    Hasn't Pooped In WEEKS :(

    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...

    Not eating or pooping a lot..

    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...

    Vitamins and Tank Hoods

    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...

    Gaping a lot? Possible Respiratory Infection?

    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...

    Naughty Lizard!

    Yesterday I was watching T.V. with my beardie on the couch, and when I stretched over to get the remote control, He jumped off the couch, and climbed his way up the coffee table! I was so startled, because when I turned back, I realized he wasn't next to me in his beardie-burrito! I saw him just...

    Stress Marks all the time?

    I don't think my beardie is stressed. He has normal temperature of 100-110 at his basking site, and a cool side of 75-85 degrees (though it rarely drops to 75.) I measure his temps with a probe & wire thermometer. His humidity ranges from 30-50%. He has paper-towel substrate, and eats a daily...

    Good Vitamins/Supplements?

    I've recently had my beardie on calcium w/D3 and now I'm switching him over to a calcium w/o D3 (I've heard they can get overdosed with the D3) and he should be able to produce his own natural D3 levels in his body. I'm also thinking about getting him a new multi-vitamin, and I was wondering if...

    Water in his Ears?

    Whenever I give my beardie a bath, he loves dunking his head under the water, and it seems tons of water must be getting in his ears...It doesn't seem to bother him, but I just want to make sure this won't cause him any health issues in the future. Thanks,

    I need a new variety of Food: Any Suggestions?

    My beardie has been eating collard greens and butternut squash every since I purchased him. He's also been eating crickets everyday. I was just wondering what are some other options to give him as food that I could easily find (I know silkworms are hard to find/feed, so nothing like that please...

    10.0 or 5.0 UVB?

    I need to know What's the difference between a 10.0 UVB tube, or a 5.0 UVB tube. If there is a difference, which one should I get for a 20 gallon long tank (my Beardie is still a baby, so does he need more or less UVB or the same as an adult?) Thanks for the help!

    Veggies, Please help!

    I found a list of things to feed my beardie, but I do not know whether or not I should cook these things... Some for example, are: Collard greens, squash, pumpkins, carrots, etc. I shred all of these things to make it easy for my bearded dragon to eat. I heard of someone cooking the collard...

    There is a cut on my Beardie's tail!

    The other day my beardie was in the process of shedding. He'd been scratching at the tip of his tail, so I decided to help him peel off some skin. The tip of his tail has been very black-brown looking since I purchased him. The breeders said his brothers and sisters had gotten a nibble at him...

    Eyes! Please help me!

    :help: I'm a mommy to a wonderful bearded dragon named Ricky. During the first few weeks of owning him, he was having tremors with his fingers and legs due to improper UVB sources...To fix this, the vet recommended me purchasing a fluorescent coil bulb with 10.0% UVB output. I'd purchased this...
