I took her to the vet last week and... #1-the xray showed no more eggs in her belly #2-the blood test was negative #3-the fecal test was negative #4-the vet gave her fluids because she was dehydrated #5-I have Baytril (antibiotics) I have to give her for 2 weeks. Apparently after all of that...

Im so sorry. I just went through something scary with mine and was preparing myself for the worst. Surprisingly she is fine, but its amazing how we can get so attached to these beardies. They truly are the BEST reptile to get. They are just like dogs. Im so sorry.

First of all, do not feed the beardie fruit. Too much citrus is NOT good for them. Try other greens...mine doesn't like kale too much. He likes collard greens, mustard greens and yellow squash--she LOVES the squash. Second, DO NOT give the beardie meal worms. If they are not chewed...

My beardie is almost 3. Her beard ALWAYS turns black...she does the head bopping and she even does push-ups. I previously worked in a vet office so i keep in touch with the reptile specialist there. He's very good. He said the black beard and head bopping AND push-ups are normal. The black...

If the stomach problems presist (my beardie has trouble sometimes going to the bathroom) there is a med you can give him from the vet. Im not sure what the name is but it is a liquid that comes in a tiny bottle with a syringe. It has either a watermelon or bananna flavor. Mine likes the...

Interesting thought, thanks!

Thanks sunkist....will do!

Thanks for the advice. I will give her more baths :-) and see if that helps. - Jen

Good to hear. Make sure you get heat lamps and UVB lights on top of that cage if you havent done so already. Also, what are you feeding the beardie? Do you know you should not feed it anything bigger than the space between their eyes? Also they need fresh greens every day. Get some kale...

Thanks! I did give her a warm bath last night. She seemed to wake up a little bit but then just went back to being lethargic. Since Monday, I have been dusting her crickets which she has been eating and hand fed her some squash before leaving for work this morning. Also, I NEVER see her...

I guess I JUST found out my beardie is a female. She is almost 3 years old and this past weekend laid 2 eggs. One Friday night (11/7) and one Sat night (11/8). The week of 11/3-11/7 she was staying with my friend while I was on vacation. My friend takes care of Santana quite often and has 2...

My beardie has medication to help him with his bowel movements. I would find a reptile specialist in your area and suggest it. There is a bananna flavor and watermelon. Mine likes the bananna. It's a liquid.
