Has anyone ever had this diagnosed in a beardie? About a month ago we took in an adult male about 4 years old. He had an obvious RI when he came home to us. We took him to the vet and got meds for that and then got a fecal in and he had protozoan parasites. Needless to say, with all the meds he...

I got a wooden viv off of craigslist and need to paint and seal the inside. What brand or type of paint/sealant should I look for? Anything to definitely avoid? Thanks!

Hi - My beardie is (very thankfully) recovering from having fluke eggs in her stool. She also had a pretty awful RI which the vet set was likely a result of having had the fluke eggs so bad. I'm just wondering if anyone has had experience with them and where they possibly came from. From...

Hi - I posted the following in 'health' last night, but now I've got some new things going on. Her eyes look sunken when she closes them and she is STILL black bearding which is SO odd for her. Other than the beard, absolutely NO stress marks though. I gave her a bath tonight. She wouldn't...

Hi - I've had Puffy since June '11 (she was around 3 months old). She's about 17" long and was 437 g at her highest but has not been eating well and has lost some (my scale needs new batteries). I took her to the vet 2 weeks ago to have him look at her tail. It's got a crook about 3 1/2"...

Puffy has gone 1 1/2 days without pooping before, but never 3 days since I got her on June 5th. Bathed her yesterday and a long soak tonight with belly massage, but still no luck. She's on paper towels so it's not a substrate issue. Her appetite has been not as good for the past several weeks...

Several questions – sorry for the book. Here’s some background: I’ve had Puffy since June 5th. She’s 14” and 170 grams. I estimate her to be around 7 months old. She was acting really lethargic and not moving around so I took her to the vet and he said she had early signs of MBD (lethargy...

I've had Puffy Petunia for 3 months now and lately she's been doing the eye bulge quite a bit. She just shed her head a week ago, but I keep noticing the eye bulging a few times a day. I've read the article on here and I'm not super freaked out, just wondered if anyone else had an eye bulger...

Hi :) I got my baby Puffy Petunia back on June 5th. I got so much wonderful advice on this site and Puffy is doing great (haven't posted much lately, but she is up to 71 grams (was only 11 when I got her) and 11" (up from 6" when I got her). On to GG tho...my mom fell in love with Puffy and...

I've been anxiously awaiting finding out what gender Puff is so I can get his/her middle name picked. He's a little over 9" now and was wondering if anyone had some input on these pics. I've looked at the videos and pics on what to look for as far as male/female. I just can't tell from these...

This doesn't seem to be ER yet, but just in case he starts acting weird, wanted to see if there was anything I could do. Puff just ate some of the straw like stuff that was sticking out of his log. I just happened to be standing in front of his viv when he starting chewing it. He got about an...

I've been reading how a lot of people take their beardie out after it's been asleep for awhile and hold them. Does it really help with bonding, or is he just asleep and I'm holding him, lol? My little guy was all for being held the first few weeks I had him, but now he's all squirmy when I...

Puff had his 2nd dose of Pancur for pinworms today and I was wondering if I should give him any probiotics. The first dose was less than a week after I got him and I hadn't heard of doing that before. He seemed fine the first time around, but his appetite finally seems 'normal' for a baby and...

I've been freaking myself out the last few weeks reading the 'Health' and 'ER' forums and was wondering, what is good to keep on hand for general health concerns and emergency situations? It looks like a lot of things are only available online and while I don't plan on anything going wrong it...

Found some great info on 'QUAT' disinfectants from a couple of posts, but I'm having a hard time finding one and really need to switch up my beardie's basking spot tonight. I'll probably end up using bleach this time around until I can order one online and was wondering how much to dilute it...

I recently switched my baby's viv out. He used to sleep on a lower log, clutching the log all night. Now he's sleeping on the highest point of the new, highest log (still clutching the log). Is he going to fall off during the night? Looks kind of uncomfortable lol. I wake up and he's still...

My viv's humidity is 30-40 during the day, but going up to 60-70 during the night (yikes!). Lights out temp is 70-73 degrees right now in the viv. Would it be ok to leave a black night light on to see if it reduces the humidity if the temps don't go too high? Or is this a bad idea? Not even...

I got some silkworms for my baby beardie - I'm trying to get him off the smelly crickets. I ordered the smallest ones and got them in the mail a week ago Friday. They tripled in size in a week and I'm not sure if they're ok for him or not. I've heard silkworms are good because they're soft...

We've had Puff for 3 weeks now. The last few days he has been doing this weird...head roll? He did it a couple of times Tuesday when I first got him out of his cage after work. Weds I didn't notice it. Thursday he did it right after I fed some lettuce. And again tonight after some lettuce...
