    Frantic behavior, stopped eating

    Our ADV-positive beardy has had a long journey and stopped eating for a few months. We got her back eating again for about 2 weeks, and she stopped eating again. But this time, she's exhibiting same fairly frantic behavior. She will constantly try to get out of her terrarium by scratching...

    Stopped eating after being sick, can only syringe feed

    I posted this earlier in another forum, but came up short and we are desperate for any information at all that can help.. Things are getting a lot more urgent (the longer this goes on, the tougher it's going to be), and I'm hoping that I can find some people who have experience with this to...

    Strategies to get beardie to eat again after syringe feeding

    One of our juvenile (about 3 months old) bearded dragons got very sick with a respiratory infection and stopped eating. She lost so much weight that the vet was all but assuming that she would not make it. On the advice of the vet, we started syringe feeding her. After a round of antibiotics...
