    Cleaning homemade enclosure

    I recently lost my bearded dragon. She had gout, but I never had her tested for adenovirus. I have a homemade enclosure. The bottom is melamine, but the sides are wood. I've gone through some threads about sanitizing aquariums for adenovirus that suggest bleaching them and resealing them to...

    Swollen hind limb = MBD?

    I have a small dragon that was born in 2008. Yesterday I noticed that one hind limb and foot is swollen. I've made a vet appointment for tomorrow morning, but is this likely to be MBD, and can they improve even if older? I'm not sure I understand this as I use a Powersun MVB and feed collards...

    Quit eating salads?

    I have a female bearded dragon that is 6 years old. Recently, she has all but stopped eating her salads, no matter what I do. I am using mustard, collard, or turnip greens. I did recently purchase a new MVB bulb because I thought the old one was having an issue (it ended up being the switch...

    Toenails

    I am really scared to cut my bearded dragon's toenails. They definitely seem too long. Is there something that I can put in the cage to grind her toenails down a bit? Or do I need to bite the bullet and cut them?

    Ads for very sick bearded dragons

    I am really just venting about some of the shocking ads that you see with photographs of very sick bearded dragons. Not to depress or upset anyone, but I wonder if the animal depicted in this ad is even alive: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/pet/3735612784.html. Others like this...

    Kansas City Craigslist Posting

    http://kansascity.craigslist.org/pet/3200632918.html Here is a bearded dragon in a tiny, tiny tank. It makes me wish I had more than 1 tank and could take care of another one. The bearded dragon itself looks to be in good shape, so he might be a good project to take on. He's listed for $60.

    Change Bulbs?

    I have always used Powersun 160 W bulbs for my BD. The local pet store has switched to a new brand - ExoTerra, I believe. Is it just as good, or should I drive a little farther and get what I know has worked?

    Craigslist question

    I've always heard that bearded dragons are good reptiles for novices. However, on Craigslist, you see so many healthy looking geckos, etc., but so many skinny bearded dragons. Why is that? P.S. Here is a link to a Kansas City craigslist bearded dragon posting but up last night. He looks so...

    What else can I feed?

    I have a bearded dragon that is a little over 1 yr. old. I've been feeding mostly crickets. I fed phoenix worms for a while, but as she got bigger it seemed to really take a LOT of phoenix worms, and there were a lot of undigested ones in her stools. The crickets are fine, but it is hard for...

    Suddenly stopped eating veggies

    My bearded dragon used to love the vegetables. Now, all of the sudden, she doesn't want them. She's still eating crickets really well. However, all of the sudden, she ignores the veggies. Has anyone experienced this?

    Phoenix Worms-More ?s

    I think I'm going to order some phoenix worms for my bearded dragon. I do have questions, though. 1) Size: I'm not exactly sure how long my bearded dragon is - maybe 13 or 13 1/2 inches? Should I order mediums? 2) How many can they eat at once?

    Vitamin Mistake

    Per my post in the "Feeding forum," I'm a complete novice. And I've goofed. For the past few weeks I've given my bearded dragon vitamin power with phosphorous instead of without. It's about 8 months. How concerned should I be?
