Thanks everyone for your stories about your own beardies falling, I am reasured now that things will be ok. Smaug seems to still trust me and climbed onto my hand without appearing scared. It is great to have the support of others right at my finger tips. I would still be beating myself up...

YAY!! Smaug is ok (so far). She had a good breakfast this morning and then off to the bath, where she had a bowel movement and once the bath was again cleaned and rinsed, she was in there for a soak for 15 minutes. Like you Em, I had to confess to my son. At first he was shocked and then he...

Yes, I forgot to mention that she landed on hardwood flooring! Thanks for the encouragement! Cheryl

?How could I forget Smaug was sleeping on me? :banghead: I got up to plug in the laptop and then suddenly remembered that I had her sleeping on my chest. When I first looked on the ground I could only see the small fleece blanket, sized for Smaug, lying there. I frantically looked around...

Hello, I am glad to hear that you decided to keep the baby dragon! Once your set up is correct you will be able to enjoy your newest member to your family. Here are a few suggestions that I have learned from this site (we had to change probably 80% of our vivarium due to incorrect advice from...

Thanks guys for the advice and support and yes, Jacqui I am grateful for the advice Em gave us (Smaug is especially grateful), Thanks Em! The past few days have been pretty good. My only concern now is that Smaug for the last three days is showing dark stress marks. I believe he is getting...

:blob5: HOORAY!!!!!!!! :blob8: On Thursday afternoon I started to give Smaug Reptaid. So, Smaug has received Reptaid Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday! He, after having Reptaid, was showing more apparent progress on Monday. Smaug ate 22 crickets!!!!! A small victory, but a step...

Hello! A quick question - what type of lighting are you using? If you are using the ReptiSun 10 then Flukers' Calcium with D3 is correct, but if you are using a Mercury Vapour Bulb, such as the Mega-Ray, then you really need to purchase calcium WITHOUT D3 as the UV rays from the Mercury Vapour...

Hello, I thought I would respond and then compare my answers about our dragon Smaugs' care to others. How old is your dragon? 3 months old What type of UVB bulb do you use ? Mega-Ray mercury vapour bulb Do you give your lizard vitamins--if so what brand?Yes, Herptivite by Repcal How often do...

Hello! This will be my second attempt at updating Smaug's condition. I somehow erased the first one and didn't have it saved! Grrrr! :x So, Smaug went to the vet's today. The vet said that his physical appearance was great and that he was well hydrated and alert. His eyes were good also...

Sorry guys, Wow, time flew by this weekend! I hope that you all had a Happy Easter. Thanks Em for asking for Tracie's assistance. Also, thank you Jacqui and Em for checking up on Smaug. I hope that all of your dragon's are happy and health (or on the mend)! Tracie: thanks for the advice...

Thank you for the information about Reptaid. I will look into getting on Saturday. Today Smaug wouldn't eat at all. :( He had a white belly all day and was very active. Actually he (or she) did the arm wave at me. First the right arm once and then the left arm seven times. It was in slow...

I am with you about not watching the videos. That was only my second time on youtube and I am not too impressed. I did not watch any other videos after the two and plan on NEVER watching videos there unless it is from someone in my family or a close friend! Thanks for the idea on flagging the...

I realize the predator/prey thing, but it was the manner in which it occurred. The "owner" kept on taking away the lizard after it was bitten to keep the "fight" lasting longer. If the beardie tried to eat it, the owner took it away and "teased" him with it. It was the torture of the lizard...

:protest: You wouldn't believe what I saw on youtube. I just followed a thread and it was an innocent video of the arm waving behaviour. However, just being curious I scrolled down the other videos that are on the right hand side of the screen. I clicked on one that said something like...

Thanks Em! I just wanted to say Happy Belated Birthday to you as well! April is a good month for a birthday - no more winter with the promise of spring! It is 2:45 am here (in Oshawa - 30 minutes east of Toronto, Ontario, Canada)! I can barely see the keys on the keyboard right now = must go...

Thanks for the advice. I will try the dragon bites. We actually have an unopened jar of them that we were going to try on the first baby (the one the pet store had a hand in it's death). I forgot all about it! :shock: Today was a good day and Smaugs' belly was nice and white every time we...

Hi! I am sorry for your loss! :( We too experienced the loss of a baby dragon due to the impaction caused from the pet store! We were able to get a replacement for Smaug, but would have adopted one in need since reading posts from this site. It is hard when you try your best and the...

Hello again, Today is going to be a long day. I think I will go to bed a bit earlier tonight! Thanks for the info on D3. When the boys are at hockey camp tonight I will run over to the pet store to find some calcium without D3. My husband might not be too impressed. This baby dragon seems...

Hi Em - thanks for replying! I had just completed a long list of what his home is like and then poof! It was gone, lost in cyberspace! How depressing! Hmmm! I will try again. Here is a list of Smaug's environment; 50 gal breeder tank that half of it is blocked until he is bigger paper...
