oh is really sounds like MBD I hope he gets him better, tell him the more sun the better and get a good UVB like a mega ray. they will help the little one get better.
Good deal!!! that is great for your Charlie!!! I am sure your mom does not want him to be sick and not grow to his potential!!! Keep up the good work!! Do you have a UVB light??? If you got info from the pet store just want to make sure, is very important. But if you have to save then the fact...
hehe yeah watch out for the yelling moms! I have three boys and I am a yelling mom at times. Of course my two beardies are mine not anyone else the the family. I am the only one that loves reptiles here. Yes if you can get some crix for Charlie. Do you know how old he is? Can you measure him...
You can purchase them on line also if your mom will let you. You can get 500 for a good price. Use a sterilite container you can get at walmart and put holes in the top and feed them the same veggies you do your beardie. When they get older (over six mos or 16") you can get super worms (not king...
depending on the age, your guy should be eating a lot more then that. I have just started feeding mine once a day and they are almost 1 yr. Until they were 6 mos I feed three times a day live food as much as they will eat in 15 min (crix). Then twice a day same 15 min. Pet store are notorious...
It sounds pretty good so far except the amount of crix and the sand. I would take that out till he get to be older then use washed sifted play sand you can get at lowes or wally world. You should feed a baby as many crix as they will eat in 15 min three times a day. As for him only eating salad...
How old is he? I have my adult on play sand, but he does not eat on the sand. You could try giving him a warm bath and rubbing his tummy. That will help him go poo. There is differing opinions on whether to have a water bowl in the viv or not. I do not I either syringe water mine and give them...
Did they cut the wood for you? What kind of wood did you get? I just dont have anywhere to do it. I live in an apt on the second floor and have a tiny porch :cry:
Pet stores are notorious for misleading customers to make a sell. Yes the walnut shells are worse then calci-sand! for a little one none particle substrate is the safest. If you want some kind of sand later on wash sifted play sand (also walmart or lowes) sifted again for any chunks when they...
Oh and the slimeline lights suck, I started with that same one. you can change the light and just use the same fixture. The repti-glo 8.0 or the repti-sun 10.0 are your best bet. You can prob get the glo at the pet store to fit that fixture.
What is the substrate on the floor??? It is not crushed walnut is it??? That little guy looks about 1 1/2 months to 2 months old. Pet stores measure there crix as pin, small, med & large. That guy should be eating the smalls and as much as he wants for 15 minutes three times a day. As stated...
Metabolic bone disease. It is a lack of calcium and the bones get brittle and break easy (among other things). To prevent it you need to suppliment then with calcium powder once a day 5 days a week. A UVB light also (a good one) is needed. It mostly happens to little ones and juvies that are...
Welcome to the forum Again hehe I am really sorry about your other beardie. I am sure you will enjoy you little one and if you need any help the people here are great!
