He did seem more alert when I came home but still not a ton of movement around the viv. I’m going to see how he eats tomorrow morning and then decide on the vet based on that. I’ll try tracking his weight and see how that goes too. Thanks Karrie you’ve been a real help!

No deal on the discoid roaches either. I came home today to 1 poop and some urates so I was happy to see that. I’ve continued with the baby food and tried BSFL and butter worms with little success. He stares at them and seems interested but won’t pull the trigger on eating them.

For sure no enemas I’ve read too many horror stories about those. We went to butter worms to try and entice him also BSFL but he won’t touch them. Unfortunately no Dubias allowed where I’m at.

Yeah I’ll keep going with the baby prunes. My son felt like he might have gotten too large of a cricket and that seems when this all started to happen. Thinking of going to the vet tomorrow as I’m not sure what else to do.

Yeah that’s my other big concern. He hasn’t pooped in 4 days. I’m thinking it’s impaction. I haven’t seen anything in the bath as far as I can remember. Ive tried water and baby food but he takes so little. I was reading that olive oil might help so I might try a little bit of that.

They’re side by side. Here’s the tank: And heres Smoag: He does take water from a dropper and 1/2 ml of baby food from a syringe when we bathe him. We’ve been doing baths daily to make sure he keeps hydrated and to see if it would aid him in getting better.

Hey Karrie, so I got the temperature at his basking spot to 104.5F. He's not running around the viv at all, just sitting on his basking spot mostly. We've had him for 6 weeks and up until last week everything was fine, eating like a champ and pooping with urates.

Hey it's via a digital probe sitting at his basking spot. I'll go to a smaller wattage bulb and see if that helps, thanks Karrie.

Hey all, So we've been having issues with our 3 month old beardie. He all of a sudden stopped eating all insects 1 week ago. He was on a staple of crickets and collard greens before he stopped. We've tried doing butter worms and BSFL without success. He's sometimes active but mostly lethargic...

That’s awesome guys, thanks so much, I’ll check it out.

I’ve been meaning to try Phoenix worms but they seem to be pretty expensive .75 vs .11 for crickets. You’ve been awesome thanks so much for all of your help!

I’m showing 104.5 on the hammock side and 84 on the cool side. Now if he’d just eat his crickets we’d be laughing.

Does this look ok? The amount of education we've gotten from the websites/forums has been invaluable. We like all other beardie parents want to see Smoag grow and thrive and we appreciate all the help!

Hi all, First time 3 month old beardie owner here. Forgive me as I'm sure this question has been asked many times in the forums. I want to be sure we're taking good care of Smoag. We have him in an Exoterra 36x18x12 with the original mesh screen on top. I purchased a Reptisun T5 HO Reflector...
