Hi guys - noticed this on my beardie’s tail yesterday and was wondering if it is anything to be concerned about? There seems to be a patch which is slimmer than the surrounding area and also greyish in colour, which made me think it might be a patch of stuck shed. I know this can be a problem in...

Thank you all so much for your concern and help. He is back to normal now! He has been drinking from baths and is eating insects as normal.

Thank you so much - as you say he is not eating, and his eyes are a little sunken in, but he is still running around his tank. We gave him a bath this morning and he had a drink from there. He is still pooping more often than normal (once or even twice a day in very small amounts) which I find a...

Since last night he has regurgitated the locust I thought was too large as well as most of his stomach contents, and also pooped. He is not looking as perky as usual but he is not drooling any more, and he has also refused food

My bearded dragon is currently doing as it says in the title - I am panicking a little so this may not be coherent, but I have checked down his throat and couldn’t see a blockage - however, I didn’t get a good look. I’m very worried one of the locusts I gave him earlier has been too large and...

Recently I moved my tube UVB (mounted on the inside of the enclosure) from the back to the front, but managed to crack one of the plastic brackets which attached it to the ceiling in the process. Our UVB is an Arcadia T5 14% bulb - does anyone know where we might find new plastic brackets? We...

Brilliant, thank you. I will try all these!

He was a rescue so we can't be certain on his age, but he is over 2 years old we believe, so an adult. Glad to know the morios are a good staple - they're quite large but yes he's nowhere near eating 50. I have tried putting both small mealworms and the morios on salad and it has so far not...

He is eating some insects, just not as many as a beardie should be I don't think. He seems to like morioworms best (but mostly only eats them on his basking spot), which I'm aware are harder to digest than other feeders, and very occasionally will eat a small mealworm. Sometimes he's shown...

Parasites seems unlikely, as he's been fully wormed recently - we will give changing the UVB's position a go. Thank you! Once I have done that, if I come back and message on this thread, will it still be see-able by you?

It is a T5 14% Arcadia bulb - the tank has no screen as it is the model the RSPCA recommended, and we followed their instructions and mounted the UVB on the back wall of the tank at the top. The tank is 24 inches tall and the basking decor is 17 inches away from the UVB. He has some broad flat...

The vet has said all our lighting and heating is ok - we have a tube UVB on the side of the basking bulb, which has temps of 95-100, and the cool end has temps of 72-78 F. We are using probe thermometers on both ends and also have a laser thermometer gun which we use to check temps elsewhere in...

I have had my dragon since October, and in that time he has refused to willingly eat any veggies - I have tried all the non-toxic staples, pepper, etc, I have tried bee pollen, insects in the salad - none of it has worked. He is also not eating insects regularly or properly - he doesn't seem...

The basking decor is 18 inches away. Do you think any of this has anything to do with his sleepy ness? I woke him up to give him a bath because I was worried about him being dehydrated, and since then he has not gone back into his hide or slept during the day, but he has also not eaten any salad...

The tank is 24” tall and the bulb is at the very top of it. It is positioned as close as possible to the basking bulb and the hide is on the opposite side to it.
