    Natural parasite remedies

    Hi all, My beardie was diagnosed with coccidia about 3-4 weeks ago. He went on antibiotics. However, the vet thinks he may still have them, but I'll have to wait until I can provide a fecal sample to test again. His medicine was harsh on him, he was really not happy for the week he was on them...

    How to steam clean beardie vivarium

    Hi there, I'm going to get a steam cleaner to clean my beardies cage. What kind of steam cleaner would be good? Not brand wise, but would a small one or car one do the trick? What should I do with the bulbs/bulb holders? I can't remove the holder for the UV, and the bulb is tricky to remove...

    Is it safe for a cold beardie to eat??

    Hi all. My bulb blew just a few minutes ago. I have a ceramic heat lamp, but I don't want to put it past 30°C, the max temp for the thermostat, because it gets so hot when near it (He can't touch it but if he jumps he'll get pretty near). It's on the cool side so he's a little confused for now...

    Baby beardie isn't eating veggies much anymore

    Hi! So, I know baby beardies tend to not really eat veggies and it's ok. But Maximum used to eat pretty much everything, or at least eat some veggies.

    Is a thermostat necassary?

    I'm going to have a 75w exo terra lamp, and a 60w CHE. Is a thermostat necessary? I'm on a bit of a tight budget, but I do have an infrared as my thermometer. Could I just have a pulse thermostat for the CHE maybe? They're way more affordable and available than the dimmer :?

    I'm looking for UVB bulbs near for a bearded dragon. The only ones pet stores near me carry are Reptiglo and some Exo Terra (I'm talking about the fluorescent tubes, not the compact bulbs). It's quite expensive to get reptisun abroad, with shipping and all, and arcadia is the same, and I'm on...
