    Possible Parasites?

    I'm concerned about the appearance and odor of my beardie feces. I'm uncertain if her stool appears normal or if it may indicate a potential parasite issue. She looks healthy and has a good appetite, activity level, and stable weight, but the shape and smell of her feces worries me. Tank is in...

    Bearded dragon brumating again?

    My bearded dragon has been displaying unusual behavior lately. After a three-month brumation period that concluded about a month ago, today she dug a burrow and spent the entire day sleeping in it. Despite maintaining proper UVB and temperature levels, with an Arcadia T5 and basking spot...

    how long does brumation usually last?

    My bearded dragon has been in brumation for nearly 3 months, and this is her first brumation. She's almost 1 year old now. During this time, she appears to be in a deep sleep with her eyes closed, taking refuge in her cave. However, she does open her eyes when she hears noise. Despite her...

    gooey sticky mucus discharge from the nose

    I got her to the vet - he said it's an upper respiratory infection. He flushed her nostrils with saline solution as her nose where clogged and suggested I flush her nostrils if they got clogged again with water. He also gave me Enrofloxacin to give orally 0.12ml once a day for 7 days. Her weight...

    bubbles from nose

    I do bathe her from time to time, so it is possible that she might have aspirated some water. I have been noticing these bubbles for some time along with some slight difficulty breathing occasionally but not all the time. I noticed also that her mouth is slightly open while she is sleeping. No...

    Staple veggies unavailable

    So I can feed Kale Arugula daily? I read Kale binds with calcium and reduces calcium absorption. Arugula is available in plenty here.

    Staple veggies unavailable

    I can't find any mustard, turnip or collard greens where I live. I know these are the staple veggies for bearded dragons. I have searched a lot of shops and online but in this part of the world (Dubai), I couldn't find any of them. All turnips in vegetable markets have already been cleaned out...

She is currently in shed, but that does not look like...

    not eating greens

    thanks for the tips. I sometimes put a small amount of greens in her mouth while she is basking with her mouth open and she eats them. Is this okay and does it help make her used to eating greens?
