    Beardies have pinworms..:(

    Are the dry glut loaded crickets ok? I my stick with the dead ones and see if that makes a difference. If crickets can carry pin worm, I think I found the source of my beardie's pin worm problem.

    My beardie is in a room with no water source and she does not have water in her enclosure.

    HELP! Need lay box advice

    Ok...so I put together moistened unfertilized soil and vermiculite in a plastic shoebox and put it in Cora's cage last night. She didn't touch it, which is no surprise, but the humidity in her cage spiked up to 50% this morning. How do I control the humidity and can I just use dry special sand?

    Need help from Experienced Admin/beardie owner

    My beardie has always had runny poop like above. She poops once a day or every other day. We rinse her greens and feed them to her without drying them so she is getting a lot of water. We took her poop into the vet and he said all was fine so I am not sure that is a concern?
