Hi, all. I parted ways with my bearded dragon this afternoon, and he is now in safe and capable hands. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done, and although I feel heartbroken, I feel lighter and ready to take on the next chapter of my life. Thank you so much for all your support...

Hi, Tracie! I believe he will be caring for him until he finds a good owner who will take him in. That was the situation my beardie was in previously -- I struck up a conversation with the breeder at a reptile show, but my beardie was not actually at the show, I had to inquire about him. I...

Hi, Chris! I do remember coming across your thread and wanting to comment on it, but it's been a bit of a haze this past week. (And also, as this mental health duo would have it, anxiety stopped me from commenting in the moment, and depression made me forget to comment in the long run. They are...

Hi, Brandon, The breeder is a small, local breeder, so I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post his name on here. However, if your wife ever decides she's interested, you're more than welcome to PM me and I can provide you the name of the breeder and where he's located, as well as his contact...

Hi, all, I have some good news -- I just called my beardie's breeder. He understands my situation and is happy to take my beardie back, and he's reassured me that he will rehome him to a good owner. I trust him, as he was the one who rehabilitated my beardie back when his wounds were at their...

Indeed, he is so stinking cute, and I'm sure caring for him and seeing him leap around will help ease the heartache. <3 I'll do my best, thank you so much!

Thank you for bringing that point up! I had a thorough discussion with my family, including my sister who is a reptile keeper herself. I've now seen how my symptoms manifest under stress, and while I had hoped that I might be like others and find busying myself caring for a beardie to be...

Thank you so much for the kind words, they mean so much to me right now. I've been almost nonstop crying for the past few days, but I know I need to prepare myself to do what's best for him, even if just the thought of him leaving me cuts deep. Thank you so much, Brandon. I really am proud of...

Hi, all. It truly pains me to admit this, but I've been recently looking into rehoming my beardie. I have anxiety and depression, and a little over a year ago, I looked into caring for a pet who might help with my mental health. I came across beardies and thought they were perfect, and I know...

Hello! He's continuing to eat (although his salad to insects ratio still varies from day to day) and hasn't really been losing weight as far as I've seen. Here's a photo of his stool in his bath from today (it was a nice, brown well-formed 'log' about the size of my pinky finger, accompanied by...

Thank you so much for the reassurance! :D Now that he's eating again, I've been wondering about the next step: when should I take him back to the vet's to resume treatment? I'm concerned that he'll get stressed and go off feed again, but I also understand that although they're in lower...

Hi, all -- thought I'd post an update as well as some questions I have! My baby is continuing to eat both salad and insects every day, which is great, but I noticed that after a couple days of eating ~14 dubias for dinner, he's now only eating maybe ~3 dubias for dinner every day for the past...

Hello, all! My baby has started to eat his insects again too (he chowed down 14 medium-sized dubias today), and is in general eating a lot more, so he's starting to gain weight again. His poop is starting to normalize too, and he's had good-looking stools with no blood for a couple days now...
