Just wanted to give an update! "Dave" is doing fantastic! He has grown so much since we first got him. He is now eating Bok Choy & crickets! The tip of his tail fell off and he's shedding now but he's doing great! He is a completely different dragon!

He's been fine the last few days but he lost the tip of his tail a couple of nights ago. Should we be worried about him? I've been reading through posts and I've determined raw honey is a good disinfectant for the area. It doesn't seem to be bleeding at all. He didn't suffer any trauma. He was...

Hello! Our bearded dragon has been fine the last few days but the tip of his tail fell off last night. He seems pretty tired and doesn't have much of an appetite today. I've posted previously in this forum over the last few weeks while we've been attempting to rehabilitate him. Is this normal...

Thank You!!!

We are in the process of rehabilitating our bearded dragon. The previous owner only fed him mealworms and he was very malnourished. Thankfully we have been able to get him eating again and he seems much better. He loves crickets but will not eat greens because he has never been offered them...

He is loving crickets! No issue with eating those but he's never eaten greens before. He's not interested in anything but crickets. Any advice on how to get him to eat some greens?

Sorry for the late reply! Yes he's definitely gained weight! He's doing awesome now! He's awake most of the time. He's moving around quite a bit and using his legs & arms now. He's been catching crickets on his own. He's pretty funny with quite the personality! I wasn't sure we would see him...

He ate 2 crickets tonight! He's been pooping regularly and he seems much happier and alert! Thank you so much for the all of the helpful suggestions!!

He is loving squash, he is still pretty lethargic but when he is awake he is much more alert. He is basking every once in awhile with his head up in the air (something he couldn't do a few days ago!) He is pooping so we're optimistic he can overcome this! He's starting to get a little bit of a...

He pooped today! Yay! He was also crawling around and ate more squash. He's not using his back legs very much but such an improvement!

I don't think he's having any bowel movements :( He still has some sand impacted but he is way more alert than we've ever seen him since we got him. Is there anything we can do to try to get some bowel movements out of him? When I came home from work he was awake with his eyes open, and then he...

He's been drinking water today as well as baby squash diluted in his water. He seemed to really like the squash! Yay! I came home from work and he seemed somewhat alert! It seems like a little color is returning and his ribs aren't sticking out as much. Fingers Crossed!!!!

I'm not sure how much water he's taking. My husband has just been putting drops of water on his nose and letting him lick it up until he stops. Should we measure the amounts we give and cut him off after a certain amount? We really appreciate the help! We have chickens & ducks so we're still...

We ordered all of the new supplies. He had some water a few times today and seems to be responding but he's still pretty lethargic. We had him out in the sun and he definitely seemed to perk up! We cleaned him up again today to make sure no more sand was impacted (we found sand impacted last...
