😔

Your poor baby sounds like mine 😟 I guess almost a puree? Should I add worms in it? I'm going to see how she does with crickets. I can give her mealworms with tongs but she fights it. But she does chew ok. However, the sides of her mouth look a little swollen later and I don't have the heart...

Yes, please do. It's kind that you helped but she still doesn't understand how to care for a beardie. 😔

PLEASE report this to an animal cruelty, vet or police department. Animal cruelty is against the law. This is unacceptable and the poor baby needs to be removed from that class because the teacher obviously has no clue on beardies. I can't believe it's still living. I can report it for you if...

My baby, Smaug, is blind, but I think she sees shadows. Maybe even blurry vision. Anyway she misses her food because of perception I suppose. Then after a bite or two she's frustrated and gives up. I may have to syring feed her but my blenders cannot get the consistency right. Ideas? She does...

This made me cry, like right now. My baby has my heart. I don't know how I'm going to react when she dies. I think you made the right decision. Quality of life is better than longevity, or quantity of life. Bless your heart.

When I first started to care for Smaug she didn't poop for 12 days! Probably why she wouldn't eat. When she did some horrible thick spiky thing came out! I sent it to an Australian guy who raises beardies and he said it was sphagnum. It was in her last owners tank. I'll never put that stuff in...

I think it varies. It can last weeks to months I believe. Honestly, I did so much online reading and research- that's how I absorbed all my 'knowledge." I'd google any questions I had an get answers. I found it to be a great way to learn! I've discovered that each beardie parent has different...

I am thrilled to announce that Smaug is much better! Her vision/depth perception is the only remaining problem, and that's not likely to improve much. She's eating, drinking water, playing in the water, and giving me stink-eye once in a while 😆 The power of prayer works! Thank you all for...

I'm not sure but I think this is fairly normal?

At present she doesn't have a respiratory infection; not for a while. I only give her the Vit D3 once a week. I can't remember the name of the Calcium, so don't quote me, but maybe Flukers? She's still not able to grab her food, aim is off and vision very impaired, and she gives up. I'm going to...

She has her head up a bit more. Brumation and small patches of shedding on going. Temp and humidity are still WNLs. She may be a tad better
