From time to time I see the claim that one of the site moderators is a veterinarian. Is there anything to this claim?

Hi all, You might have a passing familiarity with our young bearded dragon Alduîn from this thread. I haven't posted an update in several months. Here's the short version: Current age is approximately 11 months, weight 293g. Diagnosed with MBD at very early age (approx. 2 months) despite...

Hi everyone, I'm curious about your opinions on our situation. Our young dragon, Alduîn, is recovering from MBD and thus doesn't have a lot of mobility. Until recently I was home nearly 24/7 and was thus able to interact with him frequently, check up on him, and just offer him time outside the...

Hi everyone, I have some brief questions for you today: (1) Has anyone experienced clicking sounds with the 24" Sunblaster T5 HO fixtures? Last week the one I have rigged up started making noises right after it turns on and off -- initially once or twice a minute then decreasing in frequency...

I've been trying to figure out how to get Alduîn, our young bearded dragon with MBD and significant mobility challenges, to eat some veggies throughout the day. Occasionally he'll eat a few mouthfuls of finely diced (almost minced) butternut squash if handfed, but usually he just ignores veggies...

Yesterday Alduîn (appx. 3 months old) was as spunky and rambunctious as ever -- and had a HUGE appetite, eating about 25 BSFL and 15 little dubias over the course of the day! Then this morning, I heard him shuffling around the tank after the lights came on. I walked over to say good morning and...

Short version: Concerned about juvenile beardie loss of appetite, refusal of usual staples Detailed version: Our beardie, Alduîn, is approximately 3 months old and has been with us for 3 weeks. At first we fed him crickets, which he wasn't super excited about and didn't eat many of. After a...

Hello! My partner and I recently got our first bearded dragon and we're trying to do things the right way. So far we've learned that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, i.e. don't trust pet shops -- even specialty pet shops -- to provide the things our beardie actually needs. :roll...
