OK, So he's still lethargic and only eating pureed food, Still having daily baths and still hasn't shed. Anyone think this might be something else too? I'm freaking now! Any more help would be appreciated

Thank you very much for your reply. Normally, He would eat 5 medium (3cm ish) locusts a day but since the problem he's only really eaten 3 or 4 in the past 2 weeks, just more squash, and stewed apple (that I made myself, so It is unsweetened.) Thank you, you have put my mind at ease a little...

Hi Guys, I posted a month back about Gandhi, my 6 year old dragon who hadn't pooped for 6 weeks. .... So here is an update and still some questions! 3 weeks ago he went to the vets (who has some experience with reptiles, my nearest reptile specialist is 60 miles away). He took an Xray and saw...

Hey guys, my 6 year old beardie is very lethargic. He always brumates. Back in march he woke up and was active for a month then went back into lethagic mode and has been that way for 2 months nearly. He hasnt pooped and thats what i suspect to be the problem. Ive given him baths, rubbed his...

hey guys. anyone got any ideas?

sorry, images didn't come out... here they are

Hey folks. Gandhi has just been for his yearly vets appointment and fecal sample. Mites showed up in his fecal although the vet said, 'well, it doesn't say what type of mites so i guess it could be house mites, which are everywhere'. So not particularly helpful! He gave me some panomec which i...

Gandhi doesn't run for the salad either, i guess because it's not moving!!! I just put one bug in his viv at a time making sure he eats them all and there isn't any left in the viv. Or some people feed them in a separate tub

Looks female to me but might be too young to tell

I would say don't change the times each day that you but his lights on. Keep it on the same cycle each day. How old is you beardie? Personally I put gandhi's salad in in the morning then feed him live food in the afternoon. Could you just leave his salad in there in the day and when you get home...

Don't Panic! As said before beardies always slow down when they are shedding and this can last as long as he is shedding. Has he completed his shed yet? if not, don't panic! Give him his baths everyday to ease the shed. Beadies go through stages of not eating or slowing down. They are very good...

Have you looked here? http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html It's brilliant for trying new things and seeing the nutrition content of different foods

Hey, Welcome. Sounds like your doing a great job and done all your research before you got them :) and they are now with a brill owner I'm not suprised he didn't poop he's Only been getting crix every 2 weeks :shock: They should have them everyday really poor things and fresh salads. From...

Sorry to hear that. People on here suggest not to give superworms unless the beardie is 16" long because they are hard to digest. So he may be compacted which basically means constipated! a warm shoulder height bath should help and very gently rub his belly. Sometimes beardies go through short...

I always buy all my food from this shop on ebay http://stores.ebay.co.uk/internetreptile Never bought crix but locusts and morio worms are always good. You should feed them as many as they can eat in say 5 mins and see when they start slowing down! Just make sure the crix aren't larger then the...

No problem here i'd say. If they're eating a lot they will be pooping a lot!! as long as the poop isn't really watery

You can buy any normal ceramic tiles from any DIY store. Non shinny ones are best - rough type. you"ll probably find that you'll have to cut them to size. Some tiles places cut them for you if you take them in measured out.

It's probably not brumation. Isn't it summer over there? Also it's very unlikely that a Beardie will brumate in their first year. May be worth taking a fecal sample to the vets for a parasite check? What sort of UV light do you have? The coil type have been known to cause problems with eye...

I can only base this on english temperatures but I don't need one in the summer but winter I have an 100w CHE on a thermostat and it can get to minus 10 outside. A 60w should be fine for you. You'll need a thermostat to properly control the temperature but I would think a 60w would be fine for...

Hey Guys. A couple months ago I thought Gandhi was going into brumation. He had all of the classic signs of it. I had a fecal sample done just incase and it turned out he had pinworms. They have been treated and he has eaten a bit since but now he hasn't eaten for a week and is showing all the...
