When I first got my very ill rescue dragon, he saw 2 vets in NY who sucked, failed to notice life-threatening problems, and didn't give info that I learned later and could have helped. They both claimed to be qualified with exotics, but I think were much more experienced with mammals and birds...

I thought of one more question. We usually clean our floor with commercial cleaners like Fabuloso. I don't let him free roam a ton, but would like him to be able to roam supervised for a while. How can I get the floor reptile-safe? Essentially, how can I clean the cleaner off?

I posted a couple months ago about a super sick rescue/ first beardie that ended up in rehab foster care. He's doing really well now and is ready to come home soon :) Just have a few q's. 1) Has anyone used ramekins as food/water/bug bowls for adult BDs? anyone with a preferred type of bowl...

I actually have some pretty good news. I ended up taking Dave to foster care in MA with a very experienced rescuer (who I believe is on these forums too) to get a more intensive level of care. And with her expert husbandry he is doing amazingly well with her, eating and drinking on his own...

Hi all, I posted a while back about a very sick/ neglected bearded dragon that I was trying to rehab. He had both mites and pinworms. The good news is David is in foster care with someone who has a ton more reptile experience than I do and perfect husbandry and he is doing very well, she...

OH! No, they were hiding out on his lids in the socket. Sorry, I was unclear. That would be such horror

Thank you so much to everyone who is responding. Support from beardie rescuers and beardie lovers is what's keeping me going through this crazy process. Long story short, the husbandry of the previous owners was atrocious, and his parasites come as no surprise. We got the buggers out of his...

Hi all, I originally posted about David here: https://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=223029 TL;DR Very sick emaciated dragon that I'm attempting to rescue. Vet #1 gave him Panacur for pinworms. Well after 2 days of panacur, the poor thing was not eating or drinking...

Sadly, David has been on panacur for 2 days and hasn't accepted anything more than a couple sips of water. He is very lethargic and turning dark all the time. I think tomorrow if he won't take a bug, I'm going to have to force feed him some babyfood mixed with pedialyte and calcium powder. If...

Yeah, he only had stacked rocks for a day while I figured out the elevation he would need to get to that 95 degree range... Now he has tile and "stairs" up to his rocks, which aren't stacked. For some reason they are not getting as warm as the wooden half dome I got him from Petland... I did...

Hi everyone, My name is Mal and my reptile friend is David. I've been talking to the people over on /r/BeardedDragons, but figured I'd make a post here since there seems to be more discussion of rescue and rehab. I got Dave from CL about 10 days ago, the previous owners had him in a fairly...
