    Gravid female, eggs not developing - how long is safe to wait before surgery?

    She definitely is a cutie! A very sassy cutie! Re: Follicles - No! And I was just saying to my husband yesterday that I sure wish I could have seen them - from sheer curiosity!

    Gravid female, eggs not developing - how long is safe to wait before surgery?

    Hi! We did convince her to eat a roach this morning (so we could give her the pain meds). Greens were untouched. Lily is typically one ravenous girl for her bugs and raspberries! Funny, neither of my dragons enjoy blueberries AT ALL and I’m told most love those! Lily definitely was sleepy when...

    Gravid female, eggs not developing - how long is safe to wait before surgery?

    Thank you both for the help! We’ve been doing the burrito and card method and it’s working out! She definitely doesn’t like it but soon this will pass! I haven’t fully inspected the incision site but man oh man that thing felt gnarly when I picked her up - which naturally made me think a burrito...

    Gravid female, eggs not developing - how long is safe to wait before surgery?

    Hehe, that’s no ladder - those are ventilation slats! I’ve not seen either dragon attempt to climb those - (we’ve made two enclosures exactly the same) Thanks for all of your support AHBD! :) you’ve been so helpful throughout all of this! Not sure I would have managed nearly as well without...

    Gravid female, eggs not developing - how long is safe to wait before surgery?

    @AHBD @Drache613 Lily is currently in recovery and I’ll be seeing her later today. ❤️ Upon x-ray, follicles looked unchanged so spay and removal was recommended and completed. Vet told me that they pulled out a whole army of follicles (Lily’s body was working overtime and trying really hard to...

    Gravid female, eggs not developing - how long is safe to wait before surgery?

    Good morning! Yes, surgery is today. I just dropped her off in fact. Awaiting to hear how the X-ray looks and how we’ll be proceeding. Have a feeling she’ll be having surgery… please keep her in your thoughts! :) I’m hopeful she’ll be just fine. She’s been her usual self throughout it all...

    Gravid female, eggs not developing - how long is safe to wait before surgery?

    @Drache613 Hi Tracie! :) Nice to hear from you! Lily is still feeling well from my observation. She’s alert, basking, eating the same as always and pooping almost completely normal again. Our scheduled surgery is this Thursday at 9am. At that point Lily will have been growing the follicles...

    Gravid female, eggs not developing - how long is safe to wait before surgery?

    Thanks so much for sharing your story @Morri ! I’m really glad to hear that your friend pulled through! :) I hope that should surgery be the end result for our Lily, we share a similar story next week! ❤️

    Gravid female, eggs not developing - how long is safe to wait before surgery?

    Hi @AHBD ! Lily is unchanged as of this moment (still feisty as ever - eating, pooping, basking as normal!). Her surgery date is next Thursday! I definitely plan to update at that time whether the eggs ended up absorbing or we had to move forward. Fingers crossed! For now I’ve continued these...

    Bug strike

    Hello, Sorry to hear you're having trouble getting your friend to eat his greens! What I do for my two little troublemakers is offer greens first thing (arugala, swiss chard, mustard greens, dandelion greens, etc). Then I wait and feed dubia around 11. Some days they eat it, other days they...

    Seeking advice from Herpstat users!

    Hi there, I purchased a Herpstat2 for my beardie, but I've been using it incorrectly. My intent with the purchase was to ensure that the basking area stay between 105-110F. Common sense told me to set the probe up where the hottest point is and so I did just that, securing the probe with a zip...

    Traveling to Canada from US with a dragon.

    Yes! I saw that one too! And then other sites like this that seem to say it's fine. https://www.justforcanada.com/bringing-your-cat-dog-or-other-pets-to-canada.html#/Reptiles That's why I wanted to ask here in hopes of finding someone who has first hand experience. I suppose I can just make...

    Traveling to Canada from US with a dragon.

    Oh yes of course, that was the first thing I did! I couldn't find a clear answer though and then a vast array of different on google. I just hoped someone here had personal experience, but that's okay, I'll figure it out. Thank you!

    Traveling to Canada from US with a dragon.

    Hello, As the title suggests, I'm planning a trip to Canada in a month and wondered if I can bring my bearded dragon with me. I'm seeing conflicting info for this online, some websites say you cannot, and others saying you can. Can someone confirm who has done it (or confirm for certain that I...

    Alive BSFL in poop?!?!

    Yes! I've thought that myself, so many undigested! I'm in a bind on what else to offer. I feel like dubia exclusively probably isn't great (variety is important). Crickets are frustrating because my beardies don't seem to be comfortable eating in a separate feeding bin, and even if I chill them...

    Alive BSFL in poop?!?!

    I'd like to add that she digests everything else really well, and isn't displaying any concerning behaviors.

    Alive BSFL in poop?!?!

    Hello, I'm no stranger to finding undigested BSFL in my gals poop, but today took the cake finding one still alive... Is that crazy or? Should I be concerned?

    Care of feeder insects

    Hello there, I'm looking for some advice when it comes to housing multiple feeder insects, notably, how to keep them at the appropriate temperatures and if they can be housed in close proximity without risk of cross contamination. As we approach fall, I’m thinking ahead for this. I’m open to...

    Looking for someone who performs their own fecal tests

    Hello, http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Fecaltest.html This should explain enough to give you an idea. There are also a few videos online. That said, I don't want to give any impression that I'm advocating folks to skip a vet visit. If you think something is wrong, best not to play god with...

    Looking for someone who performs their own fecal tests

    Hi there! I've just recently started doing fecal tests at home for my bearded dragon and leopard gecko. I was wondering if anyone else here does as well? If you do, and you have some experience with this, please PM me. I'd love to share my slide results and make sure I am interpreting this...
