I wasn’t able to get a video, but he hasn’t done anything so exaggerated again. The next time he did anything similar it was the submission wave, so I’m guessing it was something similar. Thank you!!

So I’ve been staring at my beardie a lot because he looks like he should do a full body (minus tail) shed any day now and it’s my first to witness... but I put him on the tank floor to eat, he’s been hanging in his hammock on the cool side a lot, unless I’ve soaked him or he ate a lot. So after...

Here is a pic from today. He doesn’t seem very fond of moving around, wants me to give food right to him, and he won’t chase crickets.

So glad to see this thread, I have been curious about some of the shedding details since my beardie is in his first shed since bringing him home. My question is, about how long does it usually take once they begin looking ashy for them to actually shed? He shed his tail earlier this week...

Random, and maybe obvious question, but am I supposed to wash the larvae off before feeding, so they aren't covered in soil? I have been, but was trying to think of how they would eat in the wild and started questioning whether it was necessary. I gave a couple this morning and just put them in...

Oh thank you, that makes sense. His poops have definitely balanced out with liquid, urate, and solid, and he is slowly making his way back to a normal activity level. I see him wandering around his tank more frequently now, but he is still pretty weak and rests a lot after. He has finally eaten...

Thank you for all your advice! I ended up taking him back to the vet for more fluids and another vitamin B injection... also took a fecal sample and his parasites are ALL GONE!!!! Despite drinking water directly from a bowl while soaking 1-3 times a day (depending on if I was off or not), and...

Hello, I have a baby beardie that is currently recovering from intestinal parasites, that caused some pretty serious malnutrition and early signs of MBD. I suspect that he was sick when I bought him, but did not have enough experience to recognize the symptoms. I was attributing his lethargy and...

I will buy reptaboost today and see if that perks him up enough to start eating the larvae without force. He is so small, I am scared to force feed because he seems so fragile and I tend to shake... he is basking, seems to want to stay there and will move to cooler side by pushing with his back...

Hello, is there any new updates on this issue?! My dragon is having similar symptoms, I’ve only had him for 3 1/2 weeks and I’ve had a hard time getting him to eat regularly. I’ve dusted most of the crickets he has eaten, if not all, busy it’s been more difficult to get any to stick to the...
