This is never a good idea. It's true that there is a handful of beardie owners out there that have successfully housed 2 beardies... But there are countless beardie owners out there that have done so, only to come home to a injured, dismembered, very sick pet, or worse dead one day even though...

Pin worms are very common in beardies... Did the vet reccomend that you treat her for pin worms? Most times vets reccomend that unless the pin worms counts are high, or there is apetite, or behavioural changes not to even bother treating for them as the meds are usually very harsh on their...

Welcome to BD.org, and congrats on your new addition! First things first, you will need to do a lot of research on the proper care of your new pet. Luckily you've come to the right place... I would suggest first carefully reading through our care sheet...

OK going on your response I would say that your beardie needs a nice loooong soak tonight... 20 min, keep the water warm, and the level up to his arm pits. make sure the vent is submergerg. Try lightly flicking your finger in the water just enough to cause ripples in front of him, hopefully he...

I would avoid super worms right now for your female until you are certain everything is ok, they are a little hard to digest. Be sure the crickets are no bigger than the space between their eyes, and you should offer them as many as they will eat within 15 min. For your female you may want to...

When was the last time he had a bowel movement? Does he lay like that often? any trouble walking around? You really should start using a calcium supliment withOUT D3, with the high amounts of UVB that he is getting from his MVB bulb, his body is likely already producing sufficent D3... Too...

Could be beardie puberty? How old is she?

Coild and Compact lights in general are not good. They emit very poor levels of UVB. The ReptiGlo just happens to be the worst, not only is the UVB output sub par, the spectrum of light can lead to ocular irritation and prolonged use can lead to permanent damage in herps. My suggestion is to...

Your temps sound perfect! It will depend on how much damage was done to the eye to determine how long it will take before she is able to open her eye again, ocular irritation can be compared to a human looking into the sun, a welders arc, or going snow blind... Kind of feels like sand in the...

I am a little concerned here considering the questions you are asking, and the scale of breeding it sounds like you have already started... I don't think you are ready for this quite yet, nor do I think you have weighed the cost of this hobby. I would strongly suggest you take some time to...

Whether you house males with females, males with males, or females with females... They will establish a hierarchy right away, and the less dominant beardie will suffer... maybe by missing out on a little food because the more dominant beardie is still hungry, or because the less dominant...

Yes those circular marks on her belly are "Stress marks" I wouldn't worry too much about them as they don't exactly signify a stressed out beardie, there are many, many reasons a beardie will show those marks... IE Cold, hungry, tired, don't like the shirt you are wearing, don't like what's on...

How old are both of your beardies? How long have they been housed together? I am going to go out on a limb here and say you female is most likely stressed out... either from over breeding and the extreme toll it takes on the females body, or simply from being housed in a small enclosure with...

Lots of good info from Ethelia and Bugsy here! I will, second... errr... third that the Repti-Glo is the main culprit! And as Bugsy suggested, it IS a good idea to turn it totally off right away. No UVB is better than BAD UVB. You can go up to a couple of days without the UVB light to give you...

Chances are there is something off inside the enclosure (temps, lighting ect) Please answer the following... How old is your dragon? How long have you had your dragon? How long is your dragon? What is the sex of your dragon? What size enclosure do you have your dragon in? What type substrate...

Can you please answer the following questions to your best ability... Try to be as specific as possible... How old is your dragon? How long have you had your dragon? How long is your dragon? What is the sex of your dragon? What size enclosure do you have your dragon in? What type substrate do...

Yeah it's amazing the things that will amuse us beardie owners! lol Glad I could help!

Your best bet would be to cover up some of the ventilation holes, or screen... You may also have some luck with using a very small UTH off to a corner with some water crystals, or wet towel or whatever it is you use to hydrate them right on top of the UTH.

Try using your bathtub so he has a little room to swim around. You can leave your hand in the water underneath him for a little while until he gets used to it. Most beardies don't like baths in the very begining but that quickly learn to love them... And best of all, next to oral fluids...

Such a sad story, I am so sorry for your loss but at the same time I am very happy that you made the RIGHT decision. I couldn't imagine losing my little girl, and I am amazed every day by how attached I have become to her. They are very special little animals and I am sure in time... when you...
