Thank you for the reply! I’m not sure if you read through the post but it’s been several weeks, not days, and I tried cutting calcium supplements out completely for a little bit to no avail, and he did have a blood test three months ago that indicated all was well with all systems. Do you think...

Hi all, Barbossa is mostly doing well, but his urates have been kind of tinged rusty orange now for the last few weeks. I've read that it could be a) parasites, b) over-supplementation, c) orange food, d) kidney problems, or e) other. I'm not sure where to start! He had a fecal in late April...

Thank you! I've been going by their nutrition page for the most part. He gets daily salad and daily bugs; calcium 4-5x per week and a multi 1-2x per week. He's gained 23% in the first four weeks, he's almost due for another weigh-in. He's been gaining each week, so I'm pleased with his progress...

His UVB is on top of the screen, it's more like 6-8 from his head when he's sticking his head up while basking. From the decor it's about 9-10 inches away! Does that sound okay?

Hi! I've had Barbossa about 5 weeks, and the base of his tail has gradually gotten dark and dull (it seems to be defined along specific scale lines). It's my understanding that areas that need to shed get lighter in color, not darker, so I'm not sure what's going on with this! Should I be...

Hi all! First off, I'm so glad this website exists. The knowledge base contained here is super helpful! My bearded dragon came into my life via a neighborhood "Buy Nothing" group about five weeks ago. His previous owner was moving and couldn't take him with them. They couldn't provide a lot of...
