Ok thanks!

Ok. Thank you very much. I thought that may be the case.

I just gave him another bath and he went. His urates have been rock hard I think that may indicate dehydration right?

I really hope so. I gave him pumpkin 3 days ago now as well. We shall see this morning or today. Thanks!

Ok great. Thank you for that clarification. If it gets to the point where he can't move his back legs I'm assuming that is temporary? I wouldn't be so concerned with how long it's been it's the way he's acting like it hurts to move and he feels bloated most of the time.

Hello, I'm trying to figure out when impaction has occurred and when a vet visit is needed. Our beardie Errtu has been trying to brumate for the past 4 months but we've been preventing it because of his age at the time and just getting over a high parasite count. He eats very little now and has...

You are correct and that makes sense. It does dry out the salads quickly but he gets them changed daily.

Our vet told us that it can lead to dehydration.

Thank you for the response. For now im sticking with ceramic tile and bricks. I do have the occasional issue with low humidity but I've remedied that with a humidifier outside of the tank and closely monitored.

What's different with this Thank you. This is good to know!

Ok thank you. I've been told by a lot of people that it's best to replicate thier environment but if it can do all that then I'm not going to. Thank you.

Hello, I think after all the trials and tribulations of owning a beardie that I am comfortable with my husbandry being correct. I'm seeing that loose substrate seems to be better for them especially joints, enrichment etc. What I've read over and over is 70% organic topsoil and 30% play sand...

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone could go over this bloodwork with me. It was taken by a regular vet who sometimes sees reptiles. I have discussed in length my beardie's issues in other posts but basically lethargy, almost constant orange urates, not eating dubias anymore and will only eat...

No real change. He will bask pretty much all day but if we get him out for awhile and out him back in he runs off like he's mad and goes and sleeps lol. I think the issue with his bm is that he's eating only superworms when any time he has ever eaten meal worms they stop him up and I give him a...

No worries! I know you deal with a lot of different situations at once and I commend you for all the help you give to people for free it means a lot. I just ordered this but won't be here until the 4th. Hopefully it works! Part of me does fear there's something going on that we haven't...

It's been about the past 4 BMs which have been around 5 or 6 days apart. That was the other guy who said he gave probiotics but I haven't given any yet. I'm going to order some now. Yes all temps are on point. When he was eating mostly dubia and I'd occasionally give him mealworms because we ran...

Hello Tracie. Everything else seems good now except his apetite and BM. He's only eating a bit of salad and superworms and only going every 5 or 6 days and it looks like this. This had sat awhile before I got home but do you think I need more testing done?

Oh wow very similar. Beautiful beardie!

Great! It looks like you've done your research. Thank you! She seemed so knowledgeable and from the University of Illinois too and has over 20 beardies I wonder why she told me that. Where are you from?

Which probiotic would you suggest?
