    could someone coach me on coccidia cleaning?

    Ok, Nemesis has coccidia, not a ton, but more than she should. I'll be getting meds tomorrow. Her viv has wooden walls and glued down tile flooring. I have been told to steam clean, which I can do, but how often? And how do I steam clean wooden walls? Is it safe? Also, she roams my carpet, it is...

    help me guys, I need a weight loss plan

    Ok, Nemesis has always been a fatty, but she is now 19.75" and 724 grams! This is majorly getting outta hand. I only feed her bugs every 3 days and she eats greens every day. She is just the laziest thing in the world (always has been). What can I do? I genuinely think she would eat until she...

    any way to enhance appetite?

    I have a 3 month old silkie and he is healthy in all respects, but he just does not eat much at all. He does not have parasites and he does gain weight steadily, just not that much. He is 25 grams (weighed 9.3 grams when I got him 6 weeks ago, so he has almost tripled in size in my possession)...

    broken tip of tail

    Ok, I have no idea how this happened but the last half inch or so of Nachtmahr's tail is broken. It isn't black so I don't think its "dead." The part where the break is there is also a break in the skin. I bought some zoo med repti wound healing aid and have been making sure the area stays...

    is this calcium deficiency? Home from the vets

    Hello all, I have a baby silkback, Nachtmahr, I have had him for almost a month so he is about 10 weeks old. When I got home from Uni today, I noticed he was a bit off, he was hanging out on the cool side (not a big deal there though he rarely does it) and he was looking a bit wrinkly (anyone...

    anybody have a baby that is not so enthusiastic about food?

    My baby Nachtmahr is almost 8 weeks old. He is 6 inches long and 10ish grams. He has TONS of energy. But he is just NOT an eater. He will eat...a little. But not like a baby should. He is a silkback so I get that he probably won't eat as much as a normal baby, but we're talking like 8 tiny...

    oh god, not again. Blood? in urates. Pic of her

    Ok, back in March I had this problem, I will find the thread if anyone thinks they may know something. But Nemesis just went potty and there was the blood again. The question mark is because it just doesn't LOOK like blood exactly, but I can't imagine anything else it would be. Long story short...

    getting him to eat crickets

    Those of you that feed crickets, I just bought some for Nachtmahr and put them and him into a small rubbermaid container and he ate ONE. Then was way more concerned with trying to headbutt his reflection and get out. So I gave him some more mini mealies ( from www.minimealworms.com, not the hard...

    Nachtmahr -- New pic, finally getting fat!

    So, many of you know I had planned to get a little silkie baby I had named Pazuzu. Well, Pazuzu isn't doing well and we don't think he will survive being shipped. My friend will be taking the best care of him that he can and hopefully he will survive. So, without further ado, meet Nachtmahr...

    what do you know about minimealies?

    The guy I am getting my baby dragon from uses them (among other things) and I read their website. But I had never heard of them before, and I was wondering if anyone had some insight on their nutritional value? For anyone who, like myself before a week ago, thinks that these are just smaller...

    feces encased in mucus

    As the title says, Nemesis has been, for a few weeks now, having mucus covering her poo, like a pouch. She's had (and still has sometimes) GI tract issues, but I'm not sure if that would be related. Does anyone know what would cause this? I've been meaning to take a fecal in for her 6 month...

    weird nerve reaction in back

    So, I'm assuming that most people pet their beardie's shoulders and back. Recently, if I rub Nemesis along her spine near her shoulders or tail base, her body kinda jumps like a nerve reaction. I have never noticed this before on her. She reacts just as we would if something poked a nerve on us...
