Swelling is nearly completely gone and Pirate is using the peg leg a ton more when walking and climbing - it had been dragging and not moving, but now that the swelling is down, he's using it for leverage in many more situations. Appetite and activity level both continue to increase as well...

Has anyone converted a non-working fridge into a king-sized Dubia breeder (I guess not king-sized if you get a dorm/mini fridge)? I'm thinking about setting up a colony cause I'm going broke feeding our 2 beardies and it seemed to make sense to use an insulated container (old ice chest might...

I haven't scoped a vet yet - I'm going to do that today. The confusing part is that he has two issues going on - the necrosis, which is either gone or considerably less, and an impact injury, which is where I think (hope?) that the swelling is coming from. If anything, the swelling has gone...

Update pics and a surprise Thought I'd post a few more pics to show how well one rear foot was doing and how poorly the other was doing. How the tail is healing - not perfect, but a ton better than when we got Pirate. I think this foot (left rear) is healing as nicely as can be expected...

Tried honey, but couldn't get the bandaid to stick. I just turned Pirate loose and, of course, he decided to spend the night with his back feet soaking in the water dish (does anyone else's beardie spend a ton of time soaking?) and likely washed all the honey off. The leg looked GREAT after...

Whooooaaa, those are some brutal pictures. If honey fixed those, I may have done Pirate a disservice by using neosporin. Honey plus bandaid might work, so I'll give that a shot on the peg leg. Does any type of bandaid/adhesive work better than others? Thanks!

I've been bathing, then putting on neosporin. I'm afraid the honey would make a sticky mess - any way to avoid that? Forgot one other plus - my wife agreed to dedicate a built-in bookshelf to creating a larger habitat. One more item on my to-do list, but I think it will provide a much bigger...

Super stoked about how well Pirate is doing lately - the better of the two rear feet actually started to swell a bit after I made my last post, but in the last couple of days, the swelling has gone down and the skin over the missing toes seems to be taking on a more normal look. His appetite...
