morning then 5 a night, sometimes he has cricket or hoppers. I only dust his morning bugs with calci powder. I give him watercress daily because...

Not that I know of he doesn’t have hammocks only wood but it’s not high up enough for him to jump and fall to hurt himself, he had a basking bulb and long tube uvb, he has crickets and hoppers. I’ll attach some more pictures it’s hard to see on pictures but it looks a lot bigger in person. He...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone can help, noticed my beardie’s arm is swollen and he is moving around but doesn’t seem too confident on that leg and has been flicking it? He lets me pick him up and doesn’t seem stressed but it looks huge compared to his other legs? If anyone has any advice that’ll...

Okay will do, does it matter on wattage with the uvb? What basking would you recommend?

Okay fab so invest in a reflector for the tube lights and upgrade the lights, is the basking reflector suitable? Do you think I just keep the basking bulb at the moment and just change the tube light?

Okay I’ll invest in some new bulbs with your recommendation, I’ll attach the photo of the placement of my bulbs at the moment do they need altering? It’s a 4ft long viv so the tube lighting only covers about half the viv.. I got a temperature gun today to get more accurate readings which have...

These are the bulbs I have at the moment, but I’ve had them in since beginning of January, so just a bit concerned if it was the bulbs affecting him would it take 2 months for him to change his behaviour? I’ve used these brands since having him as I thought they was well known brands but for...

He’s up but still looks tired and refusing food☹️X
