My beardie, Yoshi just got done throwing up everything she ate. I had put her in the bath to get some hydration, and she drank...and she drank, and she drank. I have read another post that sometimes if they drink too much water too fast, it can cause them to vomit. After she got done drinking...

Hello everyone, It's been a while since I posted, I had a battle with coccidia that I didn't want to rehash, haha. Anyways, my beardie, Yoshi is about one year old, just got a good report on her coccidia and pinworms about two months ago. After giving her Albon and SMZ and suffering through...

oddly enough-- i think i may have one of very few dragons that actually eat these pellets on a regular basis. in fact, she wakes me up every morning at 7am eating them. I dont soften them or anything, and I also feed her her salad and phoenix worms every day. i tried softening them up once...

...but she's sooooo pretty and bright when shes asleep. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what morph they think she might be. Also, can anyone tell me why they turn so much brighter when they sleep? and how can I get her to be that pretty looking when she's awake? And also, I have...

I just have a quick question: My beardie Yoshi doesn't seem to be shedding her tail. It has been milky for the past about two weeks, and I have given her a bath in warm water at least every other night (sometimes more), and also adding shed-ease to the water in hopes of helping her out. When I...

the ONLY symptoms he has is SLIGHTLY runny poo. I mean, not even like, runny, just kinda wet. he eats, he glass dances, he ALWAYS wants out to explore. Im not so convinced hes really sick. I mean, i definately want to treat him if he is, the meds are only $7, but i dont want to wipe out his...

Ok, so I finally got Yoshi to the vet for a fecal test and it came back with LOTS of coccidia....much like i expected. He did come from a pet store, so I'm not really that surprized, but i really don't know what to do now. I had to jump through a lot of hoops to even get the medicine...

I'm by no means an expert, but I believe that the PowerSun is a MVB and therefore is far too large for a 20 gallon tank. Is he 2 years or 2 months old? Usually a full grown beardie (if he's 2 years old) needs bigger than a 20 gallon tank, I think the usual MINIMUM is a 40 gallon reptile tank...

yeah I totally couldn't believe such a huge amount of...ahem....stuff came out of such small creature. He bearded up at my husband as he was holding him and I was trying to get the oily applesauce down his throat. It was quite comical. Poor guy thinks if he puffs up he's even the least bit...

********************UPDATE*********************** Thank you so much jscott for your reply. The applesauce and mineral oil did the trick. I think the poor dragon lost about half his body weight when he passed that HUGE poo. but he seems SO much happier. His stress marks lightened up and he...

I haven't noticed him trying to poop. I think im definately going to try the oil thing tonight to see what happens. the applesauce was a good idea. I just don't want him to be silently suffering. Ill try that tonight and keep you posted on what happens. Thanks for your help. :-)

Ok. so my beardie Yoshi hasn't pooped in a week and a half. Here's the history behind this: About a month ago, I started noticing that there were still whole phoenix worms in his poop. About a week after this, he pooped, it was semi runny, and there was a live worm in it. I almost rushed him...

Yoshi loves his burrito too. Why wouldn't putting the blanket in the cage be ok? Maybe a fire risk? I have never had any problems, I just make sure to put it as far away from his basking lamp as possible. like you said, dont want to take any chances. But letting them stay in the blanket lets...

Hello everyone! My name is Courtney and I just bought my first bearded dragon, Yoshi. I have done a lot of research, but I feel as though I have just scraped the tip of the iceberg as far as knowing all about beardies. Yoshi is a typical pet store variety bearded dragon, however, I picked him...
