I'm sorry to hear about Prince as well. I'm not sure if it's the same issue or not. Miss Buddy didn't seem to lose any weight, not that I noticed. I figured something was wrong from the black beard and then her eyes seemed to sink in. She was a chub so I think I would have noticed some weight...

Thank you. It's been really rough. People don't understand how attached to her I was. I know people on this website know but my job doesn't. I wanted to call into work but couldn't. My family basically understand. They called her my kid. I thought about her being eggbound but she didn't show...

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this. It's not urgent since there isn't anything I can do now. I used to be very active on this site but kinda stopped getting on because I had my Miss Buddy for so long I thought I had all of her behaviour habits down. So Miss Buddy started...

I used to use this site ALL the time but I kinda just stopped. I thought I had everything figured out, had all of Buddy's routines and behavior habits down to a tee. But last Friday I noticed she had a very black beard. I thought she was crabby. I noticed her pooping a lot like she was gravid. I...

Was he blowing out air out of his nose? Sometimes Buddy will blow air out and it "clicks".. usually you can see her move her beard when she does it though.

4-6 months does seem early for me but that's also what they said when Miss Buddy laid eggs when she was about 8-9 months old I don't know what advice to give you if she is gravid besides keeping her hydrated and full of calcium. Keep us updated.

Miss Buddy has had 6 clutches of eggs so far throughout her life, she is about 2.5 years old. I suspected her to be gravid again about a month a go. She took a very short brumation and then got the ants-in-the-pants syndrome. She usually doesn't lay eggs until the summer time. She has been...

I don't have an actual answer to your question but my beardie does the same thing when my niece comes in the room. She is only 3 years old so Buddy is probably annoyed by her being loud or trying to touch her. Maybe your beardie had a bad experience with your mom once? Buddy doesn't hate my...

Is this your beardie's first brumation? When Buddy sleeps, it's not a deep sleep either. She is just really lazy and may not move for days but she will wake up time to time. She will be picky on her food as well. Some days she won't eat at all, other it's only superworms, others its only...

Was she gravid after all? Just curiosity..

It's completely normal for them to try to get out. She should be find on the dirt. I bought play sand from Home Depot for less than $5. As long as the soil/dirt/whatever isn't hurting them, staining them, and can form for them to make a tunnel, it should be find. I would make sure there's...

I clip on a lamp, doesn't have to be a heat bulb but just a regular house bulb, they still put off heat. And if you put a blanket or towel over it, just don't leave the house in case of fire. I haven't had it happen but I am always home just in case. I prop the tub lid against the tub and put...

Miss Buddy is picky too. I go crazy trying to get her to lay. Sometimes she doesn't want the heat light on her, sometimes she wants the blanket across the top, or if I enter the room she just stops and tries to get out. This will go on for days! I'm glad she actually laid for you! Just make...

Any update? Did she lay, or dig?

I agree with the above poster. This is typical prego behavior. With Buddy she does the same thing as what you describing, then goes 2-3 days without eating at all and will lay her eggs finally. I got a tub from Walmart, like a storage tub that's pretty deep and bought play sand from Home...
