    Is my beardie healthy?

    Picture of feeding time. He can’t seem to be able to eat the shell/skeleton of the dubias? Does that mean they’re too big? I normally pull the shells out while he’s eating to avoid impaction or constipation:

    Is my beardie healthy?

    Very sorry for the late reply I lost the email connected to this account and spent days trying to get it back. He is eating around 3 dubia’s a meal and I try to feed him every 4 hours or so. He’s still only about 22g but isn’t as active inside his tank. He spends most of the time in his basking...

    Baby beardie seeing stress marks daily please help

    5 each feeding and the same with crickets. I haven’t gave him crickets recently but I’ll get some today or tomorrow. I try to let him eat the food himself but often the bsfl somehow climb out of the ceramic bowl I got. They then run under the carpet before he eats them. What do you think I...

    Baby beardie seeing stress marks daily please help

    I feel like I’m stuck. He eats during his meals but it’s rarely anything. Same thing with crickets. I try to feed him 3 times a day and he only eats abt 5 bsfl every meal. I have to hand feed it to him too as he won’t even touch it if it’s not hand fed.

    Baby beardie seeing stress marks daily please help

    I’ve noticed they’ve started to go away. He also loves butternut squash but only eats a tiny bit at a time. He still eats around 5 bsfl every meal and I’ve been weighing him daily and he’s growing. He’s also shedding. Can you recommend some liquid/puree baby food or something I could make myself...

    Baby beardie seeing stress marks daily please help

    Yes. I cut a piece of the mesh to put the uvb strip so that no uvb is getting removed. Here’s a pic. I’m sending that it may be cause of the temperature and how his skin reacts to it as wheneve I take him out of the tank his marks instantly go away. He eats regularly t around 5 full gut loaded...

    Update: the hornworms came today and he ate 3. Im gonna give him 3 twice week as a treat. He’s been eating better and put on 3 grams of weight. After I fed him and bathed him today I saw him sticking his tail up. Never seen him do it so not sure what it means. Any ideas?

    Stubborn baby doesn’t want to eat

    I ordered some medium sized hornworms that look at isnt in the picture compared to the quarter. I just slowly sprayed him and saw him drunk which is good. I misted the tank and saw him glass surfing it too. Not sure if he was trying to drink the water off the tank or not

    Stubborn baby doesn’t want to eat

    Thank you. I try to let it drip down on his how’s so he can lick it. I also must the tank 3x a day to get the humidity up to around 25 and for him to lick the water off. Do I need to go to a vet for a fecal test or can I buy one online?

    Stubborn baby doesn’t want to eat

    So no vet? He poops regularly which is good I attatched a picture of his poop today. I think he’s eating like a handful of worms a day when I’m not looking but no veggies no greens. He seems to be deathly scared of me which could be why we whenever I try to reach my hand in to clean, bathe, or...

    It’s 68 on the cool side all day not just night. He poops regularly but todays was a bit runny compared to the last.

    Stubborn baby doesn’t want to eat

    I moved the hammock on both sides so now there’s a tiny basking spot that he can lay on if he wants abs most of the hammock is 6 inches under the uvb bulb. I also used a ceramic heat bulb on the other side as the “cool” side is 68 degrees which was way too cold.
