    Is the white part of poo supposed to be hard?

    Pippin had a BM today. The dark part looked normal but the white part was very hard. Is it just calcium her body didn't need? I've always been told it is impossible to give a bearded dragon too much calcium. I give Pippin extra calcium because I am paranoid of her getting metabolic bone disease...

    Do brumating beardies need light?

    Pippin is brumating but I'm not sure if she needs light or not. If she does, how long does she need it for? I've been waking her up at noon and turning her light off at four PM. Is this necassary or not? When she is not brumating, I wake her up at eight in the morning and put her to bed at...

    Can bearded dragons eat peach tree leaves?

    I took Pippin outside to play and get her UVB. The vet said she is on the chunky side so she needed to run around a bit. We have a peach tree outside and I picked one of the leaves and showed it too her. Sometimes I do things and have no idea I am doing them until much later. She took a bite...

    How do I shadow a reptile vet?

    I don't know where to post this, so maybe a mod can move it. I've always known I wanted to be a vet when I grew up but after getting Pippin I've decided I want to specalize in reptiles and exotics. I've heard in order to even be considered for vet school you must have so many hours of shadowing...

    How often should I bathe my beardie?

    How often should I give Pippin a bath? I try to bathe her at least once a day but I wonder if that is too much. I never add soap or anything and let her cling to my feet (it hurts my back to bend over to give her acess to my hands). She seems like like her baths now that she has gotten older...

    The first time I saw Pippin beard

    Pippin has only bearded a few times in her short life but the first time I saw her beard was rather unexpected. My mom, Pippin, three dogs, the cat and I were all in the car driving to Texas (we were moving there). Pippin was happily snuggled in my lap or on the dashboard, I can't remember...

    How much applesauce?

    Pippin hasn't been pooping for at least a week. I don't think she is impacted because I can't feel anything hard inside her and impacted beardies often have trouble moving their back legs and Pippin runs about the house (with supervision of course) with no trouble. I wanted to take her to the...

    Will a candle scent hurt my beardie's lungs?

    My mom just bought this new devise for heating a candle. It makes the whole room smell. It smelled really nice at first (black cherry) but after a few hours it started to get stronger and stronger. It's in the same room as my bearded dragon is. Now it's so intense I feel choked by the smell and...

    Pippin has pinworms

    My mom had to take one of the chihuahuas to the vet today for a pre-surgery checkup and also brought in a sample of Pippin's poo for the vet to look at. He has pinworms. He has an oral medicine that he is supposed to be given once a week. I'm a little worried that the dossage might not be...
