Thank you for your quick reply. I would be using a combined heat/uv lamp 100watt. I don't think he can squeeze through the bars (especially with his big belly!) I can see if it could be placed in a corner which would mean its enclosed on two sides by the walls. I could possibly cover it with a...

Hi, I have to go away for a week on the 11th May. My brother has said he can look after my Beardie for the week , but since he last looked after him, Freckles has got a new house - his viv has a cabinet attached so whereas in previous years my brother has taken the viv this year he can't. SO, as...

Well, out of that list of symptoms given by coastergirl946 (thank you for them btw), he can probably tick most if not all of them except the throwing up one. Just before this happened I offered him a locust but without warning he lunged forward and ate 3 in one mouthful!!! Would locusts cause...

the reason Im asking is I've got a horrible feeling this might be whats wrong with Freckles...we've just finished a course of wormers and conver-s, and he still isn't better. The vet said if he wasn't better after 7 days (tomorrow) to take him back and he'll give him a course of antibiotics...

Please can someone list for me the signs & symptons of Impaction.... I'm not after 'links' I want to hear 'real life' symptons that people on here have experienced, I have googled it, and read some articles but need a bit more clarification which I feel would be better coming form someone who...

:shock: Do you want the good or the bad news??? Freckles was back to normal over the weekend in every way and I was happy with him and my desision not to take him to the vets BUT.... I came home today and when I first walked into the front room I looked over at Freckles and at first thought...

Just checked uv tube and it is a zoo-med reptisun 10 (phew!)

:lol: :lol: ok now I'm confused!!! Do you mean the exo terra's rubbish? I'm not 100% sure what mine is off hand - I'll have to remove it when I turn the lights off and have a look - I did keep the box for it but it looks like the OH has chucked it out! :shock: As for Freckles...well, he's...

Ok, I've got home and checked him. My OH doesn't think there's anything wrong with him but openly admits that he doesn't know the first thing about them! LOL! Me personally, I'm not happy....I still don't think he's walking right - can't make out if its an injury, impaction or something else -...

Thankyou for your replies. I have got an appointment booked for tomorrow morning (first available I could get). I rang home not long ago and my husband said that he thinks he's 'normal' (Freckles not my hubby!), but I will check myself when I get home later... if in doubt I will certainly take...

Last night I noticed my beardie (Freckles) wasn't moving right, he was carrying himself very low to the floor and was unusually quiet. Prior to this he had been 'running' around (I've mentioned it before where if you're in the room he will run around the viv, climb the walls, run along the...

Thanks for your reply, I did wonder that. Also just watched the two video's on head bobbing & waving, and what he does is mimicking this only against the glass? Could it be that? I know that my torts are a lot 'friskier' when they wake from hibernation and tend to show dominance....

Hi, me again (well you lot are so helpful!!!! :notworthy: ) Freckles has woken from his brumnation, full of beans. He is a lot friendlier before - he will sit on me for quite a while now!! He's still being picky with his food (he's a man!), and when offeed locusts will eat 1! (Before he'd eat...

Hi, Freckles woke from brumnation at beginning of week but as of yet he still hasn't eaten, I've tried greens and livefood - he doesn't show any interest...is this normal??? I've given him regular baths which he's loving at the moment (he hated them before the big sleep :shock: ) and have seen...
