Backstory; Bearded dragon who has been sick for quite some time. Vet #1 didn't seem to do much for her after a lot of visits and money. Let her chill out for a little while before trying vet #2 (she stared losing a lot of weight with Vet #1 visits and leveled out after I stopped taking her)...

I have a female dragon who has been slow and sick for a looong time. I am on vet #2 and one recent suggestion was upping the cage temps even though they are warm enough, though on the lower end of the suggestion spectrum. I keep the basking area around 103ish and the floor at 80. She will do...

My bearded dragon has been having issues on and off for some time now. She has seen two different vets but they don't seem to make a huge difference. I have temp thermometers in multiple locations, so I don't think it's environmental. To be honest it seems like she's had a stroke or...

So, I have been trying to heat up the inside of my enclosure since my dragon likes it toasty (she won't eat if it's too cool and has been on a food strike recently). I bought another heat lamp and turned up the temps on the floor to get her to perk up. Last night I was washing a new basking...

So, a little history... a little over a year ago my dragon had something in her eye that made it look a little cloudy. I took her to the vet and he tried a couple of things with no results at all. She was losing weight fast as well. She was just going into brumation and after dropping a lot...

So, my Bearded dragon has been sick for a little bit. I had her in and out of the vet's office, 5-600 bucks later, no change. One of her eyes looked infected but nothing he gave me changed anything and she stopped eating. So, I left her alone, she started eating again (stress from the Dr...

So, I thought I'd look for tips or insight on my current Dragon blues. I have a girl who is roughly 3 to 4 years old. She got what looked to be an infection in one eye. The eyelid that lies in-between her eye and the outer lid was stuck in the middle and it was reddish. Took her to the vet...

I got my beardie a huge cage since I found it on Craigs list for a great price. It was used for a large snake. It is 2' x 2' and 6' long. its made out of thick plastic and I have slate tiles for the floor. Her basking area is a set of 3 large branches. I have tried basking lights, but they...

So first, don't worry I don't plan on buying Cali sand or any of the other notrious substrates for killing beardies. I have read on here that play sand properly washed is ok. I took my dragon down to my Aunts a few weeks ago while on Vacation and let her run outside (my aunt lives in the...

So, even though it's way off season my dragon appears to be brumating. However I want to make sure it is just that and not her being ill. Her last poo was pretty normal. She has been showing less and less intrest in searching out food but she would eat if I put her right in front of the food...

So, my now 14 inch dragon eats like a maniac, she can down 20+ silk worms (med) plus 30 or so smaller sized roaches (mixed but most quite small) plus 2 smallish pinkies. That was today. She had the roaches this morning and the rest around dinner time. After she ate she sat under her stump...

For those who feed something other than crickets... where do you order? Looking for something more affordable! My dragon is on a cricket strike and has become quite expensive to feed!

So, has anyone feed either of the above to their Beardie? I am looking for some cheaper worm options. I would only buy them from feeder sites of course... not the ones meant for gardens. I figured I'd find out if anyone had tried these before first.

Ok, so I was feeding the Dragon crickets in a plastic bin which worked great. She would gobble them up like no one's business. Then, she started to get really sporadic with her eating. She'll eat worms no problem, but crickets not so much. My worm supply has been low so crickets were her...

So, what size guideline would you use for worms? I ordered medium silkworms and their actual sizes vary greatly. Some of them are pretty large, close to 1.5" Girth wise they are not insanely fat, their heads are the largest area and they are still smaller than the space between the eyes. Is...

So, how long is too long for a dragon to go without having a poop? She has been laying around, but if I put her in the "feed bin" she does perk up and eats quite well. I have given her apple sauce and olive oil but to no avail. She has no hard spots on her, her belly feels soft as if all is...

So, my geckos get fed in bowls at night since they all keep crazy hours. They only get dubai, silk, and repti-worms so nothing that can get lose and eat them. Do you think it would be ok to give the Dragon their leftover bugs in the morning? She is a much better eater than they are. It would...

The petstore said the dragon should have a bowl of water at all times where as I see some owners just spray the dragon a couple of times a day? Which do you prefer and why?

So, I have read, "space between the eyes" and "space between eyes and nose," for bug size. I am wondering which you guys use. Thanks!

So, here is the current setup: It is pretty simplistic, I set it up that way "just in case," I ended up with a younger one, since I read that too much can cause them not to eat. Well, we went to the big Vivarium today and ended up getting a mid-sized girl, not a full adult, but defiantly not...
