First thing I can say without a picture. If your "night light" produces light, it's not good for your little one. Night time heat is only needed if the ambient temperature falls below 65F or so. If buffet mix is the dried stuff you get from the pet store, then don't offer it. It's just filler...

Protein causes them to create urea which is not great, and they much prefer veggies anyway

RIP little Zeke, you were loved for your short life

I wanted to add that discoids can be hard for younger beardies because of their leg spikes

He's looking very healthy!

Keep an eye out. Very foul smelling poops can be a sign of parasites <3

I've heard of some beardies not liking to poop in their habitats. Maybe yours is like that. You may want to start a habit where you bathe him and see if he'll poop in there? IDK if you've already tried that though

Adorable! There are people who intentionally let them become flies because they are slow enough to catch. It's good enrichment. Also, to prevent them from growing/changing into flies, you can keep them at 50-60F, in the fridge can kill them, so I don't recommend that

What a cutie!! Hello!

Usually adults don't like to bask that hot. Does she actually sit in the areas that are 108??

Not from beardie knowledge, but from irl knowledge. You should always complete antibiotics.. always. You run the risk of the infection coming back, but more drug resistant. It won't hurt to have them any more than it already has (the gut flora is likely already dead), and it could potentially...

I was lucky when mine was on oral antibiotics.. he opens his mouth to show displeasure.. so I would just try until he got mad, and pop it in. Please keep us posted on how it works out

Mine is still learning to trust me. I don't know what he got exposed to in his previous home, but he's very nervous of the other animals, and the tv, and outside... I'm sorry your baby won't eat phoenix worms, mine chows down on them.. like a lot.. Which reminds me, it's time to order more...

I recently got him to start eating squash, and I deduced that was the likely culprit between when I posted the update and now.

Did anyone give you advice on how to get her mouth open? I've seen people say you can gently grab their beard to open their mouths or use a toothpick and gently push on the middle of their mouth (at the tip) Here's to hoping she gets better. Babies temps can be as high as 110-115F btw. Adults...

Sharing some additional pics

Update: he now moves around his enclosure even more. He's also started pooping twice per day and being more hungry. However, today his stool was loose, which is a tad concerning, with the additional pooping happening. Also, 2 nights ago he had what looked like undigested food in his poop. Like...
