So i think my beardie has parasites and i'm taking him to the vets on wednesday, but i need a fecal sample and he wont do a poop in his tank only in the bath, would i still be able to use the feces from the bath for the sample or will it effect the test ?

My bearded dragon started sleeping throughout the day over a week ago and he wont eat any of his greens but about 4 days ago he ate 3 locust and did a healthy poo ever since then he's been sleeping more and refuses all food. He stays under his hide in the cool area and sleeps all day i offer...

No its perfectly fine, it would only have been a worry if the bug had got into contact with insecticides but by the sounds of it your dragon is good. Just watch out for any unusual signs such as lethargy, loss of appetite or inability to poop, as you should never feed your BD anything from the wild.

Sounds to me like your doing everything right. Shedding in patches is completely normal my beardies tale goes grey before anything else but every BD is different. Just make sure your feeding him how ever much he will eat within 10-15 minutes twice a day. Your not overfeeding him at all, you may...

Yes he's below 12 months.I'll see what he's like tomorrow. Thanks.

No i never give him lettuce asi know its no good for them he does have mealworms but his main insects are locust. Why wont he eat them ? The temps are fine its 105 at the hot end and at the cool it is 75.

My beardie hasnt ate for two days now i always leave him a fresh bowl of salad and he hasnt touched that he also hasnt ate any insects which is my main worry because he is still growing.He looks hungry because he licks his tank. His beard is also black which is unusual because it is never...

Thanks, glad to know its not anything bad then.I was just wondering as it hasn't been this bright before and i thought it could be the start of yellow fungus.

I am quite worried about my little guy as i noticed he has got yellow patches on his head and neck. I was wondering if it was yellow fungus ? He is acting normal, very hyper as always, but I'm not too sure what this could be. Any opinions would be great.Thanks

I feed my bearded dragon Locust and when i first bought them i asked the store 'do i need to gut load them' she replied 'no just keep them in this box and feed your dragon 9 insects twice a day' i thought this was odd as i have read that insects you feed your beardie should be gut loaded i also...

For the veggies I have tried cabbage, broccoli, bell pepper, carrot, romaine lettuce i also put a little water at the bottom for hydration. I do actually have dandelion in my garden which isn't sprayed so i will try that and i will try some squash. Lets see if i can tempt him some more :D I've...

I am glad to know his skin is just a normal shed :D I will be changing the uvb and thermometers then and i hope he perks up abit. But when i bought him the shop said only 16 to 18 locust a day, i have to admit on the sites i have looked at they said 50-100 but they where for crickets. Thats why...

I had my bearded dragon 1 month ago and he seemed fine but then about 4 days ago he developed a grey soft patch of skin on his back. He hasn't ate any vegetables since i got him and he doesn't drink so i tried misting him but he still takes no notice. He also didn't poop for about 5 days until...
