Dewi has not been eating for the last two weeks. She has been to the vet today (reptile specialist) who was not too concerned as she seems healthy otherwise, although getting thin. He gave her some antibiotocs as a precaution and told me to bathe her every day (which I have been doing since...

I am pretty convinced that Dewi is now entering brumation. She has slowly lost her appetite - she did feed last night but is not interested tonight and has been becoming more lethargic. She did a bit of wandering yesterday but today has not moved other than lift her head or open one eye. I am...

For those of you like to chuff on cigarettes...I have found that (cardboard) fag packets make great cricket feeders. Once dusted, pop a cig packet in the bag (an empty one, obviously :) ), or empty them into it... Go to your feeding place, lean it against something and turn it upside down and...

Hello again. I have turned off the Reptiglo compact lights I had (after advice here) and switched to an Arcadia D3 tube which seems to be the light of choice in the UK. I also bought a reflector - but the light is sat above a mesh enclosure top. I have noticed that since doing this... 1)...

I have noticed a couple of "lumps" under Dewi's armpits (well - just underneath in her torso) on both sides when I pick her up. They feel like they are rugby (american football) shaped. Is this a normal thing? Is it possibly the start of eggs? She's healthy. No signs of illness or bad...

From my reading, most seem to think that it is best to feed your dragon in the morning when "they are most active". But..Dewi isn't that active in the morning and seems to eat more when she is fed around 6pm. However, I have been off work so have tried various times of day. I do let her warm...

Me again. Sorry for all the questions! Are there any signs to look out for that may imply dehydration? Dewi is sitting with her mouth slightly open quite a lot these past couple of days and I don't know why, but my gut instinct is that she needs to drink. I have never seen her drink in the...

Hi I have just noticed my beardie's eyes bulge out what looked quite uncomfortably far. This only happened for a few seconds then they went back to normal. She did also look like she may be burping or something at the same time. However, I have read that over-supplementing Vit A toxicity can...

I'm now into week 3 of slavery. :) I can handle Dew quite well now, she shows no signs of stress and will sit for a while with me. She does a little thing where she opens her mouth just a little, as if she would when getting a little warm. It doesn't look like threatening behaviour to me as she...

:) After a visit to the vet yesterday, Dewi was in a VERY bad mood for some time afterward. Beard was black and I am pretty sure she was sulking...sat facing the back wall of her lair. (It was there I found out Dewi is actually a lady beardie). So, I asked my wife to pick up some mealworms on...

:) Had Dewi nearly two weeks and seem to be utterly obsessed about EVERYTHING. I am assuming this may wear off maybe when I am more comfortable with knowing I am doing right...but looking on here sometimes, it looks like I may be very wrong! :D Been to the vet today for nails trimmed and...

I was just lining up to take some pics of Dewi in his newly tiled lair... when...ahem... (I stopped the photshoot right there!) ....then he casually trotted off for some lunch. :laughing6:

I have just re-jigged Dewi's viv temporarily to give him a new hidey-hole and will be putting tiles in tomorrow. However, he seems to have enjoyed climbing up and sitting under the 2.0 UVB light only 3 inches away. Just wondered if this is safe for him to do? If so I will put his climbers...

After seeing a few photos on here of viv's with reptile carpet, I am considering changing from sand - mainly because I think the dust is not good for his eyes. IMpaction I don't think is as much of an issue now I am feeding him outside the viv. I have a few questions for those that use carpet...

Not sure if this would be better in the feeding forum, however... If your dragon has not pooped since yesterdays main feed - do you still feed him? I have put his salad in there, but am a bit concerned about giving another dose of crickets until I know the last lot has "passed through" & know...

He's now been with me a week and after some corrections, re-situating his viv and a few tweaks to the layout... ...He's finally started munching his greens today :) ...and boy-oh-boy can he EAT! At first he was a little reticent, though eyeing up the insect tubs...and not eating a great deal...

Hi I was just wondering what people deem a reasonable amount of crickets to feed in a day to a 12" long 12month old? My guidebook just says "as many as they can consume in one ten minute feeding", but as I am letting them roam - this can obviously vary considerably depending how quickly he...

I made a suggestion buried in another thread - then noticed this forum for suggestions. Original Post: http://www.beardeddragon.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=131229#p1053843 And can I just say how much I am enjoying my time here.

Any tips? He is asleep and one of the crickets I have been trying to get out of his enclosure has darted away and is now underneath him. Any tips on waking / moving him without scaring the hell out him? Cheers

Hi The backing to Dewi's tank is made from polystyrene and looks like a rock face so is nice decoration, gives insulation and he seems to like dangling from it. However, being polystyrene, the corners break easily and now I have two "holes" at the bottom of each end...perfect hidey holes for...
