Thanks!

Wish I would have noticed this sooner. Chomper is in a fairly large enclosure and doesn't enjoy being handled, so I just noticed yesterday when he was eating that he has a brownish patch under his chin. Thought maybe it was just food at first , but on closer inspection, it looks like mites to...

THIS

I would say no fogger. They are made for tropical species. It would make a bearded dragon enclosure way too humid.

I use a very firm touch and spread in all directions, starting with a good sized glob.

Awesome! :)

Bonnie, relocation stress can make them not quite themselves for a week or two. Once he gets used to his new home and people he may be more friendly.

Maybe part of the problem is being too cold? His (EDIT) basking area needs to be about 105-110 degrees during the day. The cool side around 80 degrees.

Whew! Hopefully his schedule returns to normal now.

Thank you! I still need to get him basking so we don't have this problem again. I'm going to try to make his basking area a little more cozy for him and take away/move his hide from the cool end. Hopefully that does the trick.

name of dragon: Chomper sex of dragon Male(I think) age of dragon About 10 months food preferences Most greens w/dandelion leaves at #1, mixed veggies, crickets & phoenix worms

Will he swim in his bath? Chomper finally went, but it took a loooong belly massage, oil, and then the poop came as soon as he freaked out in the bath and started swimming really fast.

We did the oil & belly massage yesterday and it took a little bit(15-20 minutes), but what got him going was he freaked out a little and started swimming really fast! Instant poop! I was so relieved. Yes, he has been hiding a lot lately and not basking. I'll rearrange today and see if that...

Any luck yet?
