    Chicken Baby Food

    So our dragon hasn't been eating much lately and has been on and off lethargic. I thought it was maybe a sort of cool down of brumation sort of thing. We took him in and his bloodwork came back looking okay. He does have a very slight twitch in his leg, which we are monitoring. Again, his...

    Possible URI

    So I put my beardie in a new tank this week. Laid down some tan slate tile. Had to lower the bulb into the tank to get the temps up. Just got a stronger one, so that issue is solved. He's been on Reptaid for some minor parasite issues for 8 days, with two more to come before a break and...

    Pinworms and Coccidia

    My bearide has been treated for pinworms and coccidia recently. I took him for a follow up a few weeks ago and also had another fecal done. It came back saying both were still there. I am aware that low levels of either aren't the worst thing in the world. The vet said that as long as he's...

    Escaped Dragon--Disaster Averted

    So I went on vacation for a week and my girlfriend's dad took care of Bulmers. We came home today and he met us in the kitchen looking very concerned. We thought her cat who has cancer had to be put down, but it turns out she's hanging in there. He said "You have a very bad frog". Yes, he...

    Changing to Phoenix

    So I am looking to switch to Phoenix Worms for my 5 month old Beardie. He just got pinworms and I'm not sure how. Maybe a bad batch of crickets. Whatever. Phoenix don't smell and they just seem easier to work with. I know I would no longer have to dust them, except for the multivites two...

    Albon

    Just got a fecal back and Bulmers has cociddia and pinworms. Was given Albon for him to take .15ml once daily for 28 days. I would give the tank a good cleaning once a week while keeping it sanitary otherwise. I was told to clean it daily during this treatment. I will also get some new...

    Another PetSmart Post

    I went to PetSmart for some RepCal powder today. They seem to have a good selection of board recommended products. I always check out the animals when I go, whether it be cats, reptiles, birds, or other small animals. The one I go to seems to usually have active and alert beardies despite the...

    Gave treat for first time.

    I know raspberry is listed as rarely, while other berries are listed as occasionally, but it is all we had and my 4 year old nephew wanted to give Bulmers a treat. I ate most of it and let him put a half inch piece in front of Bulmers. He was confused at first cause it's always been greens and...

    Dark Color Question

    So Bulmers eats right, poops right, and runs around when given the space. All his temps/lighting/supplies are the board recommended. As I said, he's competely normal. I know they darken to attract heat, but sometimes, including right now, he gets extremely dark. He's a sandfire/german giant...

    Trying this again. Someone please answer. lol

    Can't seem to get an answer in the Health board. So Bulmers started shedding this weekend. he gets daily soaks, sometimes two. During the shed, his skin stays tented longer than usual. I know this normally means dehydrtion, but since he gets plenty of water, is this just a part of the shedding...

    Bulmers Update. So Happy

    Might be long winded, but I'm very proud of my work thus far. One question though, which will be at the end. My dragon Bulmers is doing fantastic. I estimates his hatch day in early to mid July. Eating about 30 dusted crickets a day and another 15-20 on a second feeding later on. Sometimes...

    Hydration

    About my new beardie that I've asked things about a few times this weekend--- There's no water in the enclosure. We keep the greens on the cool side away from the lights. They're in an empty ChikFilA barbeque sauce container and we put a half teaspoon of water in it so they don't dry out...

    Bulb Burnt Out

    I had a ReptiSun 10 that just burnt out after only a few days. It was flickering. I took the ReptiSun hood to a store in my area that does aquatics/reptiles and we put a new bulb in to make sure it wasn't the starter in the hood. The new one went on fine and it's up in my viv right now. The...

    Greens

    So I threw a few big handfuls of collard greens into a food processor. Then I did about 15 green beans and about a third of a sweet potato and mixed it all together. It's all finely chopped and he loves it. I've heard conflicting things about sweet potatoes though. Is it okay to be in his...

    Temperature/Humidity

    I have this thermometer: http://www.prothermostats.com/product.php?product=110790 Warm side with 60W bulb is 95º and humidity about 35%. Cool side is between 75-80º, with humidity around 45%. What's a good humidity to stay under? I've heard 45-50º should be the MAX.

    Impaction Question

    Just got a new beardie. His pics are in the intro section. He ate a ton of small crickets last night, but one or two of them were a bit bigger than the others. I tried to make sure none slipped through. They were a tad bigger than the space between his eyes and he got to them before I could...
