Hello everyone. For the past couple of weeks I have noticed an increasing number of what appear to be fruit flies altho I am not entirely sure that they are! They are basically tiny little black round things which seem to be crawling all over my beardie Spike. The worse part is that they get...

Well hello everyone, sorry I havent written earlier, its been manic here. I did what you suggested regarding the babyfood, and on monday he managed to take a little bit of pumpkin and squash puree and also apple puree, doesnt like being fed via the seringe but he took some, thats the main thing...

Thanks Tracie/Diane, got the seringe and bought 3 pots of baby food, one of squash and sweet potatoe, one of sweet potatoe an chicken (no bits tho) and a apple puree. He had some sweet potatoe from the seringe, not a lot but its a start, tried the other one, and licked off the apple puree, only...

Thanks for the advice, just to clarify, the pumpkin needs to be cooked right? Im not sure if he has impaction, he seems to have bowel movements 2 or 3 times a day, but i must admit, not a lot has come out lately. I do regularly give him some water which he laps it up. I have phoned around to...

Hello everyone, my poorly beardie came home last week and ate very well for the whole of last week, about 20 mealworms a day, and quite a fair amount of greens that I chop very finely in a mixer, he loves eating it off the paper towels that i ve put in his vivarium. I have tried to offer him...

Thank you for your post, well he has in own vivarium now, so really hoping he will be less stressed! At the moment he s only eating mealworms, doesnt want to know the locusts nor the vegs i present him, he s eating more or less 20 worms a day, so going to get this powder called cricket plus...

Spike's progress/ Hello again, well Spike has been eating quite a lot of mealworms since Monday, on average about 15 to 20 a day, but not interested in salad or veg. He seems a bit more active and inquisitive too but his colouring seems to be changing quite a lot. He had a small normal poo last...

Hello everyone, well I brought Spike home today!! He was looking quite lethargic and sickly yellow but as soon as I put him under the new Reptisun 5.0 in his new vivarium, he changed colour in about 2 minutes! He basked and basked for ages, pulling his neck out. His eyes are so much better, not...

Thanks Tracie, Diane and VT flash, the information about the light is very useful. When you say the light is very weak, you mean 15 W is not strong enough right? Should i buy one that is 25w or 30w? If its going to be right next to the heating light, there wont much space for a long tube uvb...

First of all thank you so much Tracy, Vt flash and Guaposmomma for such prompt reply. Well I phoned the vet this morning and the nurse said that he wasnt doing too badly. His weight is stable-74g, he put on 1g since wednesday and his eyes are much brighter. The nurse said that he's still very...

Hello everyone, in a desperate attempt to save our little beardie I have just registered to this website, wish I had known about it earlier! Our little beardie "Spike" is roughly about 8 months old and has been poorly for a while but has gone worse in the last week or so, despite our efforts in...
