    How to get my dragon to drink water

    I've tried waiting her nose, yes, that sometimes does the trick ( It depends on her mood). Good suggestiong to take her out of her tank before placing her in her bath. I've never tried that, it makes sense to me. I will give that a try. Thanks, Opi

    Coccidia and beardie behavior

    My vet specializes on reptiles ( works in the zoo). The lightbulb is 150, vapor ( I think this is what they call it). It is over12 inches away. I would say more like 20 inches away. The light is a bit under 6 months, I have to replace it within the next few day. However, this behavior has...

    Coccidia and beardie behavior

    My bearded dragon is about 18 months, she has been treated for coccidia several times. Few weeks ago, she was acting strange, she did not want to be by the light, just hid all the time and was not eating. I called the vet, tested her poop and found substantial coccidia. We put her in a pretty...

    How to get my dragon to drink water

    My girl is 18 months, she is pretty healthy by most standards. However, I'm still trying to figure out how to keep her hydrated. She will not touch the water in her tank, she hates baths, so the last thing her mind when she is in the bath is to take a drink. If I'm lucky she will eat her wet...

    Beardie tail black -

    Tracie - Tail looks the same (dark/black). I give her fluids with a syringe and now I also got a feeding tube, which I may use. She eats veggies quite frequently now - at least 5 days per week.

    Beardie tail black -

    Her beard is not black. Her behavior is pretty normal, (friendly/relaxed/good appetite). I haven't heard back from my vet but I will send him a follow-up note next week. I will post her results once I get them. She never drinks; in fact I often have to give her fluids with a syringe.....she...

    Beardie tail black -

    Is there a way to facilitate the shedding process? Her tail has been this way for weeks now. I read some old posts in where people told stories about their vets amputating or removing scales from their berdie tail due to accumulated shed! So of course, now I'm paranoid :roll: Would vaseline...

    Beardie tail black -

    The vet told me he would mail me the actual blood tests, I don't have them yet. However this is what he said: the CBC (complete blood count) reveals normal red and white blood cells, no anemia, sign of infection or inflammation, no blood parasites, and normal type and distribution of white...

    Beardie tail black -

    In all honesty, I cannot remember? I did not think much of it until recently.....specially because the vet did not mention anything about her tail, and it was like it is now??? So, I thought it was a normal thing, until I started to read about it today.

    Beardie tail black -

    The end of my my Beardie's tail is black ( about 35% percent of he tail). She has had it like this now for weeks. I'm not sure if it is progressing, it may be expanding, but I'm not sure..... Her specialized vet saw her a week ago during her annual check-up. Blood tests came up okay, her urate...

    Pet Smart

    . Yes, I've had the same experience, people in the store gave me wrong advice all the way! Had I just followed what I was told, my little girl would not have lived long. But as some people here mentioned, we felt that as a pet owners it was our responsibility to learn everything about our new...

    How to tell if a female has eggs?

    My female bearded dragon is about 12 months old, I think she is too young to lay eggs. But I noticed today these little hard bumps in the lower part of her body, almost where her tail starts. So now I'm wondering if there is a way to know when a female dragon is getting ready to lay eggs...

    Against PETCO, and any other negligent pet store/chains?!?!?

    I live in NYC and the Petco stores that I've visited all keep their reptiles in horrible conditions. In my opinion I think that anyone that wants to see some real change should probably try to document some of the issues, with video/pictures. This forum can help to collect the info from...
