Hey all, sorry it's taken me so long to reply, it's been hectic. Thanks for bearing with me! He is getting powdered calcium, I have also started him on anti-inflammatories per the vets orders just in case. I have not given him any serrapeptase, I've looked and it doesn't seem to be reptile...

Hey everyone, another update and another round of questions. So for a while he was eating these amazing big meals, crickets, dubias, super worms, anything I could give him. Then earlier this week he didn't eat for four days (though still had bowel movements on three of them) He ate 7 worms two...

Hey all, so the bloodwork came back from the vet and I learned a few things. First off, she said his calcium read normal, do these things not always show accurately in bloodwork? She also mentioned his liver seems to be a bit larger in average, but with normal enzyme activity. Lastly she...

I didn't mean literal pounds hehe. He's just supposed to be a "German Giant" and I feel that his reduced appetite may have stunted that growth a little. I'm just happy his appetite is coming back to him and he's back on the right track. Yes, he's had his 10.0 T5HO with reflective hood for...

!!!!!!!!! I had no clue young beardies required so much supplementation in their diet! Once a week is what we always did with my ex-gf's beardie (who as of last week is also mine as she had to move back to Brazil where it seems they aren't legal to own) and I can say that she is healthy, happy...

I'd honestly be happy if he just stayed how he is. He's in good spirits, very alert, and is still mobile, any improvement is just icing on the cake versus what I was expecting to see with a debilitating progressive neurological condition. I understand that it could take months to get healthy...

Noted on the under the tank. I actually did get the T5HO and the hood does have a reflector, so it sounds like at least now I'm in good shape as far as lightning. I'll span it all the way across the mesh top to get full coverage. I'll bump up his calcium intake and will be purchasing him the...

His basking temp is good, I've had the UVB spanning diagonally like that for a few days rather than straight across where it would cover more, as I read somewhere that mesh tops can actually reduce a lot of the UVB received. Better to put the top on and have it cover more of the enclosure? I...

Thank you so much for the reply. I purchased him at 3 months old nine months ago and with it a reptisun 5.0 UVB 22". I recently learned that while the box may say 12 months, it's really only good for six. So i could suppose he was without good UVB for 3 months. His appetite suffered and I...
