Perfect. Thank you!

I have a healthy 3.5 year old bearded dragon. He has been eating dubia roaches as a staple the whole time. I usually dust with repashy calcium plus with every feeding. My wife is sick of having a dubia colony in our garage so I want to switch to BSFL as a staple. From what I have read I...

My beardie is about 14 months old or so and is a very picky eater. For most his life I have been feeding him dubia roaches dusted with Repashy calcium plus all in one every day. But as of late all he will eat are black solder fly larvae. Should I still be giving him vitamins or calcium? He's not...

Ya that seemed like a long time to me too. Plus my beardie hates the stuff, so i feel like i'm stressing him out from sticking the syringe down his throat to give him the med. I went out and bought a vanilla flavored soy non-dairy yogurt earlier today and gave him about .75ml. (why do you...

Thank-you! I will check it out. He has been taking the meds every day since 3/6. And they said to keep giving to him every day until bottle runs out which looks like probably another 2 weeks.

So I brought my bearded dragon to a vet that claims to be a reptile vet on 3/6/18 because my bearded dragon had a loss of appetite for months and wanted a fecal done for peace of mind. The results are as follows: "Direct= soft formed sample, decreased flora, spirochetes 3+, coccidia 4+, 2+...

Great! Thank you for all the replies!

Im sure this is answered a bunch here on these threads but I cant seem to find it. I have a 24" reptisun t5 10.0 in a reflector. It sits about 13" above my beardies basking rock. Today I decided to cut the screen out under T5 to allow more UVB. Now i'm worried this might be too much UVB. I have...

I have a exo-terra 36 wide x24 tall x 18 deep tank. Currently with a 90 Watt PAR38 flood light for basking and reptisun t5 10.0 24" for uvb. His cool side of the tank seems pretty dark and I wanted to add some ambient light. Current temps stay around 75-78 degress in cool side. I want a bulb...

He seems to be getting better! He did eat a few dubias and seems to be a little more active. I have been trying to find a good bulb with 5000k for his cool side. I did find a 7w phillips LED 5000k. I havent heard many people using LED. Any thing I should be worried about. His cage looks great...

Great info. Thanks. Is there any benefit of a halogen flood bulb vs a regular household bulb vs led bulb ( Ive seen one that was 7 watts with 5000 kelvin which I heard is good)? FYI Just got my scale in the mail. My male beardie is 450grams which as far as I can tell is a healthy weight.

Thank you for all the responses I really appreciate it!! I will definitely not add a che during nighttime. I did end up putting another dome light with a household bulb on the cool side of enclosure to bring up temps a little bit during day because that side stayed a little dark and in the low...

Thanks again the the responses. I went to my local reptile breeder and he suggested that my beardie's lack of appatite is due to cold night temps. He suggested I get a ceramic heat emitter for night time to raise the temps up to 75-80 deg. Currently my house is usually around 70 deg at night...

Thanks for the responses. I do feel a better!! Drache- My bulb I bought brand new on amazon July 2017 so its about 7 months old. It should be good for about a year? Ellen- I just bought a scale on amazon today so I can start weighing him. Visually he doesn't look to have lost weight. I just...

This is my first bearded dragon, is just about 10 months old and since early December he has no interest in eating anything. I got him when he was 3 months old and normally he would eat about 20 dubia roaches every day and a little bit of salad. But for the past 10 weeks whenever i feed him he...
