hmm they do look like real worms, I think ill pass! lol -Shilo

Beardies are lazy! My boy is the same way. :lol: In the wild beardies learn to not "waste energy" like they do when their young on their prey, food is usually plentiful and they know it will eventually come to them. I hand feed my boy or just set them in front of him. Sometimes he will chase...

He will probably be fine, just be sure he poops at his normal times so that whatever he ate passes. You could give him a bath also and give him some circular belly rubs to help him pass it in case what he ate could cause impaction. I wouldnt worry too much, they are hardier than we think at...

Tail rot begins from an injury (cut or crushed), if your beardies tail hasnt suffered any injuries there then I am sure its probably shed. -Shilo

We are here to help you, please do not get discouraged. MBD is reversible as long as you begin giving the proper treatment. Just be patient and answer all the questions dear, you will learn and get through this. We were all new at this once after all. :)

Lola is beautiful :) the tail is normal, there will be another shed coming ;)

It's good you use calcium dust, does it have D3? Beardies need extra D3 when kept indoors. Do you use a vitamin supplement once a week also? Please do stop feeding mealworms as Daner suggested, the chitin is too hard for them to break down so they can become easily impacted from it. Pale color...

Esther, He gave him both of those drugs just the one-time, he did not give me any to continue treatment; he said I did not need to. I asked him about a probiotic and he told me that he should be ok without one, he was an exotic vet that studies reptiles immensely so I would hope he is not...

If she has an infection then yes he needs a slightly higher temp but do not raise it unless we know she does for sure. Her temp does need to be at least 100 it is very critical for digestion and health. I would buy a temp gun or a digital probe thermometer to monitor the temp directly under the...

Please remove the walnut bedding right away, it is better for him to go with the bare tank floor than that. He could still ingest the shells when you are not around. I would like to see a photo of this lump? Are you able to do so? Have you considered a vet visit? He needs to see one in regards...

Make sure the UVB bulb you get is the Reptisun 10 or the Arcadia D3 12%. What is the temp in her enclosure right now? Beardies tend to open their mouth to dissipate heat when they are overheated. Temp has to be between 100-110, it may be too hot for her so you might have to take the tape off the...

Hello, Sounds very much like a respiratory infection, those can be caused by very high humidity/moisture and alot of times from Vitamin A deficiency but unsure, does she make pop noises? Runny nose? She needs calcium ASAP! The shaky legs are most likely caused from the lack of calcium which...

Hello, I am terribly sorry on you loss! :cry: A blood test could of really helped but her being in that condition could of made things worse. It is so hard to say considering the symptoms you gave are vague and it could be so many reasons she passed. Is there anything else strange she was...

Hello, The slow pooping is a common issue, especially when the temps outside get cooler. Give him a bath every few days and massage his tummy in circular motions and downwards towards his vent until he poops. It can take him 15-20 min to go in the bath so be patient with him! He can also be a...
