Would love some advice. Our ~15 month old beardie has started hiding most of the day. Not sure what's going on. Typically she comes out in the morning and basks, but for about a week now she stays in her hide (unless someone decides to get her out). If I happen to take her out to look at her, I...

Brief update-stool sample came back negative. Beardie seems to be acting ok other than still not eating on their own and glass surfing. Being fed critical carnivore and drinking some water through a syringe, sometimes they drink a little during a bath. Other than that they seem to be acting...

We've got a prescription for Panacur. Once every 2 weeks, 3 total doses. They ate a few mealworms this morning, first time in a week. No interest in anything else. I did do one round of the supplement, and they didn't care for it but got some down. He/she has been glass surfing a lot today...

They already got the first dose of dewormer-if only I had known it might affect his/her appetite we would've held off.😖 Undigested bugs were when I had an IR gun reading of 111⁰ but the probe (the wonky one) was at 95⁰. I've since replaced that probe. It seems like we're still having issues...

Post-vet appt update: Unsure of gender. I will look into this more and see if we can determine our beardie's gender. Dehydration. Vet gave them subcutaneous fluids Stool samples sent out for testing Started on anti-worm medicine. Once per every 2 weeks/3 total doses Suggested continuing...

I read a lot of the posts on this forum about enemas. Scared me right away from that. I forgot to mention he's got an area on his tail that doesn't look like any pictures of tail rot. He shed about 2 weeks ago, not sure if it's related. There was a piece of shed on it that fell off, and the...

Thank you for all the replies. At this point I think we've got his basking spot stabilized. It's at 95.7⁰ and he's in it but looking sleepy and his beard is darker than usual. Is that to be expected? The light had to be moved higher and dropped to a single 50w bulb (from the two 75w) to make it...

I didn't see him basking at all and decided to check the temperature again-the probe read 123! I am headed out to get two 50w bulbs and hope to get it closer to where he needs.

So I replaced the wonky temperature probe and had to adjust all the lighting again. It was too hot. Now we've got these readings: Cool side 78.3⁰F Warm area 86.2⁰F Basking area 110⁰F I've attached a picture-don't mind the little bit of a mess where he ran through the salad (still not eating...

Hi! Thank you for responding. You answered to my post yesterday and we did change the height of the light fixture. It's now 13" from the bulbs to the surface of his basking rock. Are rocks really safe to use? I worry about him being burned. It's just a piece of natural sandstone, not one of...

Hello-I've got some lighting/heat questions regarding our current setup. Advice would be greatly appreciated! We've got a 13-14 month old beardie. Currently he lives in a ReptiZoo 120 gallon 48" x 24" x 24" tank with the black back and sides. We have the Carolina Custom Cages 34" T5HO UVB...

We were getting undigested bugs before he stopped eating and started the glass surfing. I thought he might have an impaction since we were feeding him mealworms so he would actually ingest calcium (he started to refuse the powder and we got liquid and he would eat the mealworms right away). We...

Thank you for responding. I have a digital IR surface thermometer and it reads different than the probe that we've got---not sure the probe is functioning properly, but when I checked the basking temp earlier, the IR thermometer read 111 and the probe was 95. We've got the Zoo Med ReptiSun 10.0...

Hello all, I've got a beardie that is 13-14 months old. We've had it for a year. About a week ago, they started to glass surf and the appetite decreased. We've covered any glass areas in the enclosure to make sure there aren't any reflections causing aggression, but it's not helped. Taking them...
