Do you all prefer a certain size tile? I will have to get new tiles as we used the others in the bottom of the painted turtle's tank that came home from the pond last summer :D They were smaller and I hated how the urine would seep down between the tiles and make a huge mess. Also question...

How on earth did you train her to do that? Wait wasn't that a movie? " How to train a dragon?" :wink:

So....where does she go to the bathroom? Uggg... my Max would go tons in his tank and then run through it....YUCK!

Thanks for the quick replies! I know she doesn't eat much of anything for veggies right now. Neither did my Max, be he was still under a year old when he passed. What do I clean the tile with? I was using a light vinegar water solution with Max trying to keep it "natural" but again, I second...

Hi all! We are back! nearly a year ago our sweet boy Max passed away, and the family is ready for a new beardie, however we are adopting a beardie who is about a year and a half old. She is a sweet girl with a super friendly demeanor. However right now her enclosure has sand, which we were...

Thank you all for such support! This forum has been so helpful through all of this. My son is starting to feel better....We have been two nights without tears to sleep. I still miss him dearly and keep wondering if I did something wrong along the way, did I not clean the veggies well enough...

After several weeks of illness, unexplained, we lost our sweet Max today. He was about 1 year old, and had a fiesty little soul. My 7 year old son saved his money for a very long time to purchase him (of course I threw in the cost of the tank etc) He was such a joy and fantastic addition to...

Thank you all for your prayers.... After Max came in from his first trip outside, he passed away 1/2 hour later...It was for the best, he was having such a hard time breathing. We will never know what was exactly wrong, but we know that we loved him, and he made an impact in our lives. We did...

Took Max outside for the first time to lay in the "real" sun. I promised him more trips out if he would hang in there. He has kept his food down the last two times I fed him. But still no poop in nearly 2 days. Only giving him 2-3mls of babyfood chicken watered down with gatorade at a time...

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers! Max is still with us however he is pretty yellow and pale. His seizures are fewer but I am really forcing him to eat now. Heard back from the vet and he said to just hang in there that it takes awhile to regenerate the liver. I am still worried about...

It could be calcium problems now, since he has been a good 3 weeks without much for calcium. However, the result came back neg for the parasite that he was treated for. His seizures came back on tuesday but seem to be gone today, that said he is bright yellow again, and does not want food...

Thanks Tracie for all your advice! I am ready to scream!!!!!!!! The "prolapse" went away, the swelling has gone down. He isn't willing to eat through the syringe like he was and I am back at work so he doesn't get fluids throughout the day. Tonight, right back to having seizures! He has been...

Now What? This poor guy can not catch a break! This morning he was up and in pretty good spirits considering...Really didn't want to eat but I made him have some baby food apple and baby cereal mixed with gatorade. But he seemed more alert holding himself up and looking around, even moving...

So I checked him it went back in but he is really swollen down in that area...this poor Dragon can not catch a break...Now what do I do? I am still feeding him baby food through a syringe because he has not eaten on his own for 2 weeks now. He seems to be gaining some strength and now this...

What in the world causes this? LIke I said he has been very sick so I didn't know if it was part of what has been going on with him. ugg...it was gross...I will go check him he is sleeping right now :(

Should I see any of the inside of the beardies "vent" I think that is what it is called, (where they poop from). I have noticed it being sort of swollen, and he has been having health issues that are still unresolved. but today when I picked him up I could see a clear like membrane looking...

So this morning he took his food! Baby Food of course, he also lifted himself up to look at what the kids were doing too! The inside of his mouth is a lot LESS yellow and his skin is less yellow too. Thanks for all the prayers!!!! Keeping fingers crossed that we might be on the mend...

I received an email from the vet last night saying the stool sample came back negative for the parasite! ugg..... He clearly has something going on with his liver because he keeps turning yellow but mostly if he has been under his light, he darkens up at night when his light goes out and first...

Such a roller coaster ride! I actually thought he was dead this morning, he kept "gagging" but it seemed like he was trying to poop too so I thought maybe he was pushing to hard. I left him alone and went back later and he was laying on his side not breathing. so I laid him down and I thought...

The vet came today, said he looks really good considering. All my efforts feeding him with a syringe 3 to 4 times a day has paid off. However he has Cryptosporidium (parasite) and now liver dysfunction because of it. He is pretty yellow and normally he is a dark gray color. The vet gave him an...
