Hi all, I need to stock up on more calcium and vitamins for my beardie and was wondering if anyone knows some good brands in the UK that I can order online. i have seen products that say they are vitamin and calcium combined but I dont see how that works as they need more calcium than vitamins...

Hi all, I think I am going to have to start force feeding my beardie and I am not looking forward to it. I have no idea how to get her mouth open :( Does anyone have a foolproof plan? I hate the idea of hurting my Brindi, but I hate the fact that she isn't eating also so needs must and all...

I have heard this term a lot and am very unclear as to what it means and when it needs to be done/how often/to which feeder/how long before eating etc (many questions sorry). If anyone could give me any info that would be great. Thank you :D

I live in the UK and am feeding my beardie babyfood atm as she is snubbing all other food. I have read that some owners use something called critical care but I have never heard/seen it before. Any help? Thanks.

Hi, this may be a real stupid question, but I have typed up a pm and thought I had sent it, but it is still in my outbox. How do I get it to actually send? Thank you :)

Hi all, me again :oops: Could anybody tell me why my beardies tail is dark underneath. I have scrubbed it very gently with a baby toothbrush and given my beardie a bath everyday for a week and it doesn't seem to be getting cleaner (if it IS dirt of course). Would it be because she (just...

Hi all, I have been told Basil is a lil boy, but having seen some pics on internet I am not now sure if he is a she :roll: I have some pics here if anyone could help. Also could anyone tell me why he/she is dark by her/his tail? I have scrubbed it gently and she/he (i refuse to say "it") has...

Hi all, I have a problem with crickets. Basil my beardie loves them - well he did last week, who knows today :roll: - but I can't deal with them :oops: I am always so worried they will jump and escape. I would have to empty his viv to find them and that is too much disruption. I have a...

Hi all, I would like to post a link to my blog in my signature. Could anybody tell me how to do that? Also Everytime I try to add an avatar it tells me that the size is too big, how so I resize? Sorry if this is in the wrong thread :oops: Thanks all :D

Another question folks. I am sat here obssessively staring at Basil my beardie and I noticed that he doesnt look as relaxed as he did yesterday. He isn't in his basking spot all flat and relaxed. He is halfway down the length of his viv with the front of his body raised off the ground he has...

Woohoo!!! He had a lil poop (a bit loose but better than nothing) and just now he ate 4 waxworms! I know they are just for treats and I wont give him anymore today, but he turned his nose up at the locust. So 4 waxworms and a tiny amount of babyfood today - result!!! *insert humongous grin...

Hi all, me again :roll: . Basil's new reptisun 10 arrived today. I have installed it and it hangs down from his ceiling about 7 and a bit inches from his basking spot. I have actually tilted it slightly as his cool end is slightly lower than his basking spot and I wanted to make sure that he...

Hi all, I seem to be flooding the forum with questions at the moment, apologies :oops: I was wondering what the difference between mealworms and superworms are? I am unable to breed my own feeders (space and family members freaking out issues) so just want to make sure I am not sold the wrong...

Hi all, I have sorted the heating out in my recently rescued Beardie's viv, although I am waiting for a repti-sun 10 as he has a repti-glo 5 at the moment, it should arrived any day now. The temps are great (took a bit of work and many different bulbs) and he enjoyed his bath today. He is all...

Just a quick update to let all know that I have finally got Basil's basking spot temps right! I have been sick with worry these past few days and have only been kept sane by the help and friendliness of all on this forum :) I have installed his new fake rock and he has been sitting on his...

Ok having been a wee bit thick these past few hours I have changed tack. I have been trying to get Basil's basking spot temps up with no luck until i realised that it wasnt a case of adding a string of bulbs, but of raising his basking spot! Ok Ok I know it isn't rocket science, but I got a...

Hi all, I have almost finished my 1st attempt at fake rock :) just got to paint it and seal it. I have acrylic paints, no problems there, but I am not sure about the sealant. I have pva glue (i live in the uk) as i havent seen or heard of modge podge over here. Is diluted pva ok to use in a...

Hi all, I have just been browsing the forums (fairly new to this site and new to beardies also) and I have noticed that a lot of you have reptisun 10 uvbs. My beardie (i have inherited him recently) has a reptiglo 5 uvb in his viv. Could you please tell me if this is bad? I am starting to...

Hi my beardie, Basil, is just not eating. He has never been a huge eater but has always been active and alert, clear eyes, pooping once a day etc. Over the last few weeks it has been a real struggle though. I haven't had him from a baby, he is roughly 2 1/2 I think. He has a ceramic heater...
