Hi Tracie, Thanks, looking forward to getting the probiotics soon. He's doing fine today, no change in behaviour really, eating and pooing like a champ. I'll wait until Tuesday until giving him more of the meds and hopefully the probiotics will arrive shortly after. Maybe I'll give him some soy...

Thanks, just ordered the Acidophiliz from Tracie's site. Tracie, I sent you a PM as well because I put in the wrong shipping address by mistake (oops!). Once the probiotics get here I'll follow the meds in the morning probiotics at night routine. Generally how much acidophiliz do you guys give...

Thanks for the quick reply Tracie! So I stupidly followed the vet's instructions before getting the reply and basically gave him 10x the dose and now I feel terrible. Is that going to hurt him or can I go ahead and give the proper dose tomorrow and continue on from there? Also, the vet said he...

Hi guys, Just want to do a quick spot check with everyone on the forum. Took my beardie into the vet last week, did a fecal and he came back with coccidia and pinworms (vet was not able to provide counts). They prescribed him Panacur and Albon but I just want to make sure the dosage they...

Thanks for the replies guys. I don't particularly have a problem with handfeeding him as long as it's not detrimental but it would be A LOT easier if he could hunt for himself. I'm only putting about 2-3 crickets or less in the separate tank with him so he won't be stressed out. He seems more...

Hi all, I posted about this in the health forum a few days ago but haven't gotten a response so figured I should try here. I brought my new baby back last week. He's a rescue and very small right now. The first couple days I brought him back he ate about 20-30 crickets a day in a separate tub...

An update. After he pooed yesterday he is only eating if hand fed. When I put him in a separate, smaller tank to feed him he ignores the crickets completely and only wants to jump out. This morning he ate 10 crickets while hand fed and at night he ate 3 and pooed a bit too. The weird part is...

Thanks for the reply, you were spot on, he's fine! Pooed about half an hour after I posted!

Hi all, I adopted a new baby beardie on Saturday and he's been exhibiting some strange behavior which I'm not sure if I can chalk up to relocation stress. On the first day back he ate 15 crickets dusted with calcium and vitamins. The next morning he at 17 crickets and at night he ate quite a...

I have the exact same problem with my beardie. I was gonna make a thread about it but then I saw this one. He used to be fine with coming out but all of a sudden he is terrified of me. He is the same age as yours I think and recently became an eating machine. I haven't been able to take him out...

Hi everybody, So my beardie I think just recently got over relocation stress. He went from eating about 6 crickets and 5 phoenix worms a day to about 20 crickets and 15 phoenix worms in just under a week. Because of this sudden increase in appetite, I actually ran out of phoenix worms and my...

Hi everyone, I thought I'd share a tip I'm using right now and see what everyone thinks about a cheap reflector for UVB lighting. As you all know, tubes like the Reptisun distribute light all over the place and as that popular uk site that does the comparisons has shown, adding a reflector to...

I just got my first order of Phoenix worms in today and I was super excited about them since I hate crickets and I can't feed them when I go to work in the morning. My beardie also doesn't seem too interested in them. I'm feeding the medium sized ones and when I threw them into the tank he...

Hi all, So my baby beardie is about 6-7" long and right now and I just moved him to a new enclosure on Saturday. He took about a day to get used to it and now he is eating pretty well and pooing well too. He has a basking spot of 105-110 and a reptisun 10.0 over the tank and he was basking...

Yeah mine is lazy too. He will eat the first three or four crickets super quickly and then he just waits until the other crickets walk right in front of his face before eating them. Sometimes he goes for it, misses and then just loses interest. It drives me nuts!
