I feel compelled to post a memorial to our beloved bearded dragon Blaze who passed away suddenly this morning. He was a joy to us for almost 8 and a half years. So we take comfort in knowing he was well cared for and made it to a good age for a bearded. He had been fine until we were away...

I'm suspecting that since brumating is all that well understood to begin with, I won't have much luck with this post, but I'll try anyway. Our bearded is a heavy brumater. He starts slowing down in late summer every year and then sleeps solid until about New Year's. Now that we've gotten used...

Hi. We have a male bearded dragon that is about 4-5 years old now. This winter, his behavior has changed quite a bit. This particular beardie brumates deeply every fall from about late August - early September, until just after New Year's. This year, he woke up and became active in early...

Hi everyone, We have a male bearded about 4 years old now. He has been very healthy after a bout with coccidia his first year. He's never had any other problems the past three years. He normally brumates from about Sept. - January every year. He did the same as usual this year and has been...

Our bearded has concerned us for a year now. He had pinworms and coccidia last year about this time and was treated and clean. Before that, he only pooped every few days. After that, he only pooped once a week or less. Then it got to every two weeks. Right now, it's been at least 3. We've...

We are going on vacation for a week soon, and our best option for our bearded is to let friends keep him at their house for the week. His normal viv is a 55 gallon 3/8" thick glass aquarium, so obviously we're not picking that up and moving it. Has anyone needed to house their dragon...

We have a juvenile bearded male that is about 1 year old this month. Last fall, he had pinworms and coccidia that we treated and he had a clean follow up. Before the infection, he pooped pretty much every day. We realized he had the infection when he started only going every 3-4 days and the...

So, the East Coast snow stopped some cricket shipments yesterday. I guess we should have planned for such eventualities, but we don't like mixing old and new crickets and such, so always try to cut it close with no more than a 1-2 day overlap. Since crickets aren't coming today, we won't see...

I hate to post this, but we're concerned. Our BD, we think it's a female, is about 7 months old. Two months ago she had pinworms and coccidia and was treated for it successfully. We had a stool sample checked and it was clear just two weeks ago. Ever since the parasites, she has only pooped...

My bearded has a high coccidia count and the vet thinks we should treat it. I'm impressed they appear to know enough that Ponazuril is now the preferred treatment over Albon, but the problem is they have tried for three days now to find it and can't. They've tried every horse outlet they know...

I went to my local grocery store to pick up some soy based yogurt until the Acidophilize+ arrives next week, and lo and behold, found they don't carry it. They did however, have a non-dairy, non-soy, coconut milk based yogurt??? It has active cultures and is non-dairy, so I figured it would be...

So, my 5 month old beardie got us concerned when she started only pooping every three days two weeks ago instead of the every day she had been doing, so we took her to the vet. Her fecal came back positive for pinworms and coccidia (as some searching here now suggests I should have been...

My juvenile beardie has been doing great and growing by leaps and bounds, but suddenly, she hasn't pooped in 5 days. Her appetite is off slightly, but not much, and she continues to act normal. I've given her a couple of long soaks in warm water and massaged her sides/tummy, and last night, we...

So, I'm admittedly very new here to the world of bearded dragons, but I'm curious about this "stress marks" thing. I'm a bit skeptical if "stress" is really what is going on here, at least with my new dragon. The reason I'm puzzled if "stress" is really the issue is that my new little one...

I have a new, young bearded dragon about 8" long, that we got last Sunday. It has been active all week, but not eating well. I've learned a lot by reading in the past week, and found out while we thought we did, we didn't know anywhere near what we should have known by the time we brought it...
