    BRUMATION

    Hello! Just wondering when does your beardie go into brumation? I've had my beardie for 2 years now, and the first time he went into brumation, he was under a year old, and it was in the early spring. This year, he seems to be going into it now, which I think is strange, because since we're...

    Tracy- Sorry, I miscalculated the dosage, it is 0.15cc. He is still not eating much, add to that stress, my husband is convinced I am starving him to death!

    Tracie The amount is 1.5cc. Good to know that meds slow their eating down, I was beginning to get worried. He still hasn't gone to the bathroom in a couple of days, maybe 7? Thinking of putting him in the bath again. I've been advised to never use sand as a substrate, no matter what the...

    He is doing okay. He hasn't gone to the bathroom much in the last few days. I'm giving him baby food: applesauce, and sweet potatoes. He seems to still like his crickets, but he's down to probably 1/2 of what he was eating. The vet told me to give him 3 doses of the anti-wormer 1x a day (1 a day...

    Thanks so much for the advice, I think he was getting the sand in his water, and drinking it. That is all on carpet now. He seems to be much more alert. Also, how do I measure the temp for the basking light? How often should I change the bulb?

    Ever heard of this substrate?

    This substrate is called Granite Gulch and it is by T-Rex. Has anyone ever heard of it, or used it? I just traded my old stuff out for this as my dragon became impacted, but I'm still worried because it is a sand-type substrate. I actually only have it in half the cage, the other half is reptile...

    Hmm had quite a bit of activity in the beginning of this post, but no response to my last few posts. ? Update :) I gave Ozzie another bath today and massaged his stomach, and he finally pooped! I never thought I'd be so excited about poop in my life! I immediately took the sample to the vet...

    Here is the update on Ozzie- Took him to the vet, (she specializes in exotic animals) She wants me to feed him Metamucil, she thinks he may be impacted. #1- Has anyone done this, and if so... how in the world do you get them to open their mouths??!!??. She also wants me to give him medicine for...

    Worried About My Beardie

    Andie I gave my beardy, Ozzy (Aussie) a bath today for about 15-20 mins, then had him outside in the sun for a while. He was "gaping" so we brought him back in. We even massaged his stomach for a while. So he never poo'd, and now he has been sleeping all day under his log. I'm praying that this...

    corretion, I trade out the basking light for the black light, because I'm afraid it's too cold in there for him.
