Yayy! I'm happy to hear that, I hope he's liking his new light!

That's great to hear :D thanks for keeping us updated!

Hmm well she shouldn't be getting mealworms, especially since she's so young, it can cause impaction. You can switch to a softer worm like Phoenix worms :) how many live feeders does she get in a day? I really hope the others come on to help soon! I just wanted to ask those basic questions...

You most get more specific help if you answer these questions :) How old is your dragon? How long have you had your dragon? How long is your dragon? What is the sex of your dragon? What size enclosure do you have your dragon in? What type substrate do you have on the bottom of your tank? Do...

Oh man :( I hate to say this but you really should get a reptisun 10 tube for UVB, reptisun 5 is no good for bearded dragons and she could be hiding to escape from the reptisun 5. I'd recommend getting a reptisun 10 as soon as possible and mount it on the inside of the tank 6-8 inches from her...

Hello, what kind of UVB are you using exactly? (Brand and type) what are the temperatures in the enclosure on the basking, hot and cool side? And what are you using to measure the temperatures? Has she always been like this or is this recent?

Yeah, that happened to me a couple of months ago :( it was actually really sad. Since then, I've switched over to a good quality chow, high in protein and I haven't had any more problems

I found this on the Phoenix worm website in the FAQ section: Q: Some of my Phoenix Worms are turning dark. Are they dead or dying? A: Usually the answer is no. Turning dark is natural as the worm matures so this is seen more often in the large size. Dark worms actually have the highest levels...

Sounds like a plan! Keep us updated :D

Hello, I just wanted to say that your beardie shouldn't be eating mealworms especially if he's young. They aren't very nutritious and may cause impaction! I know you said you rarely feed him mealworms but it'd probably be best just to stick with appropriately sized crickets =]

Hmm.. Well first of all, he should have a reptisun 10.0 TUBE, not coil. The coil UVBs have be known to cause eye problems as well as not provide bearded dragons with the correct UVB. You should get a reptisun 10.0 TUBE as soon as possible! Most stores should carry them. I think most people...

Yes, if you can afford it, then by all means, buy it as soon as possible! I wasn't implying that saving money is more important than your dragon's health at all! Just that if you can't afford the pet store prices, it's better to buy online then not have the correct UVB at all :) sorry for the...

Hello, petmountain.com is a good site to get the reptisun 10.0 tube for a discounted price. I got mine for $20something and I've seen them in pet stores priced at up to $50! Either way, I hope you get your new UVB soon :)

Those pictures are heartbreaking... Poor babies :( Thank goodness you took them in though, they'll finally be able to receive the care they need. Dino's thread is definitely worth checking out.. I actually have some catching up to do myself! Anyway, it's going to be a long, tough battle for...

Hello, what brand and type of UVB light do you have? Is it a tube or coil? Also, what are the temperatures like in his tank? Has he been eating and drinking? It'll be easier for people to help you if you tell us more about your setup.. I hope your beardie feels better soon :(
