Hey all- I unfortunately lost my baby beardie last night after his health plummeted over 48 hours. I was wondering how to appropriately clean his tank, as I am going to try again, but with a beardie from a better breeder (aka not Petco where I got my first one 6 weeks ago). I just don’t want any...

He’s only in a 10gal right now until I move into my new apartment in a couple months, then I’m bumping it to 40.

Another update: he pooped twice today, the second one not having any substrate, but his legs are still barely working.

How old is Smaug? My baby beardie has zero interest in his salads, but will eat kale sometimes. Could be an age thing!

Yes I’m hoping this new light helps speed this up as we are a week in now. He passed more substrate through today twice. I can’t believe how much he has in his belly. Still on the kale juice concoction for nutrients, but he did eat a few pieces of normal kale today too. I’m sneaking a few drops...

Update, I ordered the Reptisun 14" T5HO Terrarium Hood Light Fixture & 5.0 UV-B Bulb, it should be here tomorrow. He perked up for a bit today. Passed more substrate as well after a belly massage which I was happy about him getting more out of his system. Gave him more water+kale+multivitamin...

Still the same. Is perking up a little bit though. I made him a kale + water + calcium powder + multivitamin powder smoothie to lick off my finger (and he did) just to get something in his system. He hasn't eaten any roaches when I offered it to him the last couple days. I put out some veggies...

Okay I got a sticky side tank heater to help bump the temps for him, as well as the carpet. Gave him a little olive oil. After massaging his belly again he pooped and it was almost all substrate. Wasn’t interested in his roach, but that was before he pooped. I’m glad he passed a good amount, and...

I did buy a kit- after even asking if it was better to just buy things separately lol. Oh well. Yeah, I’d rather spend the $300 on better products for him vs a vet bill after I’ve seen a few horror stories of vet visits in here.

I am using the Zoomed mini desert UVB lighting combo 100W. And no it’s not a long tube, it’s a short stick bulb (not a coil though). Noted on the soft food, I will start that today! Insects are smaller than the space between his eyes. Yes, I dust everything in calcium. And I’ll make sure to keep...

Yeah I plan on upgrading his tank very soon! Interesting you mention the red light, that’s his night hear lamp. Noted on the UVB, I literally just bought it the other day. I am most concerned about his noodle legs, I know they’re so calcium deficient naturally so I want to get him back on track...

Additional info that I thought of: he is still eating (he had two roaches today) so he hasn’t completely lost appetite, and wasnt a big fan of his salads so that hasn’t changed. No head/leg shaking, just has noodle arms/legs. No bearding. Still let’s me hold/handle him and will chill and close...

Hi guys- new beardie owner here, got my guy about 3 weeks ago. Getting straight to the point, my beardie baby is so lethargic and his legs are so weak and I’m freaking out. He seems to be able to move his legs still though, but he can’t hold onto / grab anything (like when I hold him he doesn’t...
