Well, that does ease my mind. Ricky has also fallen asleep today and just woke up from a whole day of sleeping. He may be going into brumation. Hopefully I have nothing to worry about :)

I guess I'll try juicy veggies, which I have already tried. More of the problem is that he doesn't WANT to eat. He denies everything I give him other than the baby food. Again, I feel it is impossible for him to be impacted. I never fed him anything too big for him to eat (it was always smaller...

I've tried the rubbing in the bath, but I will still continue to do so. I really can't see how he'd be impacted, being that I have never had him on sand substrate, and prior to about a month ago, he was pooping regularly. I'm ordering phoenix worms and I've already tried different veggies...

I'm actually beginning to get quite worried about my beardie, Ricky. Ricky is approx. 16 months old and is about 17 inches long (he's missing a piece of his tail though.) He hasn't pooped since about November 21st (I marked the date since his pooping was already slowing down.) He eats very...

Just to confirm, I took Ricky to the vet and got him examined. They didn't think he had a RI, being that he was very alert and they could hear nothing coming from his lungs. So, we got a fecal done. Thankfully, he is completely clean and has no parasites whatsoever. My vet explained that he must...

I don't use a nighttime heat source, since my apartment always stays above 75 degrees. I know his humidity is quite high. He is close to a window but it is never open. I usually put on the AC when it gets too humid, and that brings it back down to 30%.

His poop has been relatively normal, not really runny at all. His humidity is about 40% at the moment. Now that you mention it, he has been trying to sleep lately. I think he's been having trouble though, because it seems he's outgrown his hiding spot. I'll definitely head to the store and pick...

My beardie, Ricky, lately hasn't been eating many crickets or veggies. I dust his crix with herptivite and repti-cal d3 calcium every other day. His veggies consist of collard greens, butternut squash, and sometimes other things like dandelion greens, mustard greens, escarole, or endive. I...

I'd earlier posted asking about what are some good vitamins. I already have my new calcium and multi-vitamin coming in, but I don't know how many times a week I should be giving the vitamins to my lizard. He's approx. 7-8 months old, and I'd just like to know what would be best for him. I...

He's still been gaping a lot today, but he's still ever as alert, and he's still eating plenty. Today I gave him a little bit of apple juice drizzled on his veggies to boost his vitamin C in case something is wrong with him (He really thought it was yummy!) Now he's still very alert. He was just...

Thanks for the help you guys. I'm going to hold back on taking him to the vet right away, and I'll monitor him to see if his behavior changes. He seems fine now, and still has his little piggy appetite. The popping noise that I hear seems to be as if it's coming from him just stretching his neck...

Thanks. He's been gaping for some quite long periods of time, but it's always under his basking log, so I thought it was just because of the heat. I haven't noticed any mucous or anything else of that matter. This has been going on for a few days, and it's come to my attention now (it seemed odd...

My beardie has been gaping a lot lately, and has been puffing his beard in a out a few times in a row, several times a day. I'm really worried that he may have a respiratory infection. I seem to have heard a small popping noise coming from him, but I'm not entirely sure. He doesn't sleep...

If his poop still looks a little odd to you, you should consider getting a fecal done at the vet. He may have parasites of some kind. The sand substrate may also be an issue, he may have some impaction. Do you feed him in the same tank? If so, I would use a different substrate so that he doesn't...

Glad to hear she's doing better :) Hopefully, she'll continue to heal right up :)

My UVB light is on for 12-13 hours a day, while my basking bulb is on until he goes to sleep.

Aw poor baby!!! That's terrible :( Any idea when/where she got it from? I hope your little girl feels better soon. Just make sure you give her her meds and give her lots of love and care :)

Being that you had a coiled bulb, I'd switch that off for awhile until you can get a new ReptiSUN 10.0 TUBE bulb (http://www.petmountain.com/product/reptile-fluorescent-bulbs/504983/zoo-med-reptisun-10.0-uvb-bulb.html) that is safe to use on beardies. If you are able to find that kind of...

That's great :D The eye-drops really helped out my beardie too, and I could see how relieved they made his eyes feel. I'm glad that Nunu is feeling better :)

I hope your beardie feels better soon !
