    Rocket has passed on :( The vet said we had little chance after the horrible shipping. Spending the weekend in a cold post office with no food or water was too much shock on his little system. He only weighed 2 grams today, and even with everything we did, he was all bones. His liver was...

    little guy picked his head up and looked to enjoy his morning bask. I forced 1 cricket and a little baby food. he went back to being a rag doll. I gave him a 20 minute bath, and returned him to bask. He has a 3pm appointment with the doc, I hope he makes it that long, sad sight.

    12 week old Beardie - how many crickets can it eat?

    I also have a colony of Dubias growing in the garage. They have been going almost 8 weeks now. I hope to have them to a size where the colony will sustain itself and feed the little guy in a few more months. Once he has a little more energy, I will dig up a little Dubia, and see how that goes.

    12 week old Beardie - how many crickets can it eat?

    So the simple idea of getting our boys a Bearded Dragon as a pet has turned into a nightmare of sorts. The first attempt ended with a dead dragon in about a week, respiratory infection. We got a replacement from the breeder and we are right back where we started from. you can read the Saga up...

    Thursday morning update... Still pretty lethargic this morning, he does not fight my man handling him too much, I would love to see more fight. Warmed him up, and force fed him 2 crickets about the size of space between his eyes, coated with Repti-Vite. He does a good job of swallowing...

    yep, making poop, that is good. Energy is off, and he looks pretty clumsy when he walks. time will tell. I am going camping in 1 week for 4 days. The question will be, take him, or leave him, but the kids that will watch him, will not be able to keep up this level of care :(

    I am getting a little more aggressive with feeding. I am starting to get worried, as he is not eating much. I have discovered a technique to open him mouth with one had pretty easy, and then he leaves it open for a couple seconds, making is real easy to place a phoenix worm in the mouth. once...
