    Blood in urate

    For the past week, I've been seeing a little red in Wolfgang's urate. I didn't think much of it since he's been acting like his normal self, and he still is, but I'm certain now that a vet visit is in order. The problem is that, while my mom agrees with me, my dad seems to think it's not that...

    Watermelon?

    We bought some pre-packaged watermelon today and I want to know if Wolfgang can have a litle bit of it. I saw that it was categorized as "sometimes" on the beardie nutrition site, but I'm still wary after him having reactions to bits of strawberries and oranges. Would watermelon be easy on his...

    Likes hammock a little too much?

    In the last week or so, it seems as though Wolfgang has gotten a little too comfortable with his hammock. He lays in it quite a bit, and while that's not a problem, he prefers to lay there than bask when he needs to. He still basks, just not as much as I think he should. He lays there for hours...

    Blackbearding?!

    A minute ago I got up to check on Wolfgang, and his beard is completely black. It's not puffed up...And he doesn't seem irritated. He's wrapped in a blanket on my lap just looking around, alert and moving around. His belly is grayish, but maybe that's because he's about to shed part of his body...

    Well that's...interesting...

    My parents came home, and had stopped at Petsmart to get crickets. Apparently they asked one of the employees, who we talk to often there, about superworms. After saying that Wolfgang isn't big enough for them yet, she said that she's required to warn the customers about cutting off the heads...

    Oh my goodness! He really has grown!

    Everytime my friends come over I take Wolfgang out for him to say hi, and nearly everytime they're amazed at how big he's gotten since the last time they've seen him. My common response is "Whaaat? He hasn't grown THAT much...Psssh, you people are crazy." Well I was looking through some pics of...

    I'm pretty sure it's too soon :/

    To be feeding Wolfgang large crickets. My parents went over to Petsmart yesturday to get crickets. And apparently one or two of the workers said that I should be moving him up to the large ones. And my dad believed them because they said their had beardies of their own. Umm...He's only six...

    Fluker's Buffet Blend pellets?

    I bought a jar of this stuff when I got Wolfgang. We've only used about a spoon-full of it since then, but today I was told to try to mix it with his veggies. I figured it wouldn't hurt, and he doesn't seem to be discouraged from eating his greens. But I'm wondering if this stuff is any good for...

    Riding a piggy?

    I'm...so surprised he tolerated it xD A few days ago I had a couple friends over who were spending the night. They've been over before and know Wolfgang well by this point, and he seems to like them. I have this little multi-colored piggy sitting by his viv that walks, oinks and moves its tail...

    Ceramic heat emitter question...

    Well, it's been getting pretty cold lately. Been getting down to 40 degrees lately, and my mom has agreed to take me to get a CHE on Friday (been keeping Wolfgang warm until then with an extra blanket covering his eyes and a red bulb set on just high enough to keep the temp at 75 degrees.) I...

    Won't get out of bed in the morning?

    I've been having to pick Wolfgang up out of bed and place him on his basking spot for the past few days, simply because he won't get up and move there himself. I'm not quite sure why, though. Lights are off by 9:30, come on by 8:00-8:30. I don't have a timer set up yet, so I drag myself out...

    Finally got bit today...

    This morning, while Wolfgang was basking in the window. He didn't do it on purpose, but dang...It certainly didn't feel pleasant. I was hand-feeding him some greens and I guess I had my finger in the wrong spot, so he took it along with the food. To add insult to injury, he sort of glared at...

    Early Sexing?

    I've been curious about Wolfgang's gender since the day I got him, and have been hoping for a male (which is why I refer to it as "he"). I know it's nearly impossible to tell before they've reached adulthood, but I was curious. I lifted his tail and looked after giving him a bath and was a...

    Well...So much for laying down...

    It's snuggle time for Wolfgang. And tonight he has decided to shove his snout against my shirt, body covered with his little blanket, and fall asleep like that. Oh, it's adorable! But...I'm sitting cross-legged on my bed, and I really want to lay down. But I don't want to disturb him! ._...

    How do you weigh your beardie?

    Just curious... I asked my mom about it, since I really want to monitor Wolfgang's weight, and we ended up checking out Wal-Mart and finding a kitchen gram scale. Would this work? She also said something about converting pounds to grams or...something like that...And I'm going to be honest: I...

    Yet another Petco rant...

    Long story short: My mom and I went to get crickets yesturday, and had to go to Petco since Petsmart was out of small ones. While she got the crickets, I checked out the reptiles. And was thoroughly disgusted. -- The beardie babies were smaller than I have ever seen there...But I'm not sure if...

    Wolfgang has...

    Officially discovered the window in my room. I set him on the sill and he immediately rushed to the screen to check out the backyard, which he has never seen. I cut up his veggies and put the bowl next to him, placed a brand new dish towel (I got a second one which is now his blanket) on the...

    Is he shedding his body?

    Wolfgang's body is an entirely different color than his head, legs and tail. I'm pretty sure he's getting ready to shed it...But it just seems so dark compared to the grayish color I was expecting. I'm not even sure if he already shed his body or not. I was away the day/night he shed his head...

    Jeez...Now I feel bad...

    I just put my little Wolfgang back in his viv for the night after spening a good thirty minutes of enjoying him snuggled up asleep on my shoulder. I did what I always do...Walk in as gently as I could, turned off the heat light so he wouldn't be too disturbed (I leave it on during our cuddle...
