    stiff, sluggish, lazy rear legs?

    Stripes seems to be having a hard time moving her rear legs. She CAN use them, but it seems like she is dragging them more than using them to walk and maneuver around her cage. She's also been spending a lot of time in ONE particular corner of her cage, since the last few months. We moved...

    Look how he sleeps

    Stripes sleeps like that occasionally... she'll also sleep while in the middle of pull-ups on her branch among others... They sleep in weird positions, as far as I've heard and seen, position is nothing to worry about- just check breathing and temps...

    picky or just not eating..

    Stripes seems to be on the extended- "I'm not going to eat what/when you want me to" thing... Vet visits have been fine. Nothing out of the usual- I'm going to chalk her not eating live feeders (except superworms- only 2 as dessert after dinner) up to a quasi-brumation. (that's what the vet...

    I am dubious of my dubia

    Sooo I want to get roaches, but I don't want to start a colony...YET. The wife isn't too fond of the idea of roaches, and stripes isn't eating much live food... I figured I'd start off with some roaches to see how stripes likes them, and if she eats, then I'll look into starting a colony. I...

    My Musical Experiment

    I'm a Musician and a music teacher. For an adventure, stripes took a ride with me to a saxophone lesson I was teaching. First off- Stripes LOVES the car. I rigged up a small piece of fleece that I cut up for her blankie and put it on the dashboard so she had something to grasp going into...

    Beardie sneeze???

    Sorry for the multiple posts- I'm assuming URI stands for Upper Respiratory Infection? Just want to make sure I'm not missing some other Beardie sickness....

    Beardie sneeze???

    No crusties anywhere. Just had a "head shed" about a week ago... not crusty though. No trouble breathing, not humid or cold in her tank, everything has been normal even with a move. I'm pleasantly surprised how quickly she has adapted to her new surroundings. She's been active, alert, likes to...

    Beardie sneeze???

    Can or do beardies sneeze? When I arrived home from work today, I pulled stripes out of her viv to run around and feed her a bit... After she was done eating, she ran in a circle, looked at me, half-flared, and then made this noise that sounded like Donald Duck getting pissed off... While...

    Is he brumating?

    definitely a spoooooky time. Stripes has definitely been lethargic, but she wakes up and will eat when I want her too, and started going after supers again, but overall, she's been snoozin more than not. Just be sure because your beardie is sleeping most of the time that you take time to...

    Is he brumating?

    Stripes is doing the same thing. She has used her rock hide, and then rearranged one of her trees and the fake bush that's in the cool corner. She gets a daily dose of water and some food... promptly followed by a forced bask, and she'll get a bath tomorrow just to make sure she releases the...

    Should I get a new vet?

    Urates is the same as it's been since we brought her home- white, and breaks up like... compacted flour (for lack of a better description). The pouch that follows is grainy and red- and literally a pouch- sometimes more pouched than others (i.e. sometimes the pouch seems broken open, others it...

    Worms

    I think I can speak for a few of us when I say thank you- I didn't know. Figured I'd ask before attempting an earthworm sample..... though, what about the one at the bottom of the Tequila? I'm sure there can't be parasites in that...

    Should I get a new vet?

    Ok, so- Stripes has only been eating at most a few nibbles of Mustard greens, a bite or two of turnip greens, and maybe having a few small pieces of grape or apple (no skin). SO, i've been continuing to feed her through a syringe with this stuff my vet gave me. A fecal test provided no...

    does your beardie sleep in bed with you?

    Only on my chest for naps after work, typically for about 1.5 or 2 hours... Only once did I attempt to have her sleep in bed with me and she did great- i just stayed up all night worried I was gonna roll over and she was going to attempt exploring in the dark... other times I've set her up in my...

    Worms

    Earthworms (nightcrawlers?) Noone even TALKS about them- are they good or bad- they are soft...what kind of nutrition do they provide? Are they even safe for beardeds? Just a thought. Gonna order some Dubia in a couple weeks when i'm in my new apartment.

    Crazy idea: could a BD drink from a hamster water bottle?

    I feel you with the squirt to the face. Water is bad enough (ever get the shake?). Stripes would only eat and drink from a syringe for a little while. Sometimes the "overshot" would happen and she would end up with this green stuff all over her little face. Think "milk mustache" but thick and...
