Baby dragon are notorious eaters. I kept a record of my first dragon and her daily/weekly eating schedule. At the highest point in a week she ate over 1000 feeders. As long as the dragon is gaining and the poops are normal, I would not be concerned at all.

I think this would be totally fine, considering you can use a diluted chlorhexidine in their mouths for brushing teeth. I personally use F10 solution, it is a veterinary grade cleaning disinfectant that is also super safe and also ok if there is any residual residue.

My vet told me that you can use Denta-Chlor (a diluted chlorhexidine) you can buy at the vet) on a Q-Tip and rub the teeth with that. I have also heard that you can use diluted Betadine (color of weak tea), and do the same thing.

Terribly sorry for your loss :(

Ha, Ha Ha...I do this all the time with Balzor!

I can relate to this...and I feel for you. I know how stressful this is on you and her. I can lend you some advice based on experience. I had two females who laid clutches every three weeks for 5 months. It takes a toll on them for sure. Especially as they get older. I will share my tips with...

My new beardie is also 4 months old, and varies in his attitude quite a bit. He is very friendly, then turns mean. He once bit me while I was replacing his veggies dish. He ran at a full tilt speed across the cage and bit me right on the hand (he definitely meant too)! Anyway, he still varies...

My baby beardie sits like this with both back feet and legs like this. As AHBD said it it quite normal. I catch mine like this a lot :)

I have used ceramic tile for ages, but it MAY have lead to arthritic concerns for a couple of my dragons. As this may have been a possibility, when I made my new viv's I used decking vinyl sheet, bonus is it is u/v/heat resistant, textured and has some soft cushioning. However, it is important...

Yeah. my first dragon was a prolific egg layer and it was hard to keep weight, and calcium on her. Littlefoot, the one I just lost was really bad too. She laid a clutch 3 weeks after brumation in mid February, then continued to lay one every three weeks until the end of June. She was 10 years...

Wow, that is a massive beardie! Biggest I have heard of. I am not doing anything to excellerate his growth at all. I give him a salad in the morning (which on most days he does not touch), and then feed him at 5:00 and 7:30. I doubt it was anything you did to cause that rupture on your Chomp. I...

Balzor is big! I had one itty, bitty baby dragon before Balzor. She was my first and her name was Emmalee. I kept an extensive journal on her with daily records for the first two years of her life. She was a decent sized dragon, so the comparison here is amazing. Drum roll please.... Emmalee...

This is especially, but not exclusively for @AHBD and @xp29 . This is my fifth dragon. I have had two females previously that were raised as babies, and two other dragons that were second hand. All have passed. So now it is a good time to have a crazy baby (at least one more time). Balzor...

Seriously increase the greens and veggies. You say he typically eats dubia. Dubia is not necessarily a bad protein source, but gout is usually due to an imbalance of protein to greens. Silkworms are great, really great. Again, too much silkworms will also be too much protein, and you would still...

OMG, that is too funny. I really needed that laugh today!

Schedule will depend on the dragon's age, so that would be important to know. I have used Rep Cal Multivitamin for years, and that one still is a good choice. Recently, I have been trying Repashy Calcium Plus. This is of course calcium with all the multi vits to include D3. It really depends on...

I think any bee pollen is safe, but I usually will get mine from a local source. We have local honey farms here and any honey farm should also carry the bee pollen.

Last post for this thread. Had a call with the vet today who called me as a follow up to Littlefoot's death. She expressed her sympathy and asked me what had happened, which of course brought back all that trauma. She then told me that she checked the calcium dose given sub cue to Littlefoot...

I am so very sorry to hear this. I lost my dragon last night as well. She was just at the vet in the afternoon, and died within hours of coming home. My dragon death experience sounds similar to yours. At 6 pm after eating she was very pale, including rhe inside of her mouth, her beard was jet...

Unfortunately, about 3 hours after my last post this sweet girl passed away. She went pale with a black beard around 6 pm after eating her favorite silkworms. I placed her in her soft basket and waited for the inevitable. It was not the most peaceful, but I tucked her in, kissed her little head...
