Hi all, I haven't posted in a while, but I was feeding my dragon the other day and she bit my finger. I didn't think anything of it because it didn't even break the skin, but now my finger is swelling, and hot and my glands are swelling. What are the issues I have to watch out for in terms of...

I was not sure where to post this, but I thought it might be important. I have a juv beardie which I bought from a reputable breeder a few months ago. I ha bought a new MVB bulb for her about a month ago. All of a sudden my beardie began showing signs of MBD. She was weak and dizzy. I took...

Here she is and soooooo CUTE!! LOL Here she is catching some ZZZZZ's. We laughed so hard at the way she is sleeping in that pic! Here she is sleeping in bed with my Nephew. The flash woke her up and she is looking grumpy! Just hanging out on a tin can! Here she was looking at me like...

Hello everyone, I am sad to say, that after all his struggles, we had to put Perry to sleep. He was such a good little boy with such a fight for life, it was a really hard decision. The break in his jaw was not healing properly and he developed a weird eye problem that ballooned into a bad...

I thought I would give everyone an update on Perry. About two weeks ago my juv bearded dragon broke his jaw (effect of MBD). Well the break on the side of his jaw has healed YAY! but the break by his chin has not mended and is still totally unstable. It has not been able to heal because it...

Hi all, As some of you may know, I have a small beardie, by the name of Perry, who has been facing a lot of struggles over the past two months. I have another thread about his struggles in this section titled "I AM SO MAD!" For those who are reading about Perry for the first time I will...

I just got back from the emergency vets with Perry. His jaw is broken :cry: I was syringe feeding him when he bit down on the syringe really hard. I saw some blood on his front lip and the side of his jaw moved. I took him to the vet who said it was broken. Most likely a result from the...

For those not following the thread. I have a current thread titled "I am so mad" about the struggle with my baby's health. Perry LIVES lol. I took Perry to the vet on Monday, they were AMAZED to see him doing so well. They couldn't get enough blood to test his kidney function but they said...

Where can I purchase dandelion greens?

Hi everyone, I have an ongoing post under "I am so mad" but I thought I would post this here as well so hopefully I will get a faster response. I have been struggling with an ill beardie for a couple of weeks now. He was diagnosed with MBD and kidney failure (we are hoping that he has some...

Ok, I have a post on here about my baby being ill. I have been force feeding him with a syringe for about 2 weeks. He has been doing fairly well with it, although is getting more and more stubborn. Something happened today though and I am not sure if I should be scared or not..... His tummy...

Hello all, I have had a sick beardie who I have had to force feed for the last few weeks. I think he might be ready to transition back to live food but I am unsure the best way to approach this. I was hoping he would just naturally switch back on his own but he seems frightened of any live...

Hello everyone. I have a 5 mo beardie who stopped eating about a week ago. At first I thought it was a worm strike, because I fed him butter worms for a few days (which he loved!). When he first stopped eating, I was able to basically force feed him some silk worms by opening his mouth and...

I am not sure if this is ok to post and I am not really trying to slam Pet Smart but from reading a lot of posts about bearded dragons, both here and on other boards, I am beginning to see a common trend. SO many new beardie owners are getting really poor advice while purchasing their new...

General questions I posted this in the general discussion forum but I think it may be more appropriate here. I have a 41/2 month old beardie. He/she is only 7 inches from tip to tail. From reading other posts, this seems a bit small. How big should a beardie be at this age? How much should they...

I have a 41/2 month old beardie. He/she is only 7 inches from tip to tail. From reading other posts, this seems a bit small. How big should a beardie be at this age? How much should they grow? He/she has probably grown about 1/2inch in the month that I have had it. He/she eats well and...

Anyone ever try and build a cricket cage that a beardie can get in and out of but crickets can't? Maybe an acrylic box with something like a dog door? Any suggestions?

WOW, my baby does not eat very much in comparison to other beardies on here. He is 4 months (born mid July) and eats about 20 small crickets and 20 small phoenix worms per day. He does not eat any veggies, although I offer a variety everyday. I offer more than he eats, but he just does not...

I have a 4mo old baby who is about 7" in length. I just got him on Thursday and is doing really well. I am curious though because he does not seem to like his basking spot. Generally he hangs out on top of his hide or on top of the bricks I use to section off his cage. Both are on opposite...
