    Considering rehoming -- mental health taking a turn

    Hi, all. It truly pains me to admit this, but I've been recently looking into rehoming my beardie. I have anxiety and depression, and a little over a year ago, I looked into caring for a pet who might help with my mental health. I came across beardies and thought they were perfect, and I know...

    Please help -- not eating after medication, concerning stool

    Hi, all. My nearly 11-month-old male beardie was having a small amount of blood in his stools, so I took him to the vet a few weeks ago to get him checked. His fecal test showed that he had a high load of coccidia as well as flagellates. He was prescribed Albon for the coccidia and Panacur for...

    Is this a prolapse?

    Hi, all -- my baby pooped in the bath today and strained at the end, pushing out a tiny bit of blood. I inspected his vent area and found this: I'm not sure what the small, white crescent-shaped thing poking out of his vent is. It's soft and he doesn't seem to react abnormally to it being...

    Straining after pooping

    Hi, all -- my little baby seems to be having a pooping problem again. Whenever he poops (which he does daily), he'll poop as normal, with no problem (no signs of straining), and the urate/poop will come out looking just fine (soft white urates, firm brown poop that holds its shape). However...

    Grey beard, even after shed?

    Hi all, My approximately 8-month-old beardie recently went through a full shed and thus just shed his beard yesterday. Ever since he came to me a couple of months ago, he's had a grey-ish beard, which I had thought was because he was about to shed, but instead it went very pale while in shed...

    When to switch over to one live feeding a day?

    Hi! I've been scouring the internet for any definitive feeding guides and while they have largely similar advice for feeding hatchlings and adults, I've run into some varying information regarding feeding older juveniles (8+ months). I've seen some guides claim that you should start doing one...

    Blood in poop?

    Hi, everyone -- I just gave my baby his daily bath, where he went potty and the result is a bit alarming to me. Here's a picture: His stool was well-formed (before he kicked it into a mess, but you can see most of it still there by his tail in the upper left corner. However, towards the end...

    7 month old beardie not eating as much

    Hello! My approximately 7-month-old beardie has been changing up his eating schedule (and consequently, his bowel movement schedule as well) and I'm not sure what's going on. I've had him for about a month now, and up until a week ago, he was steadily eating 20 large dubias twice a day at 12 PM...

    Normal poo?

    Hi, all! We're approaching the 2 week mark with my 6-month-old baby now, and he seems to be settling in quite well (his belly has been clear of stress marks for a week now). I've been trying to get him to poo in the bath (with seeming success), but that's made it a bit difficult for me to...

    Peeing and pooping separately?

    Hi! New beardie owner here, my little 6-month-old has been with me for about 4 days now. I expect him to have a bit of diarrhea due to relocation stress, but I've noticed that he'll tend to produce a urate (soft white chunk with liquid around it) first and then actually poop a while later. For...

    Anxious New Beardie Owner -- advice/check my setup?

    Hi, everyone! I've been dreaming of having a beardie for a very long time, and now was finally the right time and place to get one. My new baby is a 6-month-old hypo trans male, with German Giant in him, so he is a big boy! I haven't properly measured him yet but he looks to already be 12...
